re: Just Watched "Happy Valley" on Netflix

I think I can sum up how most people feel about this.

We are not denying that Paterno was a great coach. He was. Yes, we can have the discussion about him hanging out for more then decade too long just to rack up extra wins. He was still a great coach. One of the best.

We also all know now he knew something. He was faced with the absolute worst case scenario. A close friend. A confidant. Was a child molester.

Paterno blinked. He sought the easy way out. When a man that had preached the importance of doing things the right way was presented with the ultimate test of doing things the right way... he didn't do it. Penn State backed him.

No, he shouldn't have X number of wins stricken from his record. He should have all of them marked out. He preached the responsibility of athletics and then turned his back. While children were raped.

Paterno was a great coach, possibly a great man, who failed so very badly when he should not have. He made his bed, or in this case grave, now he can lay in it.
