Makes perfect sense to me.

Terrific +1

That is obscene.

We don't mention this enough: what if you thought the whole JoePa thing kind of reeked the whole time? That something felt off and culty and Southern Baptist preacher waiting to be defrocked about it? And now you've been proven right in the a way far more disgusting than you imagined? My money was on a financial…

Paterno did a lot of good things. Then he ruined all of it (repeat: ALL OF IT) when it became apparent that he was willing to sacrifice powerless children to protect that legacy you list up there.

Who needs 'informed opinion' on this issue? JoePa assisted the coverup of a rapist, by action or inaction. That statue is an affront to common decency. If you want to remember him for something else, do so in another place, another time.

Hated GnR, although respected the riffs.

I think I know how you meant that, but I think you may have the wrong 'horse' in that argument.

So, just so we're clear: a guy with an entire life devoted to a sport that you're just driving past, with content that cost him to produce, with a much larger interested audience, didn't want to give you, another for-profit company, a pic?

That part of the show is truly awful, and unless they are terrible I skip the whole thing. Frankly, the fact that JayK is actually a decent driver soured me on the whole thing.

Yep. Not going to happen though. They've got some odd reasoning going on over there. Do they also play Gary Glitter at their pep rallies?

I've been there. You're like a weekend motorcycle gang of tattooed accountants up there. Your team is screwed, and the mythology is a bust. Get over it.

JoePa looked into his own internal abyss (Sandusky arrested in '98 or '01, Penn State dragged through the mud, him OUT due to lack of institutional control) and blinked. If I were Penn State, that statue's coming down.

That's fair. That, DTRT, Son of Sam, She's Gotta Have It would be my mini-festival.

An insightful, well reasoned piece gets a thoughtless, witless reply. That's also Spike Lee in a nutshell. My own ten cents: Spike, not unlike Public Enemy, aimed at the crossover part of the American Venn diagram. That's thin ice commercially. Spike is a brave, occasionally honest filmmaker, who if he was smart would…
