I was listening to a conservative radio show out of Boston and two callers brought up a couple of interesting points about Joe Paterno.
The first is that Paterno, despite looking like he knew about Sandusky's monstrous actions, stuck around simply to win his 409th game making him the winningest coach in college football history. It's a worthless statistic now.
The second point, one that was more philosophical, brought up was Paterno's Italian ancestry and Catholic background. Specifically, the question about whether or not what happened and his inaction to report it - as one person said, Paterno was 'God on campus' - would impact his conscience.
I think without question the day he made that decision it did. Ambition simply got the better of him?
