I think that this is one sad story. I had never heard of Joe Paterno until the Penn State Scandal because I am not a sports fan. He did so much good but he made a major mistake in how he handled the Jerry Sandusky situation. And that cost him in his later years and last months. It is certainly a blemish on his otherwise outstanding reputation. I wonder if the disgrace hastened his cancer and caused death earlier than might have occurred. I hope that he had a peaceful passing but he must have been very heavy hearted. Personally, I feel sad for him and his family. I hope that he can rest in peace.

Jerry Sandusky and Joe Paterno - Jerry and Joe in happier times
It sad what happen to this great coach, sorry to hear that his troubles hasten his demise. Coach Sandusky should rot in jail forever, for what he bought on the Penn state University and coach Joe Paterno.

I do not think that Coach Sandusky cares about the grief that he has brought to others. What about the boys who he molested? I feel sad for Coach Paterno. I hope that he is at peace and will rest in peace.

It is sad that it all had to end up this way for Joe. He had such a storied career and all that he most likely will be remembered for is his bad judgement regarding Jerry Sandusky. Granted, it was a huge mistake on his part, but I don't think that it should put such a huge cloud over his accomplishments through the years.
