I've have been asked repeatedly over the last few days if I was going to do a blog about the death of Joe Paterno. And frankly it is a subject that I have been hesitant to tackle. Mostly because I have not been able to decide what his legacy will be to me. After a few days of thinking about it, considering all factors, and even discussing it in our weekly podcast, I have finally made a little peace on the subject with myself.
Undoubtedly Paterno made a terrible mistake in his handling of the child sex abuse scandal involving his former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. But our lives are more than the mistakes we make and ultimately this man certainly did more good than bad with his time here on Earth.
That is how I will remember him. As a man who changed thousands of lives for the better.
R.I.P. Joe Pa.
