The Case for Joepa - Part One

It seems ridiculous that anyone would need to come to the defense of a college football icon like Joe Paterno. But alas, today we live in a "sports talk" society. One where every Ya-hoo with a microphone and a transmitter feels the need to spout off their ever-changing hot & cold opinions. One week, "such and such team" looks unbeatable, a shoe-in for the Super Bowl. The next week, they are a collection of bums who should all be cut, dragged into the street and mocked by passers-by. But I digress...

Every once in a great while I will find a column or article that echoes my sentiments. (Although I have to admit these days they are becoming few and far between. ) Here's a great one from the NY Times about JoePa's recent success on the recruiting trail. Enjoy and "Fight on State!"...
