In the second half of the New England-Baltimore game, the announcers made a brief statement that Paterno died. There was very little if any praise, just a passing note about his death. But do you remember the accolades John Wooden got when he passed? Paterno was in his own right a legend the equal of Wooden, but he is not going to get the same praise. His was a moral failing; he knew that if he took this story to the right authorities, the football program might go down, which is of course the university's major cash cow. Who knows, maybe he wanted to do more and was pressured not to. A lot of new information will come to light soon.
