While this blog is a Steelers Blog, I wanted to take a second and mention the passing of Joe Paterno. He was a college icon and despite the scandal, still is someone who deserves our respect. I believe he was completely railroaded during this circus at State College. I don’t agree with how he handled the situation but that doesn’t tarnish what he has done for 60 years.<\/p>\n
The media is a bunch of hypocrites and that is one of the reasons I started this blog.<\/p>\n
