No, I won't. Thought he was strange regardless of Sandusky. Hell, I didn't watch any of the Bear Bryant movies.

From Scarface to Paterno...about right

Too soon for a movie but hollywood wants to cash in.

No......

just.....no.

Hollywood will turn a guy who turned a blind eye to child molestation allegations into a sympathetic figure, I'm sure.

The movie is to be based on the book Paterno written by UNC Charlotte alumnus and 2012 National Sportswriter of the Year Joe Posnanski.

A book that's been described as largely sympathetic by the NYT, Deadspin, etc.

I don't know, easy to adapt certain lines from Godfather 3:

"Everytime I tried to pull out, I put it back in."
