    I think this replaces the "how do I get Coach Cal's illicit emails" question as my favorite. We may need to make it a running thread.

    Ah, so JoPa -- a college football coach -- was equal in stature to the leader of a terrorist organization.

    Good to know.

    I'm not comparing them. Osama is worse. But Paterno covered up child rape. That's pretty shitty as well.

    I think a proper balance was struck here. Good job.

    Exactly. I'm all for holding the guy accountable for what he did, but let's show at least a tiny bit of class around here. Damn.
