a vindictive and typically snide takedown on Joe Paterno.
I can imagine pissing on a grave will reach Olympian Proportions there by the time college football season kicks off

There has been less than I thought. That this writer/radio guy advocated nuking the program entirely for 2-3 years last week was no surprise. It’s part of his MO as bomb-thrower to make semi-outrageous proclamations in order to stir up callers. (For example he wrote partway through last football season that he wanted the Eagles to lose their last 5-6 games so that they would then fire their head coach.)

So that he wrote this column was not that surprising. That most of it revolved around “I’m glad something finally took down this cranky and arrogant bully that noone would face” was surprising. And some pathetic glee was Paterno was now “an average Joe” and no longer the coach with the most wins was pretty stupid. That part of the NCAA penalty was pure window dressing, only impressive to stat wonks and people riding band wagons.
