Book Mentioned:

Paterno by Joe Posnanski

Mentioned, certainly, but not recommended.

I read the book for you.

Posnanski is a well-regarded baseball writer in those “official” circles, but his cowardice and/or plumb stupidity is revealed by the time one finishes this biography.

The author buys the official narrative. He’s hooked by the nonsense ESPN and others peddled—hook, line, sinker.

If you want to know about the early years of Paterno, take this book out at the library. It’s decent enough for that perspective.
