    Unlike Mr. Reed, I have read Joe Posnanski’s book. Reed has just picked up a few tidbits from other reviews (and most of the other reviewers have not read the book, either) and recycled them. In fact, Posnanski was asked to write this book several years ago and has had real, as opposed to fantasy, access to Paterno’s papers and his family. The book does not “ignore the scandal,” in fact it gives it too much space, it simply tries to tell the story of a great football coach and a good and great man (with fewer flaws, I’ll bet, than Jason Reed) who stayed at his job too long. It’s a shame that print space is given over to reviewers who don’t read.
