The attempt to rehabilitate Joe Paterno’s legacy was the main topic on sports talk radio and television Monday as the Paterno family responds to the Freeh report on the Penn State abuse scandal. Joe Paterno’s widow Sue appeared on Katie Couric’s talk show while son Jay Paterno appeared on ESPN and is scheduled to go on Bruce Murray’s sports talk show on Sirius/XM’s Mad Dog Channel at 1:00 p.m. today.
Bob Dvorchak, who wrote the book “Game Change” last spring and has been our go to guy on the subject on my radio show joined Don Henderson and myself last night (Monday) to provide some insight into what the Paterno family’s goal is and what to expect next. The podcast can be heard by clicking here.
