SCOTT JACOBS

Since 1950 Joe Paterno has manned the sidelines for Penn State. For 46 years he has been the Nittany Lions head coach. On Wednesday Night a phone call changed everything. When a press conference was held to make it official it sent the sports world into a feeding frenzy, and State College into disbelief and disarray. Was this the right decision and was this the right time? Could Penn State have gone about this a different way? Should JoePa be fired over something that was a matter of ethics and not law? Juiced Sports Radio breaks down all the sadness going on in a once Happy Valley.

Also, if this happened in a bigger city, would the reaction have still been this extreme to JoePa’s firing?

It’s a sick situation and an outcome where no one wins. It’s a story that goes beyond sports and breaks into news. And it’s a long way from being fully resolved.
