In summary, the article says "PSU sucks, Paterno sucks, but hey, the football team is good again"

No, but I enjoy playing rounds of golf at the Waynesboro Country Club outside Philly...

Save your clicks, it is simply tripe. When I read "Paterno likely died from a stress-induced paralysis brought on by his overwhelming urge to get something off his chest.", I wondered how the papers reporting his cause of death as lung cancer could have all been wrong.

You forgot to critique the news rag

Gotta love this quote:

"It’s arguable that football got too big on campus. Now, perhaps, it’s where it should be. The program has been cut down to size..."

Guess the writer hasn't looked at the numbers, which tell a vastly different story.

No need to post total crap like this.....no need at all.

I predict this writer dies of a new strain of farm animal STD.

Lol, football is probably bigger than it's ever been, bringing in tons more money due to television, and revenue from licensing. But they're having sex with bassett hounds up at michigan state, and raping hundreds and hundreds of athletes, but that's neither here nor there.

Turns out Lee Goodwin (I did Google him) is 55 years old, and not some tool bag 20-something who swags Look at me! I'm over 21! I'm all grown up!

So he's an older toolbag. Coulda guessed that from the mention of his grandkid in the column.

Sorry, skimmed over it. Didn’t notice he said that.

Column writing is difficult. Very few journalists have the ability to pull it off. This guy doesn't have what it takes.
Not sure what he was trying to accomplish with this piece (beside filling column inches). Jibberish here, jibberish there. Poorly written with no real purpose. An editor should have handed it back with instructions to try again. Or, better yet, give it up and stick to your strengths.

Does anyone read the Waynesboro newspaper?

Yes, there is Chuckie Marinko and his wife Babs (lovely woman); Nester Sylvester, Sammy Whitson, Annabelle Jones, James Wilmore, Roberta Andrews, Tony and Betty Jackson (married 60 years), Walter Smitson, Jack Bailey, Carmella Anderson (recently widowed), the entire 6 member Amberson family, Willie Wintin, Jefferson Thompson, Elvita Jaspers, Jake Denniston, and Carly Waverly. I think that's everyone, but I may have missed one or two.

Don't forget the Farkle family, related, once-removed, from the Duchess of Sussex.

Ah, you are correct. They have been subscribers since 92', I think.
