Some respect for JoePa

In his Cavalcade of Whimsy this week, CollegeFootballNews.com writer Pete Fiutak wrote about media and fans piling on Charlie Weis. Fiutak somewhat defended Weis' decision to negotiate for a huge contract extension, which eventually (as we all know) worked. But in his argument, saying how pretty much anyone would do what Weis did, he there in this quote:

"With the possible exception of Joe Paterno, there's not a coach in the history of the planet who wouldn't take advantage of the situation that Weis was in to get more money. That's not questionable character; that's good business."

That's actually the first time in, well, forever that I've heard an unnecessary complement about Joe Paterno by the Media. Thanks CFN.
