Former Penn State coach Paterno dies (AP)

Joe Paterno, a sainted figure at Penn State for almost half a century but scarred forever by the child sex abuse scandal that brought his career to a stunning end, died Sunday.

Happy Valley was perfect for Joe Paterno, a place where "JoePa" knew best, where he not only won more football games than any other major college coach, but won them the right way: with integrity and sportsmanship. A place where character came first, championships second. Behind it all, however, was an ugly secret that ran counter to everything the revered coach stood for.
