Joe Paterno Profiled in the New Sports Illustrated
October 21, 2009 at 9:00 am Ryan Jones 4 comments
The new issue of Sports Illustrated is out today, and while most of the issue is focused on previewing the coming NBA season — new teammates LeBron James and Shaquille O’Neal are featured on the cover — there’s a feature inside that Penn State football fans won’t want to miss. Written by veteran sportswriter Joe Posnanski, “Top of the World, Pa!” profiles Joe Paterno in the form of a letter to his late father, Angelo. It’s loaded with great stories and anecdotes. You can read it online here, but both for the photos and posterity’s sake, the actual issue is a keeper.
