Paterno walks on water and could have done whatever he wanted and gotten praise from all corners. He chose to do something repugnant and deserves whatever criticism he gets. He chose cronyism over what was right. It was a black and white call and he ****ed up!

He had/has no boss at Penn State, he was the boss. The boss comment is just an excuse to wiggle out from under the responsibility.
