Paterno would be in federal prison. - @Saturday, July 28, 2018 8:54 PM

Al Pacino's performance in Paterno was riveting. Now with Scorcese and Tarantino films coming in 2019 can this be called a comeback? - @Saturday, June 23, 2018 4:25 PM

I wonder if all those PSU Students who protested against Paternos firing, who demanded the statue be returned and who completely ignored the victims and scorned those who did the RIGHT thing, I wonder how many of them, being parents now, would act the same? The PSU alum who were protesting and supported Paterno, should be ashamed. They ignored a child sex scandal to keep a statue and some football records. Hope you sleep well. - @Thursday, May 17, 2018 3:00 AM

Hope is rotting in hell and Sandusky can join him later when he dies in prison - @Monday, April 16, 2018 10:00 PM

Well college football players are dumb rednecks playing for below average intelligence fans. What do you expect. Al Pachino is awesome. - @Saturday, April 14, 2018 9:08 PM

I watched this last night on HBO. Well done film! They made Al Pacino look exactly like him! I have been to PSU. My older sister graduated from there years ago. Its too bad that this issue will be put a dark cloud over the college! - @Monday, April 9, 2018 1:27 AM

What really boggles my mind and sometimes ticks me off....People are more up in arms over grown women hollering "me too"...But when young boys were saying "me too" for the last thirty years, nobody gave a shit. Even now, I see less outrage over Penn State then over grown women being sexually assaulted. This University should NO LONGER HAVE A FOOTBALL PROGRAM....PERIOD. "Why punish the players and fans...they didn't do anything?" SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH THAT STUPID ASS LOGIC. By that dumb logic, if I go out and commit capital murder, don't put me in jail for the rest of my life because after all, why punish my Wife and 5 year old Daughter, they didn't do anything...Why leave them without a husband and Father? The answer to that question is...The Father should have thought of that before he committed murder. SO...The University's Football program and Athletic Department should have thought of the fans and the players before they COVERED UP SANDUSKY RAPING LITTLE BOYS FOR YEARS. FUCK Penn State. And fuck anybody complaining about this movie only showing this part of Paterno's life. O.J. Simpson did a lot more than just kill his Wife and her friend. BUT THAT is what we will remember him for. Even then, folks get mad at O.J. much more passionately than they do Paterno. Like it or not, he knew. He's just as guilty as Sandusky. PERIOD. - @Tuesday, February 13, 2018 6:33 PM

Pacino was smart enough to not ruin his career like DeNiro did. I can't even watch a RD movie without seeing him as a piss pants crybaby liberal. - @Friday, February 9, 2018 12:31 PM
