[Live Blog] Twitter Reacts To ‘The Paterno Legacy’
Earlier this month, ESPN released a trailer for a new E60 documentary about Joe Paterno’s legacy. Now, “The Paterno Legacy” is here.
While Onward State already got its hands on a screener cut of the documentary last week, it’s time for the general public to see for itself how Paterno is portrayed. With that, many will likely take to Twitter to express their opinions throughout.
We won’t be live blogging the actual documentary tonight, but instead your Twitter reactions as they roll in.
9:03 p.m. — That’ll do it for ESPN’s “The Paterno Legacy.” Thanks for following along, folks!

I didn’t realize there was an off-campus memorial for joe paterno hidden on Fraser St. in state college and it just…seems weird to me. Idk how to explain my feelings about it.

(@HuugeSportsGuy) It is very strange watching “the paterno legacy” as someone who was at penn state at the time and saw it all unfold.

it’s even stranger knowing the 10-year mark of the sandusky sentencing is coming up.
