    Is this the one on Netflix? 

    I found the outpouring of love toward Paterno that came from Penn State fans after the allegations very disturbing.

      You'd be surprised how many Americans will continue to love someone in power they support regardless of the avalanche of proof of how morally-bankrupt said person is.

      But no, it's not on Netflix, it's on HBO.

        Wow AL Pacino has come a long way since the Godfather.....

        Al Pacino‘s performance as legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno in the HBO original movie Paterno is awfully impressive. Here he is, playing a guy known for being essentially a pair of sunglasses and a windbreaker jacket for the last 10 years of his career at least, who coached into his mid-80s and whose career was cut short by a sex scandal involving one of his assistant coaches, Jerry Sandusky, who was accused or raping many young boys via his position as a coach and director of a youth camp. As the scandal quickly unfolded in the fall of 2011, Paterno soon became embroiled as he was accused of ignoring evidence and claims that the abuse was happening and either turning a blind eye towards it or enabling........

              The whole thing that freaks me out about that whole news.. Was how suddenly Paterno and his wife passed so suddenly afterword... Its almost uncanny..... Would love to read both autopsy reports on them.. I just find it too convenient.. They're deceased.

                  I was under the impression she passed away not long after Joe... I was unaware of the lung cancer.. The same thing took my father back in 08 COPD.

                      Rutherford B. Hayes?   He is the only guy I know that is close to being from anywhere near the name of Kenya.    He went to Kenyon College.

                          That would be his stepfather's name....but he was not adopted....as far as I know.

                          Which President  WAS born with a different name that was change after adoption?   As far as I know....there was just one.

                                      That would be his stepfather's name....but he was not adopted....as far as I know.

                                      But....trivia question:

                                      Which President  WAS born with a different name that was change after adoption?   As far as I know....there was just one.

                                      OK, yes, I see that.   So, actually.....there are at least two:    As  Gerald Ford was born Leslie King....and had his name changed after adoption,  similar to  Clinton.
