Did anyone else watch this on HBO? Interesting story, made Paterno look like the scumbag that he was. That he knew the entire time but basically brushed it off and couldn’t be bothered with it bc all he cared about was football and his legacy. Wondered what anyone else’s take on it.

Just watched it and the only thing I would add is that the movie's angle is he had suppressed the memories of Sandusky's behavior that allegedly began in the late 1970's. The reaction of his family members as more details came out showed even they were surprised at how little he did to sound the alarm. He ended up having regrets that he didn't do more to stop it.
