The "disappearing" of Joe Paterno proceeds apace, like he’s one of those suddenly out-of-favor Communist leaders who gets airbrushed out of the May Day parade-review photos. The Big Ten just removed his name from its conference championship trophy; no time to do it properly, so Jim Delaney had to use a key to scratch the P into a B. Meantime, Penn State is now claiming that “Joe Paterno” wasn’t actually the coach, or even a real person; he was an inflatable mascot costume – a la Lil Red – worn by a student.
