Incredibly unfortunate timing for our own Joe Posnanski

So the bad news was that we lost sportswriter Joe Posnanski to the larger world some time ago. That was too bad.

The good thing was that, for him, he was going out into a far bigger, greener, hopefully yet more successful world in which he could excel.

He began a book. It was to be released about now. Surely it would have been good to very good to maybe even great.

The unfortunate subject--and timing--however?

Penn State football coack Joe Paterno.

This from The New York Times this past Sunday:

In ‘Paterno,’ Bad Timing for a Book

Ouch.

That's gotta' hurt.
