After Venom, Mostly Pleasantries for Paterno

A week after SI.com readers started submitting questions -- many of which were mean-spirited (and that's a fair assessment) -- editors for the site selected nine they thought were worthy to ask Penn State assistant football coach Jay Paterno.

The resulting interview, taped earlier this week as part of SI.com's Just Askin' series, runs nearly 15 minutes based on those questions.

One questioner even asks Paterno why he thinks some fans are so tough on him. Another asks about his efforts outside coaching and his political work.
