My outline- Joe Paterno!
1- the time i met Joe Paterno on the sidelines of the Penn State - Iowa game. cameras, media, fans. paint the picture with dialogue.
2- "I fucking hate the Yankees! I grew up in Brooklyn and i cant stand them."
ending quote.
3- nut graph- Joe's way is the right way in his eyes. the way he interacts with people with confidence and belief. his personality
4-back round, Joe's accomplishments as a player and coach. his godly like being in state college, at penn state and in college sports.
5- todd kula's Quote when he was fired due to Joe's anger-(ahaha funny quote). how this demonstrates joes personality and enthusahim to win games.
6- Omar easy's quote about playing for joe and working for him. some of the things you have to expect when doing either of the two.
7- students quotes and some things they have heard from Joe or been yelled at by Joe. this will further strenthen my point.
8- Joes passionate persionality and care for the game he pretty much made his. his fiesty way of talking to people but getting people to respect it is something to admire.

ReplyDeleteI like where you are headed with this story. I think your opening quote is very illustrative: it gives us a very "real" side of Joe as this gruff, no nonsense kind of guy that speaks his mind and doesn't care if he hurts someone's feelings.
This is a pretty bear bones outline -- but I can see it working from here and hope you execute it accordingly. good luck!
