Paterno, Sandusky, Armstrong.

In 2011, all 3 of these individuals were regarded with esteem. All would go down in the history books as some of the most gifted in their respective sports.

Now, they are all proven to be tainted, with their legacies scrubbed clean.

It couldn't happen to a better bunch of losers.
