Paterno: Bowman won’t miss playing time in 2009 – pennlive.com
Navarro Bowman won’t be penalized for smoking pot at the end of last year:
“He’s OK,” Paterno said of Bowman. “He had a heckuva good semester academically, that was the one thing I did tell him. I said, ‘If you don’t do well academically, then you got two problems. You’ve got a problem with the fact that you’ve gotta do your community service [too].’ So I think he’s OK.”
Bowman lost both his father and high school football coach in last year which is probably why Paterno went soft on him. I advise Bowman to find another way to grieve if he wants to stay out of the doghouse — perhaps doing all of that community service.
