Joe Paterno dies...

Probably. News networks getting ready to report his death if they can stop talking about Newt for five seconds.

Six months ago I probably would have made a big deal about this. Now? I'll silently say a prayer for his soul and move on.

Actually everyone is retracting on the death as of right now. Just in serious condition.

ECUpirate44 · Jan 21, 2012, 08:26 PM

Conflicting reports at this point.

Mac'nCheese · Jan 21, 2012, 09:21 PM

It looks like his status has been upgraded to serious.

Why does your title on the thread say Paterino? Did I miss something? Apparently he's still alive btw.

If only we could leave the sports figure news to ESPN, Yahoo!, CBSSports, etc. You know, like it usually is -- a breaking alert on Sports Center and a one line story side bar link on the news outlet of your choice. Except that's clearly not going to happen with JoePa...

Stupid media trying to get a social media/web traffic boost with premature and uninformed "sources."

The guy's gonna die in the next few hours or days, people need to back off a bit.
