Joe Paterno dies...

[Mac'nCheese]

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

 

[grapes911]

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.

 

[GroundLoop]

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

Conflicting reports at this point.

 

[Mac'nCheese]

It looks like his status has been upgraded to serious.

Obligatory Simpsons:

"Mr. Burns was admitted to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. He was then transferred to a better hospital where his condition was upgraded to alive"

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.

Must of had nothing else to live for. I feel bad that he went this way with just being fired. Not commending his actions by any means- but still.

 

[MacNut]

Not sure if I should say RIP or you ducked out on answering all of the questions everyone had for you.

 

[whoathere]

Obviously, you hate to see someone die. But, I was sick of how the entire state of PA worshipped this ass clown.
