Joe Paterno

It's a shame that such a storied career and life were tainted at the very end by heinous scandal. Still, we must live with what we do, and what we fail to do. RIP.

Joe Paterno dies

Just saw this news elsewhere.

All I can say is, that was quick.

He sure screwed up his epitaph.

Reports of Joe Paterno's death refuted by family

Penn State student website Onward State has reported that Penn State players were notified of longtime head coach Joe Paterno's passing via email, and CBSSports.com went on this report. Paterno, 85, had been receiving chemotherapy as part of his treatment for lung cancer.

However, Paterno family spokesperson Dan McGinn told a New York Times reporter that the report of Paterno's demise is "absolutely not true," and Jay Paterno tweeted that his father "continues to fight." Onward State has since retracted their report.

"I'm not dead."
"What?"
"Nothing. There's your ninepence."
"Ere, he says he's not dead."
"Yes he is. "
"I'm not."
"He isn't?"
"Well, he will be soon, he's very ill."
"I'm getting better."
"No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment."
"Well, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations."
"I don't want to go on the cart."
"Oh, don't be such a baby."
