NJTank Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 RIP Joe Pa. The job kept him alive and the way it ended was a shame. It was not cancer that killed him. It was a broken heart. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Some people on Facebook seemed to be shocked that an 85-year old guy is about to take a dirt nap.Really?You seem shocked that people on Facebook aren't capable of having rational thoughts.I don't know how I'll remember Paterno. College football seems oh so small when compared to real life issues that he was involved in. I hope he at least tells his family what happened with Sandusky.

NEW.ERA Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 RIP Joe Pa. Yeah, the scandal really hurt his image a ton. But he's was still a fantastic coach and that's what he should be remembered for, but we all know that won't happen.

njmeadowlanders Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Always seems that when someone really old stops working/loses a spouse/etc. that they die shortly thereafter.I didn't care about college football before I got to Penn State, I haven't cared about it since I left. I'm not going to get into the whole abuse thing again now either (yes, they should've fired him no doubt).But thanks for 4 pretty fun years JoePa. RIP.

dfwabel Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Too bad Joe Pa never got a real chance to explain himself other than that Newspaper interview.1-He explained himself to the fourth Grand Jury. Further research may tell us if he met with the prior three which investigated Sandusky.2- Paterno's people, based in D.C. contacted Sally Jenkins for the interview.<a name="How-did-you-lan">How did you land the interview? So many reporters/newspapers out there...how did the interview come to be? Did you contact the Paternos, or did they call you? Any idea why the Paternos selected you and the WP for the exclusive? Did you find him honest and believable? Sally Jenkins : I was contacted by a representative for Paterno who said Paterno wanted to go public with someone and would we want the interview, given certain conditions. He didn't want to go on television, as he doesn't look great or sound great, and also the chemo affects his ability to be fully lucid at times. The conditions were that his lawyer be present, since he's a witness in an ongoing criminal trial, which, after discussing it with my editors, we agreed to. This next part answers a question from above: I wrote a column back in November about "acquaintance molesters" in which I interviewed an FBI profiler named Ken Lanning who outlined how a molester is able to embed himself so deeply in the community and become so trusted. My understanding is that Paterno felt it was more reasonable than some things had been written, which is why he gave me the interview. Which may be one way of saying they took me for a patsy. At any rate, we jumped at the interview, as everyone wants to know what Paterno has to say about this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I really hope that his victims can sue the estate.

Gothamite Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Yep. His legacy will always be that he looked the other way, and did the absolute minimum possible, after he knew that his pal was raping kids. What a Paterno. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!
