FiddySicks Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 RIP JoePa. Sucks it all had to go so wrong in the end, but he brought it on himself. Loved the guy as a coach, but hated the poor decisions he made. Hopefully JoePa isn't remembered for either solely the scandal or for his coaching, but rather as a lesson to everyone about the importance of integrity and moral responsibility, no matter your position in life. Anything else really isn't necessary (at least today). On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

Eye Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Interestingly enough, a friend of mine said that when the news broke about Sandusky that it will kill Paterno. I don't know if it did or not, but adios, douchebag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Wow, I didn't think he would go this soon.Remember the family did not go public with his cancer until Nov. 20. As a result, we really don't know how long he was getting treatment or how serious it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSox44 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Wow, I didn't think he would go this soon.He had cancer. And was 85 years old.What, did you think JoePa was going to live to see 100? Come on man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Damn, I hate to break up a good round of "thoughts and prayers", but maybe we should wait until Paterno actually dies before we bury him. (Then again, in hindsight, maybe we didn't bury him soon enough.)Anyway, as far as I can tell, dude isn't dead...yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Wow, I didn't think he would go this soon.He had cancer. And was 85 years old.What, did you think JoePa was going to live to see 100? Come on man.I'm sure it's in relation to how quickly this has come after being fired.46 years at Penn State, then (in all likelihood) dies about four months after being fired.

rams80 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.It's the American way.

Gothamite Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Thank you, Sherry Bobbins. Rot in hell, Parerno. I am glad we learned what you really were before you died and not after, so we didn't have to endure countless gushing speeches about character in tributes to a man wholly unworthy of them.

Punch Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 ESPN is reporting he died. They are also blatantly ignoring the whole "I enabled a child rapist" thing and painting him as a God.EDIT - The Paterno family's statement on his death is nauseating. Great man, honest, only thought of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCDuck Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I think it's truly unfortunate that you all let the man's inaction on one occasion cloud your judgment of what he did for the town of State College and for the University. Before JoePa arrived, Penn State was a second-tier agricultural school. Now they are an AAU Member Institution and a renowned research university. Much of that can be attributed by the rise of the football program along with the academic standards of integrity that Paterno held his players to.Regardless of what you think about JoePa's inaction during the Sandusky travesty, at least let the man have some peace in his death.

Sodboy13 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 A good football coach will tell you that the true measure of a man goes far beyond his wins and losses on the field of play. A good person actually lives to that sort of standard.Don't speak to me of integrity when it comes to a man who to his time when it came to reporting child rape in his domain because he "didn't want to ruin someone's weekend."Joe Paterno was a very good football coach. Many bits of information which have snuck out of the Happy Valley bubble since the scandal broke indicate he was not a very good person. Which of those you feel is more important says quite a bit about you.
