Guess this is the green thread. Breaking rumor is that he was taken off the ventilator and family has been called in. No confirmation on that, though several news agencies are now reporting it.

i hope you haters are happy.

...as well as TFA, which I should have R'd before bothering to make that C.

Obtuse_Otter: You ain't getting away that easy, bub.

Shut up.

Woohoo! Go Hawkeyes!

Johnny Savage: It's rare that the actions of a man on one particular event can overshadow the entirety of his life. This is one of those times.

I'm normally compassionate with people on their death beds. I feel like I have no right to judge another man. That being said... fark you, Joe, for not protecting those who couldn't protect themselves.

That's pretty much my opinion as well. I'm not happy that he's possibly about to die, though he's old enough it's not a shocker. I'm not going to deny that he was a legend, and defined an entire college football program, he did. But he also knew what was going on, and while not actively participating, he put his fingers in his ears and muttered "lalalalalla this never happened, I didn't hear that" while children were being raped. So... meh, I guess.

CapnBlues: i hope you haters are happy.

Yup, thanks for asking.

Sick, tasteless headline, Submitter.

I admire your style.

/*golf clap*

is this enough? or do they have to bulldoze the university and revoke every degree ever granted?

when is it enough?

Woo, cheering the death of a man who did nothing wrong.

EyeballKid: GAT_00: Woo, cheering the death of a man who did nothing wrong.

There's a difference, you know, between doing nothing wrong and doing nothing.

He didn't do nothing. He reported it as soon as he found out. Despite what so many people decided, JoePa isn't the police and doesn't have the right prosecute people. Blame the police, not the man who did his job. Of course, people wanted another villain, so he was made into one.

Joepa: Hey campus police, I hear some kids are being raped. Wanna check into that?
Campus police: Sure.
Joepa: Ahhh.. Mission accomplished.

Weeks later.

Joepa: I wonder what ever happened with that. Oh well, I'm sure it worked itself out.

Sorry, but no. He gets no pass on this. He knew, he could have stopped it and he didn't. He passed the buck and wiped his hands of the whole matter. As a result of his inaction, more kids were probably raped.

I don't know how he sleeps at night.

This whole PSU thing is great for bringing the trolls out of the woodwork. 'Cause you know, pissing on a dying man is the path to perfect karma and all....

\the system will still be there after JoePa is resting in the clouds above Mount Nittany, and until the money dries up it's never going away

Or doing everything right and having it hushed up anyway by the local authorities.


Was Joe supposed to hulk out and attack a man thirty years his junior over half mumbled allegations that were already reported to the authorities?

JasonOfOrillia: Died of cancer or a broken heart?

Lost the will to fight it.

velvet_fog: nekom: I don't know how he sleeps at night.

Sounds like he won't have to worry about that in a few more days.

From the sounds of it, he'll be sleeping underground soon. I don't revel in that, and I do pity his family and friends. But I can't excuse his actions, or rather inactions. It takes forever to build a legacy, but not that long to destroy one.

AdmirableSnackbar: People who are happy about Joe Paterno's health are misguided to say the least.

Damn straight. I mean Obtuse Marmot over there for one doesn't even know who he's supposed to be angry at.

Foolish naive amateur.

EEEEEEEEHHHHH I NEVAH HEARD OF DEATH AND A MAN EEEEEH SPEAK UP SONNY I CAN'T HEAR YAAAAAAA

/B&B is gonna be some HOF-worthy radio Monday afternoon.

When the football program is given an SMU x 2 penalty and Sandusky is sent to PMITA federal prison where his new girlfriend is bigger than the players he coached and rougher than he was with the 10 year old boys. Bareback and no lube.

Coffee Snob: I submitted this with a better headline.

What was it? We have the smart/funny buttons now, we can put it to a vote.
