Edit: Why the hell am I getting downvotes? I said he was dead because CBS Sports reported he was dead. I didn't realize that they were wrong...

Fuck. I knew this was coming
Fuck. I knew this was coming but this sucks. Great coach, good human, one terrible mistake. Best wishes to his family
One terrible mistake
that spanned more than a decade and led to incalcuable pain for dozens of people.
I know he did a lot of very good things, and I know respect for the dead and all that,but we shouldn't minimize the enormity of his "mistake" just because he's passed away. It's as much a part of his legacy (if not moreso), than all the unquestionably good things he did.
There is no time, sir, at which ties do not matter.
To say that one specific
To say that one specific non-criminal act more than outweighs 46 years of coaching is simply the most absurd thing I've heard in a long time.
I find it equally absurd
to describe it as one specific act. It was over a decade of not saying anything, and the thing he was not saying anything about was the molestation of children.
To me, that outweighs a whole hell of a lot.
There is no time, sir, at which ties do not matter.
We don't have to honor him
But could we not criticize a man as he's dying?

Let's be honest
Let's be honest here...........
The boys Sandusky chose were ones who would have otherwise been orphans with terrible quality of life. It's not like he was plucking these kids from prep schools on the east coast. There is an argument to be made that he was actually helping them out.
This is the kind of throwaway
This is the kind of throwaway account mgb needs more of.
the crowds on the shore will always yell "Let's Go Blue."
People close to him said he
People close to him said he was afraid of quitting because he thought if he didn't have coaching to live for he might die. Sad to see that seems possibly true.
I've been called the songbird of my generation, by those who have heard me. THAT GOOD
I choose to remember Joe
I choose to remember Joe Paterno for the small, dumpy agricultural college in the middle of nowhere that he turned into a major research university drawing 100,000 people for a football game, the countless lives he touched, the players he molded, and the family he raised.
There is a time and place to rehash the tragedy of Jerry Sandusky and his role within it, but this isn't it.
I very strongly disagree with this
The Sandusky tragedy needs to be discussed along with the rest of Paterno's legacy over the coming weeks and months. To do anything else does a disservice to those still living with the pain of the incidents.
There is no time, sir, at which ties do not matter.

This news really upset me. He has been coaching since day one of most of our lives. Sad sad way to go out. I will always respect him and look back on the goods and not this last year. Poor old guy.
It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.
RIP Joe

God yelled at him to come to heaven the exact way he yelled "come to Penn State!!" in those Big 10 commercials. He is a legend.

That really stinks. I had no idea at the time, but I saw his final game as PSU's coach against Illinois. It was an amazing game in a weird October snowstorm. What JoePa did for Penn State was nothing less than amazing. He will be missed by all of college football.

He made one mistake.
He made one mistake. Yes, he should have gone to the cops, and he'll forever be tarnished by the incident for all time. We'll always associate him with Sandusky, and the PSU scandal, forever. But don't let that detract you from his coaching prowess, or the fact that he was a worthy adversary in the Big 10 for a prolonged period of time. He was an iconic coach, brought down by a scandal that he indirectly partook in.
RIP Joe.
I don't really know what to say.
Tragic day for college football.
We hate Michigan State. We don't like Penn State too. We don't care for Minnesota, Wisconsin or Notre Dame but we all hate O-S-U.

What a loss
Regardless of what happened in his later life, which I'm certain he regretted deeply, he was a good man. He turned a lot of guys into greta members of their communities. There are a lot of people whom I respect, that swear by Coach Paterno. You're remembered by the things you leave behind in those you knew. If that's the case, Joe leaves behind a great legacy of 4 decades of bringing in 18 year kids, and graduating men, who went on to do great things.
normally i'd agree...
...that one mistake shouldn't overshadow a lifetime of good deeds, but when that one mistake is letting your defensive coordinator get away with molesting and raping innocent children under your roof for at least a decade, I have zero respect for the man. His lungs may be failing him now, but nowhere close to how badly he failed those kids.

Your memory will never be forgotten. thank you for your dedication to the sport we love so much. May God bless your soul, give peace and confort to your family, and forgive you for all your sins.
