Hated to see this one.
…..Coach Paterno’s plan was clearly to work till he dropped, and I can appreciate that. I’m kind of worried about retirement and declining health in my distant future, too. I think work helps keep me healthy.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
R.I.P. Joe Paterno

It's a shame that his career will forever have an asterik...
Yes, he was a great football coach. In one unwise choice, he completely tarnished everything he worked so hard for.
God bless his family, and may God have mercy on his soul.
