ESPN hasn't broke the story, so it didn't happen yet.

Events don't take place unless ESPN covers them.
 
There seems to be some discussion about the accuracy of this.

There is, however, no question that he is nearing the end of his life. If the end has not yet come, it will almost certainly be soon.

Though the way his career ended is lamentable, his contribution to the sport is indisputable, and he deserves some respect.

You have an oblong shaped head.

That is all.

It's official now. RIP. A great football coach. A great legacy.
 
It's sad he left his program in a way that is about as bad as it gets and his legacy will be forever tarnished deservingly because of it. It's a good lesson for other people in positions of authority like he was. When bad things the magnitude of what happened in his program occur you don't sit around and do as little as possible when you are in a position to make a difference.

Mike McQueary now has free reign to burn Jerry Sandusky at the stake at trial. How bad do you think McQueary is going to torch Paterno now that he's dead?

A family spokesperson confirmed to the Associated Press that Joseph Vincent Paterno has died at a State College hospital at the age of 85, just over two months after being diagnosed with a form of lung cancer.
Very Very Sad News, at Penn ST, Coach Joe was just light and inspiration of the university and State College Area. My Penn State Shirt will be warn today with great sadness in his passing.

Many of us said when he stopped coaching he would soon pass, so as wrong as it maybe, I blame Sandusky, for his death.

RIP Coach Paterno
