Re: Joe Pa near death?

Just heard this on ESPN. I kinda had a feeling it would happen once he lost his job. Sad...

Re: Joe Pa has passed away

BTN just reported live that Joe Pa is in fact still alive and that reports of his death are not true.

Re: Joe Pa near death?

I just had a friend of mine post:

Someone should have followed Paterno's lead and "not reported anything".

Was in Tim Horton's tonight with my fiancee and she was reading on facebook that Paterno had passed. Thought it was odd that ESPN was the only one not reporting he had passed. Now I see why.

Re: Joe Pa near death?

CBSsports was its typical self. They posted this news on their website as if they broke the news themselves, referencing no sources. But as soon as it turns out it's erroneous, they post a source. Typical, low class crap from them if you ask me.
