Well geeze, the guy is 200 years old.
Right. Put out there to try and make it through Saturday. The trustees should can him today.
Sad end to a historic career. Tarnished after 46 years. The team and the university will not be the same. Joe Paterno was to go out on top. This certainly is not a celebration. The team and the school has fallen.
I wonder if the NCAA or the investigators will demand further disciplinary action against Penn State.
Looks like there’s even worse that Spanier and the trustees want to hide. And that in addition to aiding and abetting a pedophile, Paterno’s all for a good ol’ fashioned spot of blackmail.
So, it’s clear he needs to go because of his proximity to these crimes....but HOLDER....no, he should STAY.
Makes e physically ill...the hypocrisy. See my tagline.
Sorry to see you go Joe, but you really should have done the right thing 10 years ago. Now you will have to live with your actions, or inaction as it were.

Can’t fire him before the bowl game. /s
Morally complicit in the crime of child molestation.
He has to go immediately.
Like he had a choice. I get the feeling if Penn State wasn’t in the thick of the Big Ten race, he would have been gone earlier.
There's a lot of morally-confused students at Penn State. The rally at JoePa's house was about as appropriate as the OWS movement. They don't know what they are celebrating if they chose this particular moment for that rally. Not unique to PSU. Campus speech-codes and a general lack of standards throughout the US education were the fertile ground for this spectacle.
I doubt that JoePa will last the week. IMO, No way he lasts to the end of the season
I’m a little fuzzy on Joe Pa’s role in this.
As far as I know, someone came to Joe with a rumor. Joe immediately went to his superior. Is Joe supposed to be all knowing? Isn’t it possible that Joe thought it was handled and the rumors are false. You know, they’re trying to use the same mentality on Herman Cain. It’s not the truth, but the seriousness of the charges that’s driving things.
He had a good 10 years left in the tank.
Five will get you ten that he is gone within a week...he will NEVER make it to the end of the season.
And what of Spainer who participated in the cover-up?
That’s what he gets for passing the buck. Supposedly the Grad Student was very specific as to what was happening. Paterno should have called the Cops right then and there. NO excuse will suffice.
He seemed confused and befuddled when they talked to him about this last night. That’s the only slack I am willing to cut him over this. Perhaps he’s been slipping for years and the university has been covering for him.
I have to ask, if more than one person witnessed this crime taking place why did no one kick the living crap out of this pervert? I sure as hell would have.
Penn State is not serious about the enormity of what they have done. They will never recover from this. Jo Pa absolutely knew a child rapist worked for him and continued to rape children afterward. He and the entire creepy PSU admin covered it up and enabled it.
Mind boggling. Who witnesses an assraping of a ten year old boy and runs away? There is no hell deep enough.
