esjbh2 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Wow what a surprise. With the PS scandal seems he's been in the news a lot and didn't look too sick/bad. Edit: Hmmmmm....guess his health has been rapidly declining in the last couple weeks. RIP Joe. Legandary Coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDawgBengal Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 According to the family spokesman he has not passed away yet. I would guess it will come soon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Elflocko| Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Not surprised at all to be honest. I remember hearing\reading that one of the reasons he didn't want to retire was because he didn't want to end up like Bear Bryant who died only 4 weeks after retiring. Shitty way to go out though...

Haigin88 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 He was 85 years old. Not sure why the media is acting all surprised. Other media idiots are saying he died of a broken heart. No, fools it’s called cancer. For his legacy he died (or will die soon) at the right time. The same media idiots that trashed him will now say how great he was. It’s called the Nixon treatment. Frankly, I have trouble caring either way. He was a great man. But he was 85. All of us would love to live that long. More than 50% of us won’t.

thedaltonshow Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Yeah I heard that he was still alive, according to some reports on twitter...I'm not sure, though. ESPN still reports him as alive but in "serious condition." I can't help but think that this is one of those times when a man's spirit is broken, and his health declines because of that more than anything else.

Rumble In the Jungle Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 This just proves that stress at old age but any age can kill you. I no longer give a shit about anything. I quit letting things stress me out. Nothing is worth it. The easiest thing that can stress you out are women. FUCK EM. Non of them will do that to me again. DO NOT GET MARRIED FELLAS. Stay single and you'll live forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texbengal Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 RIP, coach. Condolences to his family. Between this loss, and the many allegations of wrongdoing that occurred over a long period of time in Happy Valley, the Penn State family has been hit with a lot of sadness over the last 3-4 months.

T.O.C.H.O SHOW Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 i heard brent musberger describe Joes lack of reporting pedolphilia as a "lack of judgement". Yea just conveniently not reporting this for 9 years was just lack of judgement. NO he was an enabler, his life should not be celebrated. I dont want to hear anymore about the positive impact he had on PSU and its players. Lets not forget the negative impact he had on so many families and friends b/c he enabled a child molester in his locker room. AND PLEASE stop calling him a man of integrity, hes not. He did not die of a broken heart, hes fucking 85 and had cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
