    Well I guess props to ESPN for not reporting the story until it was confirmed seems logical esp. in a death.....

    A shame the scandal happened to taint what was seemingly a very quality life and career

    Crazy when you get older how fast your health can diminish when your whole world comes crashing down. Regardless of what he did or didn't do, sad day

    It wasn't headline, but it was in the college football section of the site.

    Terrible that he has to go out like this, but he should have done more to protect those kids and worry less about his legacy.

    What is awaiting him in prison is probably worse than what's happening to Paterno.

    Right?? As if an 85-year old undergoing cancer treatments is having complications? These treatments aren't harmless, folks.
