Say what you will about the Scandal (I think he was SOOO wrong and his dismissal was justified IMO) ... BUT

I'm praying for ya Joe and hope you beat it.
STAY HEALTHY!

    Treatable lung cancer according to his son. Joe Pa has had a bad couple of weeks. I wish him well with his cancer. MJ

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Read something about JoePA "selling" /giving his wife their home for $1.00 - people were saying it was because he knew about the sex scandle. I thought that was BS. It makes sense now with him having cancer. He was getting his "ducks in order" if you will.

    Good luck to you Joe Pa

    Sounds like they are indeed looking for some sympathy swaying out of this, here is a quote from his son...




    "As everyone can appreciate, this is a deeply personal matter for my parents, and we simply ask that his privacy be respected as he proceeds with treatment," Scott Paterno said"



    If privacy were your goal, then why announce it?


    Are you sure about that five minutes!?

    wow...if you think this

    Because the media spotted him Wednesday night at the hospital and wanted answers. You want the media to report everything so they are.

    They could have just said it is a private visit, what is so hard about that?


    If the media pressed them on it, they could have just not answered or lied, like they did in the child rape cover up scandal he was part of.
