    there are a few not so lethal variants that when treated are easily survivable.  jopa has one of those.
    seems like the c card has been played.
    except c stands for coverup also

    So about a week after he gets fired for his involvement in the biggest scandal in the history of American sports, his legacy is destroyed, and the media is bashing him left and right all of a sudden he announces that he has cancer.

    That is one hell of a coincidence.

    I suppose he thinks this means the public and media will give him a pass for allowing children to be raped by his friend for over a decade.

    Think again, Joe.

    Joe Paterno could die a slow and painful death and I could not care less.

    Just what was his involvement in this scandal?(if you or anyone else on here knows,other than speculation, why didn't you go to the cops or testify at the grand jury hearing)

    Uh, he didn't announce this.(his son did)

    Glad you know what he thinks.

    Yeah karma is a bitch.(maybe the reason you and some others are so miserable?)

    A question for you" Do you use a ouija board or a crystal ball?"

    So about a week after he gets fired for his involvement in the biggest scandal in the history of American sports, his legacy is destroyed, and the media is bashing him left and right all of a sudden he announces that he has cancer.

    Only because your posting style absolutely drives me nuts, and it is annoying as $hit the way you think you win arguments based on knitpicking words, your statement above is very much factually incorrect.

    If you are going to post and have an opinion, and expect people to take your opinion seriously, at least get your facts straight.

    In classic, StraightShooter form, I challenge you to show me where Joe Paterno made an announcement that he had cancer

    Yeah karma is a bitch.(maybe the reason you and some others are so miserable?)

    A question for you" Do you use a ouija board or a crystal ball?"

     

     



    you cant be serious with this post?  Joe pa pa is told that his buddy sandusky was ass raping some 10 year old in the shower and instead of doing everything he could to see this guy go to jail, he lets him keep an office on campus so he could abuse more kids.
    Dont you think thats enough involvement?  even joe pa pa, said he should have done more, right there should all you need to know about joe pa pa. The guy is a creep who fooled and brainwashed people for years with that pbhony good guy act.

    Honestly am quite shocked by your post

    JoePa is the untimate face of shame. To bring cancer into it at this point is a shameless attempt from him and the lawyers to sway the public opinion.

    Get this scrub off of the news and tear down that statue. The man is a spineless jelly fish.  

    Get the fuck outta here.

    Thanks, cd for pointing out the blatantly obvious facts to those Covers members who wish to ignore them.

    If there was any adult that knew of any type of sexual abuse of a child at that institution, and that adult did nothing except "tell their supervisor", then that adult is morally, ethically, and legally guilty of doing the wrong thing.

    The right thing would have been to immediately contact law enforcement, immediately suspend (without pay) the suspect of the most heinous crime known to man, and immediately pursue all of the facts of the crime in question.

    For all those who love Paterno, keep loving him - nothing wrong with his accomplishments on the field.  But as far a his accomplishments as a decent human being - there is none; his inaction after knowledge of this horrible crime against a child has allowed himself to be thrown into the pits with the most vile of human beings.

    For that and that only, Paterno goes from a man of class in the collegiate arena to a despicable human being.

    It's really that simple.

    my prayers are with joe, nobody deserves cancer, besides maybe sandusky.  joe is a great man who may have made a bad decision in hindsight, he does not deserve cancer.

    He was running the football program and looked the other way for almost a decade while he his friend was raping young boys (sometimes even in his locker room).

    Whether he announced it or his son did it changes nothing.

    It looks like your dumbass doesn’t know what “I suppose” means since you think it means “I know.”

    Nope.  I live a pretty good life.

    Now that you have made an ass of yourself again, time for you to get back to ranting about how a random adult placing a small bet on a football game has the same effect on a child as a pedophile sodomizing them and forcing them to perform oral sex on him.

    You should be ashamed.

    god has already forgiven joe, unlike you god has known about this for at least a decade and joe's involvement.  the god i believe in doesnt give anyone cancer as we are all god's children.  what did joe do again?  perhaps he did not call the police and who knows what mcqueary told him anyway.  only god knows and can judge him.

    god loves us all, even those that have sinned.  jesus loves you too even if you snorted 10 lines of cocaine tonight and ordered a hooker.

    In classic, StraightShooter form, I challenge you to show me where Joe Paterno made an announcement that he had cancer

    Aww, still bitter from being embarrassed earlier?   Get over it, kid.

    Whether he announced it or his spokeperson/son did it changes nothing.

    If that’s all you have as an argument you should just quit while you’re behind and save yourself further embarrassment.

    But then you have shown you aren’t very smart so maybe you will keep making an ass of yourself and give the rest of us something to laugh at.

    if you knew anything about joe he would be the last one who would ever want to announce this.  my understanding is his family was repeatedly asked why he was in the hospital and his son Scott said why.  Shame on them??

    joe minimizes everything, which may have been his ultimate problem.  he wants no attention to him and was upset when they put on a statue on campus because of him.  he wanted it taken down!

    sure he's got an ego, show me a male who doesn't, especially a successful, rich, educated one.  but until now, no one has ever had a bad word to say about him as a human being or the young men he consistently has graduated.

    unfortunately for his haters, he will beat this cancer the doctors say, as easily as he has beat 409 different football teams.

    may god bless him...and you too to stop the hatred you have in your blood.
