On CBS's basketball coverage just now, they said that Joe Paterno's family had been called to say their final goodbyes as he is near death.
 
The Sandusky stuff took a toll on him and I guess he lost the urge to fight the cancer since he lived for coaching and no longer has that to live for.
 
The whole entire story is just sad. I had a feeling his health was worse than what the public was told.

Truly a sad day..............
 
Greatly sorry to hear of that.

My father passed away due to lung cancer and the treatment thereof.

Horrible disease.

Geez, a death watch. How grisly. Maybe imbeciles like CBS, etc should wait until something happens before trying to be first. Breaking news is so more important than anything, even lives. :rolleyes:

That's weird that she would get mad. It is what it is, with a bunch of media vultures waiting to 'break the news'.

That's exactly what the media is doing and, in their zeal to be first with the story, we see that sometimes actual facts get pushed to the side.
