Did Penn State Board of Trustees Kill Coach Joe Paterno Dead at 85?

The winningest college football coach of all time, Joe Paterno died today at 85.

JoePa suffered in his final 2 months on Earth from lung cancer, broken bones and more importantly a broken heart, once his good name, college and football life was abruptly taken from him.

Not fired but killed by the board of trustees. How well will the Penn State Board of Trustees sleep tonight?

Honor, ethics and education.

“ I feel that the board made a bad decision in letting Joe Paterno go. I’m very disappointed in their decision.

I thought they showed no courage, not to back someone who really needed it at the time.” – Franco Harris

RIP great football coach. Joe Paterno made Penn State a better place.

Muhammad Ali 70 the Greatest

Happy Birthday Champ. Legendary boxer and humanitarian Muhammad Ali  “I am the Greatest” turned 70 years old on jan. 17

This time he defeated Smoking Joe Frazier in the arena of life and death.

A $1000 a plate birthday party honored the Champ in Louisville, Kentucky.

Born Cassius Clay, he won a boxing gold medal for the United States in the 1960 Rome Olympics.

Millions cheered his name – Ali Ali Ali. Muhammad Ali has been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

“ I ain’t got no quarrel with the Viet Cong.” – Muhammad Ali
