CBS Sports reported earlier that he was dead, then JoPa's son said he was still alive, but in serious condition. Who knows?!

It sounds like they've taken him off the ventilator. If that's true, that's a concession that he is going to pass away soon. If he needs the vent, he will not last long.
I hate that his last 2-3 months have gone down like they have.

Tough for the family, tough for JoPa.
End of a great career and for it for end like this.
My thoughts and prayers goes out to the Paterno family.

I wish someone had posted this bit by Eddie Izzard during the "Is JoePa dead" thing:

'Course, might've made some folks mad. But, damnit, funny is worth it.
