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

[LVSOONER15]

Sad news if true.

[OKC-SLC]

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.

[LVSOONER15]

That sucks. I had to see a friend pass away with the same lung cancer. it takes you quick

[OKC-SLC]

espn says the family is considering removing him from the vent tomorrow.

[StoopTroup]

I'm not calling his TOD until Sittler Tweets it.

[VA Sooner]

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.

[PrideTrombone]

Breaking now, he's passed away. http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/7489238/joe-paterno-ex-penn-state-nittany-lions-coach-dies-85-2-month-cancer-fight

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.
