Rip Joe. You were a class act.

I predict his legacy will be he could of done more then he did (and I'm not talking football)...

[alismith]

It's a shame a great career had to end on such a sour note. Now, his bio will be linked to that, as well as, his successes. Whether he could have done more, or not, is irrelevant as this "shadow" will dog his reputation forever.

Apparently the news says he ain't dead.

Well, now they are saying he is. 5 minutes ago they said he wasn't. geeze.

I'm sort of surprised they didn't wait 10 years to tell us. You know, as sort of a tribute.

Except for the part about stonewalling and covering up for his kid-raping asst coach, over a period of years.

Yeah, that's pretty bad stuff. Who cares if he was a great coach if he did something like this. I don't know all the details but if this is true, and he allowed someone to continue molesting kids he's as bad as the other scum bag.
