Joe Pa transferred ownership of his home to his wife July 21. he sold her the 535,000 home for 1 dollar. LOL Why, after 45 yrs of marriage, did he do this? Unless to absolve this home from civil lawsuits.

Yeah, this is a common practice. I think it is just coincidental that he did this before this situation blew up.

NCAA opens up investigation. Wants an answer if there was LOIC and wants to know by mid december. PSU football will get a pounding if they get an LOIC.

what a coincidence.

I mean it is certainly a legitimate diagnosis, however it is very interesting that it comes out right now.

serious question, is/was JoePa a smoker? I haven't read anything since this was revealed, so I don't know if it's been mentioned anywhere

Yep. EVERY disease is initially treatable, until it gets worse and you die. If you're diagnosed with AIDS, they call it treatable and you're put on medicines to control it. It works for a bit until you get some weird form of pneumonia that immunodeficient people will get, and then you die.
So don't pay attention to it being treatable. I'd be willing to bet that he's dead within six months.

Maybe because it was just diagnosed this past weekend. Do you ever do any research before you post ridiculous statements? SMH

According to Joe's son, Joe is minimizing the illness. Is minimizing Joe's forte? Just like he is accused of minimizing child sexual abuse? And just like other coaches, he minimizes things that may big factors that may be responsible for his team losing?

Disgusting this guy got to practice on video like that.

Tmz is reporting that may have been one of the victims from the grand jury report. Look at his hands, this guy is a sicko.

"In addition, Amendola said, "Two of the young men who we believe are listed as victims had dinner with Jerry and Dottie [Sandusky] this past summer, and another alleged victim brought his girlfriend and baby to meet Jerry and Dottie two years ago."

I'm aware of the timing of the diagnosis. I said that it is interesting. Nothing more than that. Coincidences do happen. And that's what this appears to be.
