One of the greatest coaches of all-time, Mr. Joe Paterno, passed away today. I have some mixed emotions of course. Football is kind of like my religion, and if millions of Catholics can forgive hundreds of priests…

Here is a short joke I made at the expense of Joe Pa.

“Don’t Celebrate It”

The game of football is hitting.  As a kid, the best hitters are the ones that excel early on.  Hitting and injuries are part of the game.

I was crippled and didn’t walk for a little under a year when I was eighteen years old due to a freak football accident.  I look at my mangled left knee with it’s five surgeries and I have to say some of the greatest moments of my life involved wailing a kid in the open field in a football game.

People (like myself) are going to get hurt.  If that’s the problem then don’t play football.  Their are thousands of people willing to take the place of any Brees, Dick, or Manning anytime.
