Still Reality-Based After All These Years

Way to go Joe

How can you not love this guy?

Joe Paterno will not be punished for grabbing an official after Penn State’s overtime loss to Iowa.

When the game ended, Paterno sprinted down the field and grabbed the jersey of referee Dick Honig as he was headed into the locker room.
“All I did was try to stop him because he was running ahead of me,” Paterno said. “I was running to the locker room, I grabbed him by the shirt and I said ‘Hey, Dick, you had two lousy calls.’ Not he, I said the two guys on the other side had two lousy calls.”

I’ll tell you what, “Hey, Dick, you had two lousy calls” is a lot tamer than what I was yelling in my living room after that game, and I wasn’t calling the referee by name either.

For those of you playing the Penn State Stadium Cheer Home game:

I say JoePa and you say…
