Joe Paterno doesn't call the plays on offense or defense, so if he can't yell at the officials, I'm not sure what, exactly, he plans to be doing while Penn State is running up the score on Temple:
Penn State head coach Joe Paterno has had problems moving in recent weeks. Speaking on his Thursday night radio show, the 81-year-old acknowledged one of his legs has been bothering him.
Now it appears Paterno may spend Saturday afternoon in the Beaver Stadium coaching booth when No. 16 Penn State (3-0) hosts 1-2 Temple. Kickoff is at noon.
"May spend" = "will spend" as of this morning. I'm calling now for anyone who can produce a screenshot when a camera catches him nodding off in the middle of the third quarter.
This may not be an isolated incident -- Paterno's health is becoming a major issue since the ugly broken leg two years ago first relegated him to the box for the second half of the 2006 season. On the bright side: at least it's an easier exit when nature calls.
