NOW Want Joe Pa to Resign

Gotta love Joe Paterno. The guy really has a way of putting his critics in a full-nelson, whether it be with an 11-1 season, or the verbal jab. He's coach of the year, but now I think that he deserves a medal for being the latest in a long line of high profile bi-peds with a shorter third leg to piss of someone from NOW:

Paterno's remarks came two days after NOW Pennsylvania president Joanne Tosti-Vasey said she was "appalled" by Paterno's comments last week, saying they represent an institutional insensitivity that endangers women.

A day before the Orange Bowl, Paterno was asked about Nicholson and replied by talking about past suspensions of Penn State players. He then added: "There's some tough -- there's so many people gravitating to these kids. He may not have even known what he was getting into, Nicholson. They knock on the door; somebody may knock on the door; a cute girl knocks on the door. What do you do?

"Geez. I hope -- thank God they don't knock on my door because I'd refer them to a couple of other rooms," Paterno continued. "But that's too bad. You hate to see that. I really do. You like to see a kid end up his football career. He's a heck of a football player, by the way; he's a really good football player. And it's just too bad."

Tosti-Vasey called on Paterno to resign and sent e-mails to both him and the university president.

Paterno told ESPN on Tuesday that he would always consider the source of the resignation request.

"If my kids calls for it [my resignation], if my squad calls for it ... but when people don't know what they're doing are looking for publicity or trying to give publicity to their cause or looking for some sort of scapegoat, no, it doesn't bother me," he said.

Oh, how shocked I am that the "source" Joe Pa is asking us to consider has a hyphenated last name. SHOCKED! SHOCKED! SHO...GET YOUR MAN HANDS OFF OF MY VA......!!!

Well, Mrs. Tosti-Vasey (incidentally, whose name reminds of something I get at the end of a massage here in Chinatown), maybe if your timing on calling for his resignation was a little better, like after Penn State's 4-7 record last year, you would of had cheering section of Penn State fans from here to the sea. And don't give me that "but he said it this year" stuff--Joe Pa is 79 years old and I guarantee that you if you sat through one football practice in the last 5 decades, you'd be liable to hear a few remarks far more colorful than the one you've heard after the Orange Bowl.

Instead, Mrs. Attention-Whore, you pick the time when Joe Pa is, again, standing on top of the world to launch your claws into him. Geeze, you'd think with all those women in your organization that have haircuts like Jonny Unitas, you'd know a little more about football.

Come on over here Tosti, Joe Pa'll ease that tension that is causing you to act like such a bitch.
