    guess cbs knew this old dude was about to kick the bucket, as 60 mins did a special piece on him just last week.....

    guess they wanted him to be able to see it before they put him in the ground....

    he busted a lot of balls over the years.... RIP

    Moral of the story DON'T RETIRE!!! They say when you retire from work and no longer have a purpose in life you can die quicker.. 84 years old is getting up there in age though..

    I'm retired but gamble full time so I'm good

    wonder what his motivation was to keep working that long. never could understand why cbs kept all those fossils on the air all these years. difficult to watch them age away. none of them were that talented.

    People KNEW Joe Paterno would die soon after he retired for many years before he actually did.

    No moral of the story is retire at 64 so you can enjoy 20 years of doing nothing and maybe live longer.

    Talk about irony. Above clip was done as a retirement congratulations. One week later, it views as a eulogy.
