11.06.06 JOE PATERNO GOT ROCKED

I watched approximately four minutes of college football this weekend, which is about four minutes more than I usually watch on any given Saturday. I was just standing around in a suit, waiting to go to a wedding in northern New Hampshire, so there were all sorts of levels of boredom I was facing that led to the college football-watching.

BUT, the cool thing is that, of the tiny slice of the Penn State-Wisconsin that I saw, I got to see Joe Paterno get his osteoporosis-weakened knee snapped like kindling LIVE. I've got nothing against Joe Paterno — other than he's really old, which reminds me of my own mortality — but it was definitely the most entertaining thing I saw while I was in New Hampshire. Well, except for maybe that deer carcass on the highway. It was pretty much turned inside-out, and there was more blood than Carrie. Pretty sweet.

Oh, and in case you missed it, here's the video, courtesy the 700 Level and Deadspin.
