It's a sad day in Pennsylvania sports, and the least of the problems is the pair of frustrating, come-from-ahead losses by the Keystone State's pro pigskinners.
Philadelphia's legendary Smokin' Joe Frazier [standing, left], charismatic, classy, and at times controversial former Heavyweight Champion of the World, sadly lost a battle to liver cancer at the age of 67.
But the real epic tragedy being played out in Penn's Woods is the fall of Penn State administrators and beyond-legendary head football coach Joe Paterno in a hideous child sex scandal.
While prosecutors and LEOs are quick to point out that, as far as we know, Paterno is not the focus of the investigation and followed the letter of the law in handling the situation in 2002, we may have seen JoePa coach his final game at Happy Valley.What a terrible swan song.
In turning a blind moral eye to the entire heinous situation for some nine years, he lost the high ground upon which he'd stood for five decades in just a handful of hours.
It pains us to say: Joe must go.
