Joe Paterno chases off a cameraman during pre-game warmup. The camera crew was shooting close-up shots of the team captains stretching 30 minutes before the game. This wasn’t a network crew; their images were going up on the closed-circuit jumbotron.
a story on CBS Evening News from January 4, 2006 about Joe Paterno (and a little of Bobby Bowden) after Penn State’s win in the Orange Bowl on January 3, 2006. It was nice to see Joe finally get some respect after several years of taking hits. My favorite part: “No but I’m going to propose you retire after this one” LOL Great game, Penn State won 26-23.

The statue of Joe Paterno was taken down early Sunday morning by Penn State, and in New Hope, members of the community expressed very different views on the topic. Video by Kimberly Flanders.
