One can't help but suppose his rapid decline is related to the awful revelations of last fall and the disgrace heaped upon him.

Sad end to an amazing career.

what's really sad is the armchair quarterbacks who assume they know the man...

He does. But there is little doubt that a positive spirit and attitude are critical to the fight against cancer.

I imagine that a positive spirit helped the orphan boys that sandusky molested in the shower also will do a lot better if they have a positive spirit as well. (That was sarcasm).

It is sad that Joe is dying but I am not sympathetic to him or any of the bums who contributed to the coverup of the despicable acts that occured.

Apparently Joe did not share your strong position about child rapers.
