Scott Paterno May Organize Press Conference For Dad

Uh oh. Scott Paterno has gone rogue.

Responding on his Twitter to the New York Times report which says Penn State is planning Joe Paterno’s exit, Scott had this to say: 

Then, in response to questions about his father holding his own press conference, Scott told reporters that he was “working on [making it happen].”

This is spiraling out of control in fantastic fashion. 

The school’s president may be dickless. Paterno may be helpless. But, Scott, a lawyer and (aspiring?) politico, plays by nobody’s rules– this could get wild.

This is approaching O.J. levels. I'm half-expecting to see Joe Pa fleeing on the Turnpike in a white Bronco (the role of A.C. Cowlings being played by son Scott).
