You remember the Joe Paterno road rage story from two days ago, how could you forget. Well, JoePa finally got a chance to share his side of the story. It's not as awesome as we originally dreamt, with middle fingers flying left and right, but the coach did leave us with one of this classic quotes."He told more than 300 people at the Penn State Quarterback Club luncheon about his near miss. Information exchanged at the weekly luncheon is normally treated as off the record and not open to the media. But multiple sources who attended told the Post-Gazette about Paterno's exchange with the audience.
According to the sources, Paterno said after his close call he pulled his car over to the curb and got out.
He then approached the other vehicle and shook his finger at the driver. He warned her to, "Watch it."
"Be careful," Paterno said. "I have your license number, and I will call the police on you.""
Alright, fine. I guess I'll believe JoePa over some message board poster. But only because he left us with this punchline.
Don't ever retire, Joe. Don't ever retire. Does this mean they'll have to name ALL roads after Paterno now?According to the sources, Paterno said a male passenger then walked up and chastised him, saying, "That's my wife you're talking to."
Paterno said, "That's your problem."
