sad that he will go out with his legacy tarnished by the acts of another.

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

Saw them say that he's in his final hours.

I thought he may not live long after he finally retired, much like the way a lot of relatively-healthy old people seem to die shortly after their spouse dies.

Football was keeping this guy alive....no wonder he never wanted to quit. His legacy won't be tarnished in any way though IMO.

Worked in a factory many years ago and there was this old German guy who was like 6'4 260 and solid. Hardest working guy I've ever seen and strong like a bull, never missed a single shift. Worked all day then did side jobs at night. Decided to finally retire when he was 70.......died a week later.

I read that the earlier you retire the longer you live.

My dad retired at 65, lived to 79. I figure I'll retire about 62, live to early 80's.

Sad day for Joe-Pa & college football. The guy was Penn State.
