Joe Paterno is the Closer?

I’m not buying it. He hasn’t been getting coffee from Baldwin for at least a decade.
At any rate, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Penn State has pulled out its alleged big gun, Paterno, to try and convince apparent football superman Terrelle Pryor to waste his talents in Penn State’s ridiculously outdated offense. And, no matter how much I try to get rid of the thought, I can’t help but imagine Paterno as Izzy Mandelbaum from the classic Seinfeld episode, inviting Pryor to get aboard the pain train while throwing a medicine ball at him.
Regardless, good luck to Penn State in talking Pryor away from new hotness Rich Rodriguez at Michigan, away from the fun of Oregon’s offense, or Ohio State. Well, he ought to be able to argue him away from Ohio State. The other two choices? Not so much.
C’mon Pryor! It’s go time!
