Joe Paterno 

To provide cover for illicit activity. To provide a false alibi or to cover up someone else's nasty behavior.

You want to cheat on your wife, go ahead. But don't ask me to cover for you- I'm not your Joe Paterno.

If the cops call, you're on your own. I'm not your Joe Paterno.

Don't do that in front of me. You're not Jerry Sandusky and I'm not Joe Paterno.

Steaming Joe Paterno

Guy #2: Yeah, he was busy pulling a Joe Paterno.
