Wether is was positive or negative anticipation, there was certainly some anticipation of HBO’s so-called biopic on former Penn State head coach Joe Paterno. The movie, “Paterno,” aired Saturday night, and it didn’t take long for viewers to chime in. Monday, nearly 300 Penn State lettermen signed a statement that was very critical of HBO and the film.
Some very famous former players, including Ki-Jana Carter, Franco Harris, highlighted the list. In their letter, the players voiced their concern about the portrayal of Paterno in the film and the fact that, in their eyes, the movie got it wrong.
