Paterno biography release form

Joe Paterno's family sent a letter to former Penn State football players today -- an op-ed column they say the coach, himself, wrote in the month or so before he died.

This is the column, verbatim:

For the last two months, at the request of the Attorney General's office, I have not discussed the specifics of my testimony regarding the pending cases. And while I will continue to honor that request, I do feel compelled to address comments made subsequent to November 9; specifically, I feel compelled to say, in no uncertain terms, that this is not a football scandal.

Let me say that again so I am not misunderstood: regardless of anyone's opinion of my actions or the actions of the handful of administration officials in this matter, the fact is nothing alleged is an indictment of football or evidence that the spectacular collections of accomplishments by dedicated student athletes should be in anyway tarnished.

The Porterfield Grouphas seemingly become one of Joe Paterno’s most public advocates over the last three years. The local digital media enterprise, led by filmmaker Eric Porterfield, is responsible for both the “Joe We Know“and “365 Days: A Year in Happy Valley” films.

It is the people’s story.”

“After producing ‘The Joe We Know,’ in 2011, we realized even more how unique Joe Paterno’s story really was,” said Michelle Hagan, CEO of The Porterfield Group. “As storytellers, his contributions seemed too compelling to ignore. Our ‘365 Days‘ distribution contact commented that he couldn’t believe there was no documentary film in the works about Paterno’s life. We feel our team is uniquely positioned to tell the story, so we put together a team to do just that.”

Production will begin in Brooklyn, NY in May where Paterno grew up, with a DVD release set for November 9, 2014, on the three year anniversary of his final d
