Lombardi

Some interesting photos of the late Vince Lombardi:http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedia/photo_gallery/1009/vince.lombardi.rare.photos/content.1.html?xid=cnnbin&hpt=Sbin.  As a kid, I watched Lombardi's Packers rip the hearts out of all of us who were pulling for the Cowboys ( the Oilers were my team but the Cowboys were in the NFL, so there was no real disloyalty in my feeble mind).  Later, I read Jerry Kramer's account of that famous 1967 championship season, "Instant Replay" which is devoted in large part to the character of Lombardi and how his players alternately cursed and worshipped him.  And, in the past several years, I've been to Lambeau Field in Green Bay a couple of times and walked beneath the statue of Vince clad in a marble overcoat.  Pretty neat franchise, Green Bay--owned by the fans who pass season tickets to relatives via their wills and work the turnstiles and all that.  The only problem with Green Bay is this thing called, winter.  It happens there.
