At an unusually young age, I read 'Instant Replay' by Jerry Kramer, which talked a lot about the Green Bay Packers and Vince Lombardi. From there I was really more a fan of coaches than teams and players.
I've personally never had the chance to go to Lambeau Field.
I think the Lombardi teams enjoyed and wanted to get into the big games.
I'm a lifetime Green Bay Packers fan.
I also played in the 1967 Super Bowl against the Green Bay Packers.
This is a game, first and foremost. There was only one Vince Lombardi, and he died.
It's special for me to coach the team Lombardi coached.
Lombardi, a certain magic still lingers in the very name. It speaks of duels in the snow and November mud... He remains for many the heart of pro football, pumping hard right now.
