Instant Replay- The Unedited Edition

Coach Lombardi was all about winning. He didn't care if you were black or white. Catholic, Protestant or Jew. Well there weren't any Jew football players but you know what I mean. Coach didn't care. He just did whatever it took to win.

If you had a favorite food that helped you he would always make sure he provided it at the training table. Willie Davis got his grits and collard greens. Fuzzy Thurston loved peaches. He said they reminded him of his balls. Of course Hornung loved big juicy sausages. He would take them right out of the bun and stick one end in his mouth and slowly sallow them. It was sort of weird but that was Paul.

Most of all he helped us develop healthy habits. He thought having a cigarette helped calm the nerves. Especially for the high strung guys. He would often light up on the sidelines and call us over to take a couple of drags. Tom Moore went over for a couple of puffs every other play.

The Packers were always about health.
