Coach Lombardi always wanted us to be on time. To be on time for the Packers is to be there fifteen minutes early. Of course the Negroes could never come in on time.
So Coach gave every one of them a special alarm clock wrist watch. It was the latest thing. The only one who wouldn't take it was Willie Davis.
He said "Coach does this run on AM or PM or EST or CP time?" "What's CP time Willie?' "That be colored people time coach and that be the only time I can keep."
Coach just sent Max Mcgee over to wake him up. He was usually coming in when it was time for Willie to get up.
Coach was a problem solver.
