Lombardi trivia...

to tell you how good a coach Lombardi was,he actually won a state boy's basketball championship,at St. Cecelia High School,in Englewood,New Jersey... funny thing is that he knew nothing about basketball,and he used a 20 year old textbook,as his "Bible",that season... as their assistant,and then their head football coach,they won six straight parochial state football titles,and actually won 32 straight games,and was assistant coach,under Red Blaik(legendary Army head coach),from 1949-1953...

NFL news...

commentary...

before you may think that the Packers have done very little,in free agency(they have not signed any unrestricted free agent),you tend to forget that they have fifteen major players coming off injured reserve,this spring,so,even though,they may have stood still,in free agency,they should be fine,because the starting running back from opening game,in 2010(Ryan Grant)is running around camp rather healthy,and their best wide receiver(Jermichael Finley)is near 100%,and with Charles Woodson healed up from broken collarbone(Super Bowl injury),the defense will be hungry to prove that last year was no fluke,and with Aaron Rodgers fully recovered from concussion,and with him,at helm of the Packers' offense,the Packers will defend their Super Bowl championship,with gusto....
