 | When
Pride Still Mattered
by David Maraniss
As coach of the Green Bay Packers from 1959 to 1967, Vince Lombardi turned perennial losers into a juggernaut, winning back-to-back NFL titles in 1961 and 1962, and Superbowls I and II in 1966 and 1967. Stern, severe, sentimental, and paternal, he stood revered, reviled, respected, and mocked--a touchstone for the '60s all in one person. Which adds up to the myth we've been left with. But who was the man? That's the question Pulitzer Prize-winner David Maraniss tackles. |

Green Bay Replay : The Packers' Return to Glory
by Dick Schaap Hardcover - 384 pages
Sports and Outdoors Editor's Recommended Book, 10/01/97. There is something
refreshing about Dick Schaap's ready admission that he's had a long-standing romance with
Green Bay and its football team. "I do not come to this book with clean journalistic
hands," he cops. And so much the better. In an era of cold, corporate sports and
cold, cynical sportswriters, the Packers are the nation's only civically owned major
franchise, and Schaap, one of the best observers of the sporting scene, adores them for
it. His chronicle of the 1997 Super Bowl championship campaign warmly examines the town's
special relationship with its team, and the team's special relationship with its past as
it affectionately links current stars such as Brett Favre and Reggie White with their
spiritual ancestors--Bart Starr and Willie Davis--from the dynasties of the Vince
Lombardi-led '60s. A little soppy? Sure. But so what? There's no law that says baseball's
the only sport allowed to split the uprights of emotion. |
