[QUOTE="Bogart, post: 357646, member: 3900"] I hear this a lot when discussing the great coach with friends of mine at work. The simple saying..."Had he lived..." seems to go on with much thought that we think would have happened. Even when the Eagles/Vikings game was post poned to a Tuesday we heard someone say "if Lombardi was alive" but what if he really did live up through the 70's and 80's most people wonder. My opinion is I believe Lombardi would be ashamed at some things in this league, and proud of others. Pride: To see the Packers work through injuries and all year around to win the Super Bowl, this would make him smile. Shame: When it comes down to money and and the lock out, this is what I strongly believe Lombardi would be ashamed of within this league. We have players such as Darrelle Revis who held out for more money going into this season, and then don't even record a single interception this season. As for us as a league...Lombardi taught us everything we needed to know about Football, and he gave it to us...for free without a cost, and 3/4's of the time we never take it into consideration. When I watched some of his biographies I was amazed how he taught people the power sweep, and the importance of balace in offense, and he was NOT asking for money to teach this stuff. Some can say he basically gave away game plans since all the while he was teaching these things, he also was coaching, but we see he truly loved this sport and wanted others to love it and learn it like he did, I think at the end of the day that was value in Vince Lombardi. It was about pride, not money. [/QUOTE]
