Lombardi was considered a great motivator but IMO you don't motivate people by continually telling them they suck and they are losers. You may be able to motivate them by telling them they can do better and they should expect better things from themselves. Its not the same ting. If Bart Starr had not scored on that sneak and the Packers had lost the Ice Bowl somehow I doubt that Lombardi would have been telling his players in the locker room afterward that they sucked and were losers and the game and the season were both failures. If I'm wrong he may not be the man I was lead to believe he was.

Carroll Dale played in the SB for both the Packers and the Vikings. Dale once remarked that a difference between Lombardi and Grant was that Lombardi was not satisfied to merely play in the big game. Grant praised his players before those game just for having gotten there. I hope that fans are aware which of the two HCs won all of his NFL championship game appearances and which one lost all of his.

The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That's real glory...
You have to take a loss. Have to feel that sting to know what it truly means to get back up.
To fight back.
If no one ever fought back, there would be no fight in any man.
That fight may knock you down. It may flatten you.
But can you get back up?
That's the question here.
Can you take their best. Their worst. Then... After that has all come...
Can you stand back up?
Will you stand up?
Are you still willing to fight?
I am. I'm still willing to fight. I may not be able, but god bless, I am still willing.
I may crumble. I may fall.
But not today.

Great historical reference to Dale and the overrated Bud Grant. Never knew Dale played for the Queens. There was a slight error however. Lombardi won 5 out of his 6 Championship games. Pack lost to Philly in the 1960 title Game. What is the scientific definition of a vacuum? Answer: The Minnesota Vikings trophy case!!!

Thanks for the clarification. I keep putting that game against Philly out of mind. Kind of like Vikings fans must have to do with every one of their championship game memories.

Great idea, needs to be searchable, at least by user name.
I am sure I have some instant meltdown reaction in there, so I'm not immune.
I would love to be able to see them to see what I said in the moment.
As someone who posts infrequently, but uses the chat, it should be interesting!

10:50 a.m. "There goes the game."
That's the earliest I could find for that game. Well done, Pack nation. Held out quite awhile.

That's MISTER Cheesehead, to you.
Excellent! I think it might help moderate some of the comments. (emphasis on "might").

Just make sure to save all the Fire McCarthy threads up so we can pick out the silly bashers on that subject. Still amazes me that people really don't know just how good a coach he is.
