Oh. Lombardi also:
—Made sure his Black players were given time to go to Milwaukee where there were people who knew how to cut their hair.
—Told anybody who would listen that homophobia had absolutely no place in any building he ran (his brother Harold was gay).
—Hated all forms of prejudice because he had experienced so much of it himself.
—Was a Kennedy Democrat who sloughed off Nixon’s potential interest in him as a running mate.
Lombardi would have HATED Donald Trump.
@Peter_Bukowski I do not understand why you will defend Jordan Love’s middle of the pack play until the end. Every week it’s someone else’s fault and he can do no wrong in your eyes. Weird
Pretty wild stuff: Hall of Fame quarterback Fran Tarkenton recently explained why the Minnesota Vikings “never came close to winning a Super Bowl.” According to him, the team didn’t even practice during the two weeks leading up to the big game.
He says Hall of Fame coach Bud Grant would send the players home and install the offense himself — even though Tarkenton had done it all season.
Looks like the Vikings’ Head Coach to Quarterback organizational disconnect goes back further than most of us ever realized.
