    Only kidding! I have no problem with Starr at top of list, I really don't know. I did see him play at end of his career. Looks like Maxie waited until Fritz posted, he cribbed from his list.
    I resemble that remark!!

    Actually, it's interesting how close our lists are. I was actually posting my list when I saw Fritz had posted one. I think they're similar because we both have terrific powers of football game observation.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    Damn straight!

    And I have fond memories of Dickey - the only ray of hope was that one playoff team. The dude could throw a football. But he was a statue in the pocket, and he did throw his share of picks.

    It would be interesting if we could go back and give Dickey a decent defense. Maybe he would have been truly successful.

    My fondest memory of Lynn Dickey comes from 1990s when he was back for some honor, maybe 92 when he got put in hall. The camera cut to him in a sky box during game. He was just shoveling food in his face. It was funny at time, never seen him since.

    He has returned numerous times to Lambeau along with other alumni for a home game.

    Seriously, I'm with you. Those were some hard years but who can forget the Monday Night Shootout with the Champion Redskins.

    I was there! Big wins were few and far between back then so it was a real treat to win that one!

    That's rad! I stayed up late to watch the game and kept reading about it as I delivered the WSJ the next morning.

    Whut? You read the paper in the dark, while you were delivering it? I used to deliver the Milwaukee Urinal, and even as an afternoon paper, I could only make out the headlines. Still, it could be because I was only reading at a first grade level, but come to think of it, that's the level the Urinal wrote at. Ahh, never mind...
