Too bad we couldn't get one of our more informed Rats to conduct an interview...

Are any of the amateur bloggers from the bigger sites getting any media access in Green Bay?Originally posted by MichiganPackerFan[QUOTE=George Cumby] ...every draft (Ted) would pick a solid, dependable, smart, athletically limited linebacker...the guy who isn't doing drugs, going to strip bars, knocking around his girlfriend or making any plays of game changing significance.Comment

Skin: Ted, does Atari Bigby have compromising pictures of you or something? Oh, and my follow up: if so, can I get Atari's address? I have this hobby on the Packerrats site...
Red: Why can't you get and keep a damn punter?
Patler: Shawn Slocum? James Campen? How do you feel about McCarthy's ability to find good assistants, particularly when he promotes?
KY: Why has Cinci been able to mold offensive linemen out of lumps of clay, while many of your picks have remained lumps of clay?
Fritz: Say, do you by any chance know Drew Barrymore?"The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up

And we'd all be more informed regarding the Packers too!
That reminds me of the April Fools joke you played Patler a few years back that I fell hook, line and sinker for! You were so sincere and I forgot what day it was.

Ya, that one worked quite well!Originally posted by vinceThat reminds me of the April Fools joke you played Patler a few years back that I fell hook, line and sinker for! You were so sincere and I forgot what day it was.
But when I started to get some real nice personal messages from people, I started to feel guilty for having done it! I had to "come clean" about it fairly quickly.Comment

I noticed Bud Lea has an article about Forrest Gregg in PI today, and I did a quick "is Bud Lea still alive?" in my head. Of course I had to do the Google search to see what he is up to these days and ran across this interview from last spring. A very nice walk down memory lane for Wisconsin sports:
I am in no way comparing the two men, but this was interesting after reading through this thread last night.......
OMC: What was it like dealing with Lombardi? Did you know at the time that he would be revered as a larger-than-life coaching legend?
BL: Lombardi will always stand out at the head of the list of sports personalities I covered because I had never met a man quite like him. He was brilliant, tough, emotional, unpredictable, moody. And, oh yes, he was a perfectionist. He often talked about playing a game that was free from error, physical and mental.
After the Packers lost a game, you didn't know what to expect when you walked into his locker room. Often, you didn't know what to expect when his Packers won.
Most of his post-game press conferences were made up of short answers to sports writers' short questions. Anyone who asked a dumb question would get a go-to-hell snarl, and he volunteered nothing.
When I couldn't get up to Green Bay, say, following a game in Baltimore, I would have to call him at 10:45 a.m. sharp on Monday to get any kind of follow-up story. I prepared my questions in advance, and it was an awful ordeal going one-on-one with him. He answered a few with short answers and then said, "How many more? When I said, "I'm just getting started," he replied, "I've got to get to work." I absolutely dreaded those calls.After lunch the players lounged about the hotel patio watching the surf fling white plumes high against the darkening sky. Clouds were piling up in the west… Vince Lombardi frowned.Comment
