Bravo Ryan Grant!

[MJZiggy]

I remember this story from earlier in the season when Grant went to visit him. Nice that he did this because not only is the kid remembered, but at the same time, other kids get help realizing their futures so the benefits can last for decades.

Its also possible he was joking.

Thanks for the link, Pugger.

I don't know how prominently Ryan Grant will figure in the Packers' future but it's obvious that he's a quality person and a positive influence on others. Pro sports needs a lot more like Ryan Grant.

This is a quote fr. the article:

"Ask him if he'll bring the Lombardi Trophy," said Catholic Central senior Zach Guilliams.

Now that the NFL players are locked out or this is 'in fact' in contention through the court system...:

Do Packer players have access to the Lombardi Trophy' under the existing squabble?

Is the Lombardi Trophy owned by the NFL as a whole or just by the NFL owners?

GO PACKERS !

I don't think that players have access to the Lombardi trophy in the offseason under normal conditions. After the initial celebration when it's handed around and everybody gets to take their picture with it, I think it pretty much goes in the team's trophy case where players can go look at it just like everybody else: under glass.

It's not like the Stanley Cup, where everybody gets to take it home for a day. Remember, they make a new Lombardi trophy every year, the winning team gets to keep it forever.
