What's with the guy in the purple thing?

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. -

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.

Bart is on schedule to attend. Wednesday, if you want to greet him at the airport and help carry their luggage.

Those hits probably did. Back then if you got woozy they would give you smelling salts and send you back out there not knowing the damage this can cause.Originally posted by Patler View PostComment

I guess it's just the truth that this is not being done for Bart Starr - it's being done for us.
Well, and so the NFL can make some more money, too."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

I think it's obvious that the Starr family wants to do this. It wouldn't happen otherwise.Originally posted by Fritz View Post
Should the Packers refuse their wish? And how does this translate to more money for the NFL?"I hope when Bart walks on the field that it will bring back a lot of really nice thoughts and experiences," Cherry told ESPN.com Monday night. "I just think it will be really stimulating to him to see all the lights and all the people and to hear the cheering. I hope it brings back memories for Bart, even if it's just for that moment. It's been a long road to get to this point, and we're all very excited about it."I can't run no more

I agree, it's totally up to Bart's family and what they want. I can't say what I'd do in if faced with the same decision, but since nobody knows 100% how the brain works, it would be pretty cool if the experience woke up some memories, and some very cherished ones at that. The man deserves the recognition for sure, whether or not he is able to process it at this point, and let's hope he is. I know that's the stuff of movies, but since nobody can say for sure anyway, I choose to hope for that result.Originally posted by Joemailman View Post"Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts." -Daniel Patrick MoynihanComment

Good post. I'm hoping for this and praying he doesn't get befuddled and go all 'Rain Man' out there.Originally posted by Carolina_Packer View Post"Never, never ever support a punk like mraynrand. Rather be as I am and feel real sympathy for his sickness." - WoodbuckComment

Even if there is no miracle, and even if he doesn't understand why, it's very possible that he will be aware that the packed crowd at Lambeau is screaming and cheering for him, which has to be a good feeling. This really is it for the man. Let him have his last moment and hope he enjoys it.2025 Ratpickers champion.Comment

My grandmother suffered from Alzheimers. When she met my daughter, her first great-grandchild, for the first time, she had one of the clearest days in years. Some things do trigger clarity, if only for a moment.Originally posted by Joemailman View Post
