If you want to read a good book about the Packers, find a copy of I Am Third, by Jerry Kramer. Kramer was a guard during the Packer's glory days, when the pulling-guard-sweep was a key part of the Packer's offense.

The title comes from one of Lobardi's lessons:

"God is first, my family is second, and I am third"

Of course, you had your home family, and your football family, in the Lombardi mindset. The hotdogs of today's NFL wouldn't last 5 minutes on a Lombardi team.
