Coach did make a big deal about his friendship with Richard Nixon. Everybody knew that Coach Lombardi liked Dick so it was no secret. They were photographed at games and at dinner and hanging out all the time. Vice President Nixon always supported Coach and offered his advice. He even diagrammed plays and offered to find out the play books of the other teams. Coach never took him up on that. He felt you just made your five or six plays and executed them. You did what you did and made the other team stop you. If you had the right players you could make the play.
Vice President Nixon decided to follow the Coaches advice when he ran for Governor of California. But it didn't work out for him. I hope he has a better team now that he is running for President. I know Coach Lombardi is behind him all the way.
Because you know that Politics and Football go together like Ham and Eggs.

Ray Nietzsche recalls the Glory Days in an old chirbit
Sixty Grit might get my chirbit humor, if he knows a little Packer lore. Theo Boehm would have gotten it.
Yuh huh, you put your flute keys in a system, pill-grum. Speaking of which, what ever happened to our own flute boy? Or Icepick, for that matter.
Theo the flute boy flounced off in high dudgeon because we were low life rubes who did not post up to his high standards.
I don't know about Icepick. He had his own thing and has other blogs he likes better I guess.
If there is better Flintstones porn being posted elsewhere then I guess TT was right to flounce off. Hmmph!
