Vince Brings Green Days to Green Bay
By Tex Maule
It’s been a little while since the last ROL. I had another article lined up, recorded and ready to debut, but there was a bit of a snafu and I had to pivot some. Nonetheless, I’m very excited to reveal the next selection! We will be turning away from music to focus on one of my true loves in this world (besides my family and friends, of course) – the Green Bay Packers.
With the Super Bowl this coming Sunday I thought it would be appropriate to highlight the man the very trophy is named after – Vince Lombardi.
So, please enjoy my narration of a Sports Illustrated article from 1959 highlighting Lombardi’s first year coaching the Packers, written by Tex Maule. At the time of the writing, the Packers were surprisingly undefeated on the season with a 3-0 record and starting to get some attention throughout the country...an inquisitive, “What’s going on out there….?”
Speaking of the famous question often shouted at the sidelines by the legendary Lombardi, I tried to get in character a bit for this one and give my shot at Lombardi’s voice with his quotes. I’m interested to see what you think.
As always, thanks so much for listening. If you have an article that you think would be cool to narrate – hit me up! Send me an email – joseph.scalora@gmail.com
Go Pack Go.
