a true NFL fan, much respect. Anyone who is a fan of anyteam should be able to respect Vince, he is beyond legendary status. Who knows where the nfl would be without him laying the ground work on what a championship team is all about. Even today you hear coaches from all sports, basketball, soccer, baseball, football, quote lombardi for inspiration.

It is very cool to have that in our pocket that Lombardi accomplishments as a Packers head coach and having the Super Bowl Trophy named after him...but there's a lot more to the NFL then that...George Hallas contributed a major amount to the game as well as many notable others.

As far as the NFL fan...with this whole lockout crap that we waiting to see...it really makes me question this league as it currently stands and it's disgusting...it's a terrible time to be a FAN of the NFL

It didn't say he was a Jets fan, but if he is then that's nice.

I would have believed it about a New York Giants fan, since Vince was the offensive coordinator for them. I wonder why the Jets fan?

Seems there is a 2nd group involved also.

Vince now belongs to "the ages". His stature transcends Green Bay.
