While I was a native of Chicago, my family moved to northern WI the Autumn after the Packers won their second Super Bowl. I was quickly forced to become steeped in the lore of the mighty Green and Gold, the greatest franchise in the history of football--and perhaps any other sport--and was soon awed by the tales of the men who played the game. Kramer pulled no punches and much of the material was beyond what an 8th grader should have been reading, but it was one hell of an education for this youngster and another book my mom likely should have perused before allowing me to read.
