Packers-Cowboys rivalry
I love the idea of the Packers-Cowboys rivalry being back. But I wish the Packers had won tonight. I saw the ice bowl when I was eight and it remains an indelible memory. I'm not sure I fully appreciated what competitive sports was all about until I saw that game. I was only eight but I was balling on that last drive; tears of fear until Bart Starr went over from the 1, then it was tears of joy. My little head nearly exploded. Damnit I wish the Packers had won tonight.

That's a great story. The emotional investment of a child can be pretty touching.

I loved the Packers, Lombardi, Paul Hornung, Bart Starr, etc., when I was a kid. I was nine when I read Jerry Kramer's football memoir, Instant Replay, and Lombardi's, Run to Daylight.

The old NFL Films stuff of Lombardi and Hank Stram on the sideline are pure comedy gold.
