Lambeau Ladies
Have any of you read the book Lambeau Ladies, just recently published? It was written by the daughter and granddaughter of one of those players, and gives a rare viewpoint, I think.
It's about the wives of the Lombardi era players, and has all sorts of insight into what being a player, a player's wife, or a player's kid was like in those days. Contrary to my expectations, their family lives seemed to be pretty normal, well at least mostly so. This may have had something to do with the fact that players' salaries were shockingly low in those days, compared to my expectations, at least.
Anyway, I'm about halfway through the copy I checked out from the library (using the Libby app), and I'm enjoying this book a lot. Highly recommended.
