For more than 30 years, the church(Diocese of Green Bay) handled much of the game’s business-related tasks, including game program and advertising sales, using a network of volunteers covering 14 Northeastern Wisconsin counties. The Packers assumed many of those tasks in 1994.

By the way, Coach Mike McCarthy is a daily Mass goer like Coach Vince Lombardi was. More on the Packers Catholic connection.

Someday, get the book "When Pride Still Mattered"--a bio of Lombardi.
In that book, the author reproduced Lombardi's senior thesis (?) from his Fordham college days.
You will be delighted with what he wrote. "Good Old Days" Jesuit stuff, straightforward, solid, and CATHOLIC.
I highly recc the book to you and your readers!
Yup, I own it and read it. A great book.
... That was actually the first comment you posted on my blog talking about that book I think. How time flies. Good game tonight btw.
