Anyone can support a team that is winning - it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage.Collection: Courage

We, all of us, could do a much better job of evoking what someone has called the universal principle of human altruism: the urge in us all to help others who are in danger.
I was just one part of a great team.
If you work harder than somebody else, chances are you'll beat him though he has more talent than you.
It takes me about a week and a half to really analyze a game - play by play.
During the course of my football and business careers, I have had the great honor of meeting and associating with many outstanding leaders.
I wish we could get a national buddy network going. It would be a great thing for the American people.
I grew up in a military family, so I liked being in an atmosphere where there was almost that feeling.
My dad was a career military man, so I had that kind of discipline and training.
I hadn't trained to be a coach. That takes great training. Being an assistant under a Coach Lombardi or a Tom Landry or whoever, that prepares you to do a better job when you become a coach. I hadn't received that training. It showed.
Sometimes when I watch a game, there are often more wide receivers on the field than we had on our whole team.
We avoided injuries that season. It was our fourth year with Vince, so we all knew just what he wanted. And a lot of our core guys were in their prime. It was an incredible season.
My father - who was a master sergeant and the toughest man I've even known - next to him, Coach Lombardi was a piece of cake.
I had fallen in love with Cherry as a junior in high school. When I discovered she was going to go to Auburn, I was vacillating between Alabama and Kentucky because of Babe. I eliminated Kentucky because I wanted to be as close to Auburn as I could, and Tuscaloosa is a lot closer than Lexington is.
I love coming back to Wisconsin. Lambeau Field is such a special place - a lot different than the old city stadium next to East High School when I first arrived in 1956. The facilities were nothing like they are today, as the Packers were in tough financial times.
It's a joy to help others. One of our longtime favorites is Rawhide Boys Camp, located 45 miles west of Green Bay.
Going back to coach in Green Bay was the biggest mistake I ever made in my life. I was approached by the organization, and it turned out to be an enormous mistake. I was extremely disappointed. I disappointed the Packers and their fans.
I would hope people remember the playing days first, and not the coaching years.
Being part of a team that was so unselfish was amazing. What we were able to accomplish was very meaningful, and the fact we were able to get it done as a team.
My dad was the toughest man I've ever known in my life. He intimidated me. he was my Master Sergeant.
My dad was a fabulous role model. I wanted to be just like him.
I was fascinated by Harry Gilmer and wanted to learn to throw the ball just like him.
You look at the quality players and look at the leadership we had, and it's easy to understand why we won.
I really think just the honor of playing on five championship teams in seven years is the best thing.
I'd like to pay tribute to what are unquestionably the world's greatest fans. They are very loyal and very rabid. And I had the time of my life when I played in front of them.
I've been the luckiest football player ever.
A person can't brood over one mistake, or waste time feeling sorry for himself, or take on any sort of persecution complex. Today I realize that once you have made a mistake, you must accept it, profit by it, and then totally dismiss it from your mind.Collection: Sports

My dad never pushed me but the big thing is that he helped me by going out in the backyard and playing with me.Collection: Dad
Coach Lombardi showed me that by working hard and using my mind, I could overcome my weakness to the point where I could be one of the best.Collection: Nfl
