What a career, and he’s not done yet

What a career, and he’s not done yet


Vic refused to consider writing a book (and as far as I know, he hasn’t). Would any of you consider writing one? Fiction or non-fiction? “From Platteville to Pro Bowl: The Spoff Story” or “Hod: Older Than He Looks”? Has Larry ever mentioned writing a book? Or reading an audio book?

With Majik’s magic, every game seemed winnable that year.

Actually the Packers’ only playoff chance that year, as it turned out, was as NFC Central champ, because they tied with the Vikings at 10-6 and both NFC wild-card teams (Eagles and Rams) were 11-5. Green Bay, which split its two games with Minnesota, lost the tiebreaker to the Vikings based on division record. But there was no stopping the Niners that year regardless. They…
