This past week an important roundtable, “Sport and Society in America,” made up of Packers players and administrators of past days addressed a couple of really important issues: First, what it’s like to be a retired player and the transitions they experience; and why the hiring of coaching and administrators helped save the Packers franchise in the early 1990s.
Packers.com did a good job of providing a review of the highlights.
This symposium was long overdue and though highly underpromoted is something the Packers should do at least annually. Not only should they do a better job of promoting it to the general public, the team should live stream it and record it for future airing on television … it’s something that would make a great addition to the NFL Network.
This was an important gathering that I think everyone should take a look at by clicking here.

I am an award-winning journalist and photographer and have been editor of two weekly newspapers in northern Wisconsin for the past 23 years.
My love of the Green Bay Packers moved me to write columns for select websites in the mid- to late-1990s under the pen name of Apackphan. The opportunity to continue with lombardiave.com under that same pen name has been rewarding. Getting back into blogging has allowed me to renew the love of a team I have followed since I was a young boy.
