Passing Into Eternity
So sad at the passing of the legendary Bart Starr. He was inspiring to me when I met him as a kid (as I express enthusiastically in the film), and I was happy to have met him again while filming the documentary. I even had the pleasure of exchanging emails with him after that. These … Continue reading
The Lambeau Leaper Himself
Great to see LeRoy Butler, the founder of the Lambeau Leap, at the Barron High School for a homecoming pep rally and inspirational talk. I just happened to be in the area when he was there, so I stopped in and gave him a copy of the Cheeseheads DVD. In return, he gave me a … Continue reading
The Marcol Miracle Game Ball
When Chester and I were at an event last summer, a couple came in with an official NFL game ball that they said was the actual ball the Chester had kicked & caught for the touchdown in the 1980 home opener against the Bears. From all evidence they had with them, it seems as if … Continue reading
Fun With Fundraisers UWBC
We did a show at the UWBC Campus in Rice Lake as a fundraiser for the Barron County Historical Museum (located in Cameron), since I’ve always been a big fan of that place, having been there dozens of of times in my youth. We raised a bit of money, had fun hanging with Chester Marcol, … Continue reading
No JJ Watts, But Lots Of Comfort
We had scheduled a show the weekend of the Texans game at Lambeau Field, but despite JJ Watts not playing as he was out for the season on injured reserve (the biggest reason for that weekend), we went ahead and had lots of fun with Chester, the staff at Comfort Suites, and the great people … Continue reading
The Sportsmen’s Bar (Ridgeland)
This one is a bit out of date as I misplaced the photos, but it’s also somewhat timeless being that it’s a Packer bar in Wisconsin. The Sportsmen’s Bar in Ridgeland has awesome burgers and bar food, and an even better collection of Packers memorabilia, plus some classic Northwoods collectables. And they should have some … Continue reading
Green Bay Legends Signing
Stumbled upon these from a while ago. I had the good fortune of being put in with Chester Marcol and Dave Robinson (both in the documentary) as well as several others from the Lombardi Era for a Legends signing event at the Green Bay Distillery. That was a great deal of fun, even if I … Continue reading
Favre The Hall Of Famer (in GB)
Well we all know he’ll be a Pro Football Hall Of Famer soon enough, but here are some shots from his appearance at Lambeau Field for his induction into the Green Bay Packers Hall Of Fame in 2015. Having been a Favre fan forever (excepting the Vikings years), I was so thrilled to be there … Continue reading
Brett Favre Forever A Packers Hall Of Famer
After all those years of never getting to see Brett Favre at Lambeau Field, I was determined to be at his induction into the Green Bay Packers Hall Of Fame (and number retirement). Thanks to my pal Steve “The Owner” Tate for getting me a ticket (it was sold out months ago). I would have … Continue reading
