More than any other sports figure, Vince Lombardi transformed football into a metaphor of the American experience. The son of an Italian immigrant butcher, Lombardi toiled for twenty frustrating years as a high school coach and then as an assistant at Fordham, West Point, and the New York Giants before his big break came at age forty-six with the chance to coach a struggling team in snowbound Wisconsin. His leadership of the Green Bay Packers to five world championships in nine seasons is the most storied period in NFL history. Lombardi became a living legend, a symbol to many of leadership, discipline, perseverance, and teamwork, and to others of an obsession with winning. In When Pride Still Mattered, Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Maraniss captures the myth and the man, football, God, and country in a thrilling biography destined to become an American classic. David Maraniss is an associate editor at The Washington Post and a distinguished visiting professor at Vanderbilt University. He has won two Pulitzer Prizes for journalism and was a finalist three other times. A Good American Family is his twelfth book. May be the best sports biography ever published.

It takes a special person to love something unattractive, someone unknown. That is the test of love. But can you accept someone When Pride Still Mattered: A Life of Vince Lombardi his inabilities? And maybe you will do something more to overcome a difficult situation in football because of that love. There is a vast difference between a good sport and a good loser. To dilute the will to win is to destroy the purpose of the game. The nuptial mass was performed by the Reverend Jeremiah F. She believed, as he did, in the sacredness and lifelong commitment of marriage. She told herself that she would have to adjust. Football coach was not what Harry and Matty had expected of their son, nor what his old classmates had predicted. In some ways it was a job below his own self- image. All of which worked in his favor. During his years in Englewood, Lombardi was driven by a contradiction, consumed by a sport and somewhat embarrassed that it was considered merely a game. Football as religion. The T a catechism from which he preached. And God was in the details. There was a direct line from one to the next, from religion to the military to football, from the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius to the football regimen of Colonel Blaik. Both emphasized discipline, order, organization, planning, attention to detail, repetition, the ability to adjust to different situations and remain flexible in pursuit of a goal while sustaining an obsession with one big idea. He alone among the men of the four great Fordham front walls emerged as a large enough figure later in life to carry the legend. But this was also the work of the storytellers. Grantland Rice and Damon Runyon and their brethren glorified the line above all others, and their fraternal heir, Tim Cohane, continued the tradition. The problem with the storytellers was not their exaltation of myth, but their pursuit of the ideal to the exclusion of reality, allowing for the perpetuation of the fallacy of the innocent past. It teaches the strong to know when they are weak and the brave to face themselves when they are afraid. To be proud and unbending in defeat, yet humble and gentle in victory. To master ourselves before we attempt to master others. To learn to laugh, yet never forget how to weep, and it gives a predominance of courage over timidity. Each week there is a new encounter, each year there is a new challenge. But all of the display, all of the noise, all of the glamour, and all of the color and excitement, they exist only in the memory. But the spirit, the will to excel, the will to win, they endure, they last forever. These are the qualities, I think, that are larger and more important than any of the events that occasion them.

He and his son Steve had been working pro football championships for NFL Films sinceand every year he was nervous, as if he had never done this before. Were his cameras in the right locations? Would there be a dramatic story line? Would the weather create problems again? By seven on the morning of December 31,he already had been awake for two hours, and now he was standing at the window of his hotel room, staring out into the northern darkness. Friday seemed unforgiving in Green Bay, with heavy snow and a fierce wind, but on Saturday there was a brilliant winter sun and the temperature had soared toward thirty. Local forecasters had predicted more of the same for today's one o'clock game. The telephone rang. Steve, who had been asleep in the other bed, fumbled for the receiver. Now have a nice day. The phone at Paul's Standard station on South Broadway had started ringing at five that morning, and the overnight man couldn't handle it, so Paul Mazzoleni went in himself and took to the streets with his tow truck and jumper cables. One of his first stops was at Willie Wood's. The free safety was standing next to his dead car, shivering, convinced that even when Mazzoleni brought his frozen battery back to life he was not going anywhere. They're not going to play in this. Had he really just heard someone say it was thirteen below? He must have misunderstood. Wasn't it near thirty when he went to bed? He called the airport weather station to see if he had been dreaming. It's thirteen below and it may get colder. His colleague called at seven with the question, "Lee, do you know what the temperature is? Go look at the thermometer. As soon as he stepped out of his downtown apartment on Washington Street, he knew this was serious. I could tell by the first stride that this was damn cold. The sound has got a different crunch to it. As he and his editor, Bob Gutwillig, When Pride Still Mattered: A Life of Vince Lombardi their wives were driving downtown for breakfast, Schaap noticed the temperature reading on the side of a bank.

    VOICES OF EXPERIENCE 2007SUMMARY ANNUAL REPORT These Voices of Experience are the people Bank Mutual is fortunate to work with every day. They are respected experts in their field, whether that be pouring concrete, broadcasting, or developing and managing commercial real estate. They look for that same level of experience and expertise in their financial partner, and they find it at Bank Mutual. We invite you to read what they have to say about their experiences with Bank Mutual through the years. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Letter to Shareholders 4. Additional Financial Perspectives 6. Detailed Financial Highlights 8. Voices of Experience On the cover John Kersey. See page 15 for his story. Inset photo: Courtesy of the Milwaukee County Historical Society. LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS For the year ending December 31, 2007, diluted earnings per share were $0.31, a decrease of 8.8 percent from 2006 earnings of $0.34 per share. Earnings totaled $17.1 million for the year, compared to $20.6 million in 2006. These calculations reflect our ongoing stock repurchase program, through which nearly 11 million shares were purchased in 2007. At the same time, we rewarded shareholders with dividends four times this year, marking the 28th consecutive quarterly dividend since going public in 2000. The total cash dividends for 2007 were $0.33 per share, an increase of more than 13 percent over the previous year. While it is not customary for cash dividends to be greater than earnings for the year, we found ourselves in a strong capital position and felt that continuing and increasing these payments to shareholders was a preferred strategy for deploying our excess capital.
