  • Collecting Lombardi's Dominating Packers

    Collecting Lombardi's Dominating Packers

    Collecting Lombardi’s Dominating Packers BY DAVID LEE ince Lombardi called Lambeau Field his “pride and joy.” Specifically, the ground itself—the grass and the dirt. V He loved that field because it was his. He controlled everything that happened there. It was the home where Lombardi built one of the greatest sports dynasties of all-time. Fittingly, Lambeau Field was the setting for the 1967 NFL Champion- ship, famously dubbed “The Ice Bowl” before the game even started. Tem- peratures plummeting to 12 degrees below zero blasted Lombardi’s field. Despite his best efforts using an elaborate underground heating system to keep it from freezing, the field provided the perfect rock-hard setting to cap Green Bay’s decade of dominance—a franchise that bullied the NFL for nine seasons. The messy game came down to a goal line play of inches with 16 seconds left, the Packers trailing the Cowboys 17-14. Running backs were slipping on the ice, and time was running out. So, quarterback Bart Starr called his last timeout, and ran to the sideline to tell Lombardi he wanted to run it in himself. It was a risky all-in gamble on third down. “Well then run it, and let’s get the hell out of here,” Starr said Lom- bardi told him. The famous lunge into the endzone gave the Packers their third-straight NFL title (their fifth in the decade) and a second-straight trip to the Super Bowl to face the AFL’s best. It was the end of Lombardi’s historic run as Green Bay’s coach.

    Warburton, John Henry. (2010). Picture Radio

    ! ∀# ∃ !∃%& ∋ ! (()(∗( Picture Radio: Will pictures, with the change to digital, transform radio? John Henry Warburton Master of Philosophy Southampton Solent University Faculty of Media, Arts and Society July 2010 Tutor Mike Richards 3 of 3 Picture Radio: Will pictures, with the change to digital, transform radio? By John Henry Warburton Abstract This work looking at radio over the last 80 years and digital radio today will consider picture radio, one way that the recently introduced DAB1 terrestrial digital radio could be used. Chapter one considers the radio history including early picture radio and television, plus shows how radio has come from the crystal set, with one pair of headphones, to the mains powered wireless with built in speakers. These radios became the main family entertainment in the home until television takes over that role in the mid 1950s. Then radio changed to a portable medium with the coming of transistor radios, to become the personal entertainment medium it is today. Chapter two and three considers the new terrestrial digital mediums of DAB and DRM2 plus how it works, what it is capable of plus a look at some of the other digital radio platforms. Chapter four examines how sound is perceived by the listener and that radio broadcasters will need to understand the relationship between sound and vision. We receive sound and then make pictures in the mind but to make sense of sound we need codes to know what it is and make sense of it. Chapter five will critically examine the issues of commercial success in radio and where pictures could help improve the radio experience as there are some things that radio is restricted to as a sound only medium.
  • What the Packers Do to Keep Lambeau Field Special

    What the Packers Do to Keep Lambeau Field Special

    What The Packers Do To Keep Lambeau Field Special Source: www.TurfMagazine.com Look, but don’t touch the grass! You’ll not see a more attractive sward of Kentucky bluegrass anywhere. That it remains as lovely, green and weed-free even through the first months of winter in frigid Wisconsin is incredible. Even more remarkable, it gets an incredible amount of punishment. I’m referring to the playing field at Lambeau Stadium in Green Bay, of course. Whether you maintain grass in a busy park, on a college campus or on sports fields, you can appreciate the maxim – “Grass Grows by the Inch, But Dies by the Foot.” In this case, by the feet of 300-pound football players. “Don’t touch that grass,” Grant, our tour guide and a life-long season ticket holder, warned sternly as we came out of the tunnel from the Packers locker room. “If everybody who came here took a bit of the field we wouldn’t have any field left by the end of the season.” A small group of us green industry journalists got to check out the field thanks to Grant, our drill-sergeant gruff but also entertaining guide, and the generosity of The Ariens Company, headquartered in nearby Brillion, Wisconsin. There are a lot of things you can do at Lambeau Field — dine in a high-end restaurant, book parties and corporate events, visit the Green Bay Packers Museum, the Packers Pro Shop or do a Field Tour as we did. But, in the end, the thousands of people that come to historic Lambeau Field want to see its beautiful playing field.
