Vince Lombardi, the driving force behind the concept of a Super Bowl was a devout Christian. So devout, in fact, that he would not allow the Packers to play on Thanksgiving, as he believed they belonged at home with their families on that day!

Agreed about Lombardi, but didn't Alex Karras, Joe Schmidt, and the rest of the defense just tear them apart in 1962, on Thanksgiving Day? (Nov. 22, 1962)

The "Look Out Bart" block was established!
