That said, I’ve never heard anything about Gregg that would suggest such a thing. Lombardi called him the greatest player he ever coached.

Jerry Kramer said Lombardi’s “Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing,” was only half the quote. The rest of it was “So long as it’s done fairly, within the rules, written and unwritten.” It’s unfathomable to me that a man who spent nine years playing for Lombardi, and who impressed the coach to the degree that he did, would order such a thing.
