- Which three Packers players or coaches, alive or passed, would you want to join your golf foursome and why?
Dennis from Parrish, FL
My three favorite Packers the last forty years are Sterling Sharpe, Eddie Lacy, and Jordy Nelson. I am pretty sure Sterling is a golfer. The other two I have no idea. If it's a scramble foursome, maybe I can drain a few putts. Either way my expectations are that we would have a blast!
Ryan from Milwaukee, WI
To join my golf foursome, I'd pick Mason Crosby because I hear he's a really good golfer and that would be cool to see up close, Bill Schroeder because we're both from Sheboygan and we could talk about all the great courses in the area, and Jordy Nelson because he seems like an all-around great dude who would be fun to play a round with. Also, a quick thanks to all the Outsiders and Insiders for making this column such a fun read. Go Pack Go!
Dominic from Chesapeake, VA
Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson and Clay Matthews. It would be fun playing 18 holes of golf with those three and hearing stories about the 2010 Super Bowl season and their time together.
Tom from Antigo, WI
Reggie White, Bart Starr and Jordy Nelson…three great players but more importantly great human beings. With so much strife and complaining in society, it would be great to spend some time golfing and talking to three great, faith-filled men.
Margeaux from Tallahassee, FL
Max McGee, Fuzzy Thurston and Paul Hornung for an afternoon foursome at Interlacen CC in Minneapolis to allow them to sleep off the night before. This to be followed by a bit of nightlife at "The Left Guard" in order to see the great men operate in an afterhours setting per their reputations.
James from Appleton, WI
Given my low level of golfing ability and my ongoing balancing act between enjoying a good walk and curmudgeonly irritability, I would like to see Coach Lombardi, Fritz Shurmur and Gilbert Brown walking that same fine line. Probably only Vince would care about the score, and we'd never lose track of where the refreshment cart was.
Ken from Palm Springs, CA
I've caddied for Vince Lombardi so add to him Bart Starr, and Paul Hornung.
Mike from Franksville, WI
I'm really interested in the early 1970s teams with John Brockington, Willie Buchanon, and others, so I'd love to golf with that coaching staff. I'd choose Red Cochran because the man had no filter and had seen a lot in Green Bay. I'd also pick Don Doll. The secondary was such a strength on those teams, and he seemed pretty revered by his DBs. And obviously, I'd choose Dan Devine. The man had both strengths and weaknesses as Head Coach/GM, so I'd love to chat and see what made him tick.
Tom from Germany
Bart Starr, my all-time favorite player and childhood hero; Vince Lombardi, because I think it would be interesting to get his take on life, the universe, and everything; Reggie White, to minister to my soul.
John from Stevens Point, WI
"All-inclusive" deal at Sentry World. Billy Schroeder (If it's a scramble foursome, I want to be hitting wedges into Par 4s and have a good chance of getting on Par 5s in two), Lombardi (just to hear his voice in person. I want to hear him say, "What the hell is going on out here" after I miss a 5-foot birdie putt), James Lofton (The best Packer when I came of age. I'd thank him for giving his best for bad teams), and Mason Crosby (good stick!).
Lee from Citrus Heights, CA
John Brockington, Jordy Nelson and Gilbert Brown. While I never got to really see much of Brockington, I followed his game stats with great anticipation; plus he was in the transition period from Vince. Jordy because he seems to have a smile on all the time. Gilbert seems like a guy who has fun wherever he is.
Caleb from Knoxville, TN
Give me a golf course and Mike Daniels, Jaire Alexander and David Bakhtiari. The chaos would be legendary.
Patrick from Forest Lake, MN
I would have Mark Tauscher, Bryan Bulaga, and John Kuhn to round out my foursome. With me on the team, we aren't in contention for any prizes or awards and this way we can just have a good time while knocking a few back.
Barry from De Pere, WI
Don't golf but would love a four-handed poker game with Lombardi, Ted Thompson, and Jeff Hafley just to see their competitive minds at work.
Will from Rochester, MN
I would golf with Max McGee, Paul Hornung and Bart Starr. To hear about the night before the first Super Bowl would be incredible. Bart would make sure we finished 18.
Dustin from Kansas City, MO
I'm not a real big golfer, but I do enjoy golfing while I drink. With that in mind, I'd love to play a round with David Bakhtiari, Arron Rodgers, and Max McGee. We're going to have us a party on the links!
Jordan from San Antonio, TX
Packers to fill out my foursome: Rodgers, I met him at a course in California right after the Super Bowl win. He signed my Packers golf bag and was super cool to me and my buddies in the grill. Donald Driver, his book is one of the best pieces of literature I have ever read and the first jersey I ever bought myself. Bakhtiari, he is my cart partner and we keep the drinks flowing.
Bob from Bement, IL
Paul Hornung, Max McGee and Ray Nitschke. If one of them can't make it, then add Fuzzy Thurston, or at least have him drive a companion beverage cart. You really expect me to cite why on this group?
Jim from Las Vegas, NV
Vince Lombardi (would love to see how he deals with his own bad shots/mistakes), Aaron Rodgers (can you imagine eavesdropping on the football talk between him and Vince!) and James Lofton (I was 12 when he was drafted; enough said!). I hate when a round of golf goes over 4 1/2 hours...I would want this one to last 10.
Sam from Oregon, WI
I haven't touched a golf club since probably middle school, so in building out an Outsider Inbox golf foursome my priority is picking guys who I think won't rag on me too much between sand traps. Going strictly off vibes I get from their media appearances, my picks are Jerry Kramer, Donald Driver, and Micah Hyde. Honorable mention to the guys who were obsessed with Catan in the mid-2010s, as I'd be up for some board game action after I've given up on finding my errant golf balls.
Eric from York, PA
Paul Hornung, Frankie "Bag o Donuts" Winters and Aaron Rodgers. Hornung for stories from the early run of success, Frankie just because his stories are legendary and Aaron because he might be the best Packers golfer ever.
Kevin from Aurora, IL
Jim Taylor, Paul Hornung, and Bart Starr, because I "won" a framed picture of the three of them (separate photos within the same frame) and would like to get their signatures on it. Plus, Starr's the first jersey I ever had was gifted to me for Christmas when I was about five years old.
Jeffrey from Taylors, SC
Curly Lambeau, Bart Starr, and Eddie Lacy, there would be three different eras of Packers to share ideas, accomplishments, and dreams.
Michael from Signal Mountain, TN
My initial reaction was the quarterback triumvirate of Starr, Favre and Rodgers. Strategy talk might be over my head, but I would be fascinated! Then I thought that Jerry Kramer, Taylor and Hornung reminiscing about their careers and the Packers sweep would be the ultimate for a long time (i.e. "old") Packers fan like me.
Mark from Canada
Totally selfish picks here. Although touted as a few of the greatest in Packers history on gameday, I have met each of my dream foursome on separate occasions. LeRoy Butler, Donald Driver and Mason Crosby are three of the best men to walk this planet, PERIOD! Getting to walk 18 holes with all three? Let's just say this old man can dream.
Jim from Baytown, TX
Easy – Brett Favre, Max McGee, and Charles Woodson. Can you imagine the stories and the smack talk? And you'd be expected to give as good as you got. What fun!!
Ron from Mitchell, SD
I'm not a good golfer, I go for fun – Gilbert Brown, Favre and good ol' South Dakota farm boy Tucker Kraft!
Jason from Sioux Center, IA
LeRoy Butler, Reggie White, Aaron Jones. These are three of my all-time favorite Packers players and I imagine they have a kind and encouraging personality to tolerate my golf game.
- What's your favorite football movie and why?
CJ from Waxahachie, TX
My favorite football movie is "Friday Night Lights." Being from Texas, there's nothing quite like small-town football communities.
Benjamin from Evergreen Park, IL
My favorite football movie is easily "Any Given Sunday!" Oliver Stone really gets into the drama of all layers of the NFL. Great characters in Cap Rooney and Willie Beamon. Al Pacino seems like a cross between Lombardi, Al Davis. I love that LT gets do a monologue.
Bill from San Antonio, TX
Favorite football movie: "North Dallas Forty." I'm sure there was a little artistic license with the practice scenes, but probably a little bit of truth. My favorite scene was O.W.'s (John Matuzak) rant at Coach Johnson (Charles Durning) after the loss. "When I call it a game, you call it a business," etc.
Kevin from Louisville, KY
I ruminated on this question and couldn't pick a true favorite, but I want to at least offer a shout-out to "The Best of Times," starring Robin Williams and Kurt Russell. It's a fun story of redemption with some hilarious moments. One of my favorite scenes is when the main characters agree to have a football-free dinner with their none-to-happy wives, only to position the TV in the adjacent room so they could monitor the game. So true to life.
Tom from Keota, IA
It's a goofy movie in a lot of ways (it's supposed to be), but "The Replacements" is one I'll watch whenever I stumble across it. Gene Hackman (RIP) was a genius in whatever he did, Keanu actually looked like he could play football, and the subject matter (strike-year replacement players) is fascinating. And there's truth in it – it takes miles and miles of heart to win in the NFL.
Jeff from Indian Lake, NY
Favorite football movie has to be "Remember the Titans." That movie has everything, it can make you laugh, make you cry and make you think. The cast is unbelievable, led by one of the all-time greats in Denzel Washington. The scene where he leads them on the punishing run to the Gettysburg battlefield gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. And the cherry on top is the soundtrack is awesome too, what's not to like!
Josh from Seattle, WA
Favorite football movie is definitely "Remember the Titans!" You've got great acting lead by Denzel! A great story that's based on truth. An incredible catchy dance and song that was ahead of its time. And just a ton of character!
Tom from Woodbury, MN
"Remember" the Titans is my favorite. The storyline shows how players with opposite personalities, opposing views and hatred toward each other come together to achieve a common goal. In the process it changes the players' lives for the better. The casting and acting is A-plus, as well.
Jan from Flat Rock, NC
Before "Draft Day," the Cleveland Browns were featured back in the 60s a movie called "The Fortune Cookie." My dad and his buddies got to be part of the extras during filming. They were also at the Browns/Vikings game that was used. He had some neat stories! We were too young to be part of the action, but I still look for him whenever the flick turns up on classic movie channels!
Barbara from Snellville, GA
"The Waterboy." I'm not a big Adam Sandler fan, but living in Louisiana at the time, this movie just cracked me up. Kathy Bates and her dislike of "foosball" is classic.
Kent from Duluth, MN
I have to go with one that is often excluded from the standard list of best football (or all sports) movies: "Brian's Song." It captures so much about the struggles and importance of the game, relationships, and the era of change taking place at that time. And most of all…emotion! Emotion is the key to so many things, and I'm sure it would be hard to find anyone that watched that movie that didn't have their emotions come through!
John from Belleview, FL
My favorite football movie is "Trouble Along the Way" with John Wayne. It deals with college football, an only references the very-young NFL in passing. But there's a key line in there. Filmed in 1953, John Wayne has the line, "Winning is everything. It's the only thing." I can't help but think Lombardi must have seen the film before he rose to fame.
Chris from West Allis, WI
How can it not be "Remember the Titans?" Not only is it Denzel at the peak of his power but that movie also captures all that is good about sports – people who wouldn't otherwise associate with each other coming together for a common purpose. I still remember this lesson from my high school sports team. I didn't spend time with most of those guys off the field, but when we played together, we all had each other's backs. It's a lesson we could use more of in our world, as they did in theirs.
David from Gainesville, VA
My favorite football movie is a tossup between "The Longest Yard" (original version) and "Leatherheads." One because of Burt Reynolds and the other because of George Clooney; both always entertain!
Matt from Middleton, WI
The original "Longest Yard." When Ray Nitschke took the second football to the tators, I was rolling on the floor laughing.
Phil from Port Washington, WI
"North Dallas Forty." Based on a book of the same name written by former NFL player Peter Gent, this thinly veiled critique of the Dallas Cowboys, and pro football in general, portrayed the drug and alcohol fueled side of football not talked or written about at the time. Memorable for some great performances and seeing "The Tooz" steal every scene he is in.
Graydon from Menomonie, WI
My favorite football movie is "North Dallas Forty" because it is about a football team from Dallas that celebrates too early in the big game, only to lose in the end. Sorry. Not sorry.
George from Nisswa, MN
My favorite football movie is the 1932 movie "Horse Feathers" with the Marx Brothers. I first watched it when I was a student at UW-River Falls in 1980. It is part-musical and comedy with a football theme. The Marx Brothers are great! I laughed through the entire movie. I'm sure not too many II readers have seen it. It's not on very often, but there aren't very many football movies out there that can make you laugh! Longtime Packers fan since 1960!
Larry from Carney, MI
Good morning. When it comes to favorite football movie, as for the reason I have no idea but two come to mind. "Rudy," which I can't count the number of times I've seen it because my wife, who doesn't watch sports, turns it on every time she sees it, and "Something for Joey," which I've only seen once in the 70s. I have yet to see "Green and Gold," but from the trailer I've seen, I will like it.
John from St. Albert, Canada
"Rudy." Why? Because having dreams is what makes life tolerable…A great inspirational movie that's perfectly suited to show on a youth team bus road trip.
Sam from Skokie, IL
Anything but "Rudy."
