Once Curly Lambeau cajoled a fan into selling his cream-colored Marmon roadster (for $1,500) to bail the team out of hock; in repayment, Lambeau allowed his benefactor to play one minute of one Packer game.

...industrial giant with assets of $503 million before retiring from active management in 1948 to start a second career. Buying some 100,000 acres in the Bahamas and Florida, he farmed some of the land, developed the rest, and before long had money coming in from resorts, housing, ice-cream plants, a shipping company and an airline...
