The Packers, richer by $15,000 a man, were already thinking about the future. Talk had it that several oldtimers would retire, among them Flanker McGee, a star for twelve years. But the biggest conjecture of all concerned Coach Lombardi, who in nine years has turned the Packers from the patsies of the N.F.L. into the most successful team in pro football history. One report had Lombardi giving up coaching but retaining his Green...
