Lombardi has an unaccountable soft spot for rakehells-a good thing, because Jurgensen, despite his off-the-field antics, can throw farther and more accurately than any other man in the game.

All told, Billy James commands 200,000 contributing followers. He spends an annual budget of $2,000,000 and broadcasts his theologically fundamentalist, politically conservative message over some 100 radio stations.
