Man these guys were tough!! Got dirty, got hurt, blood, teeth knocked out....played in sub zero weather and had to deal with frost bite...ah, the good old days of the NFL! Love you Bob, one of the GOAT's.
What a great player. One of the best defensive tackles ever. Lilly had a combination of strength and quickness that was really rare for that position. If I had to pick an all time team I would pick him and Merlin Olsen as my defensive tackles.
Great player on a great team. Lombardi fooled him at the 11 yard line on the last drive. Gillingham pulled to the right and Lilly chased. Mercein ran a counter thru the vacated hole to the three, which set up the winning TD. I was there. Freezing.
Awesome interview, thanks so much for posting...I grew up in Cocoa Beach, Fl. in the (born in '57) 60's and 70's and as we had no team in Fl., I LOVED the Packers as a young boy, Paul Hornung, Bart Starr, Jerry Kramer and Herb Adderly were my fave players and then Shula showed up in Miami in '70 I became a huge Dolphins fan but I always respected Bob Lilly as a HOF talent player and a true gentleman. They beat my Dolphins in the '71 season SB, but the following year the Dolphins had their Perfect Season...great memories.
Simple Fact. The Packers were next level tough!! Vincent Thomas Lombardi forged a team of Blue Steel and Iron Hearts. All NFL players by definition are tough. The Packers simply elevated that time honored Badge of Courage to an art form. "We reached down. And we found a little Lombardi," in Jerry Kramers immortal words. The Packers "FOUND LOMBARDI" in every post season game they appeared In after the 1960 Championship game. NINE DIFFERENT TIMES REACHING INTO THE WELL AND FINDING GOLD!! This encounter in Lombardis next to last game elevates them to a team for the ages. Playing under the worst conditions ever dredged up by Mother Nature, they marched more than 60 yards on that final drive to glory. The Lombardi Packers were simply a team like no other.

Love hearing Bob Lilly! Sound is low, except for sound effects which blew out my speakers.

What an INCREDIBLE man and human being!!!!!!!
Bob Lilly is a legend, great interview, thank you!
Even today you can see how tough of a man/player Bob Lilly is. He was a beast on the defensive line.
Just surviving the Ice Bowl was a win.
Great story from a great football player
Thanks for setting the sound so low I had to put it on 10 and then the permanent ear damage for the deafening bang at the end. Nice touch.
Bob Lilly is the definition of a man's man.

The cold weather game for all time
More volume on Bob's mic, please.
I’ve heard Jethro Pugh’s frostbite was so bad it split open the skin on his fingers, and ever after, cold weather of any sort was painful.
Lilly was a great player. Always respected him
Leroy Jordan said cold weather bothered his hands several years after that game.
