His wife, Marie, was a Republican, and the difference in political philosophies sometimes led to loud arguments, according to their daughter, Susan.

He called the coach to tell him he couldn’t get a furlough to be able to play in the NFL championship game against the Giants. Lombardi hung up, and called JFK.

Hornung rushed for 89 yards in that game, and scored 19 total points in Green Bay’s 37-0 win.
