Vince made a point of establishing good rapport with the Peck's Bad Boy of pro football Quarterback Sonny Jurgensen. 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.

Neutral deputies fled for their lives, others marooned on the speakers' dais spent a frantic quarter of an hour ducking missiles and wringing their hands.
