In 1967 Green Bay guard Jerry Kramer smuggled a
recorder into the locker room before Super Bowl II and taped, among other
speeches, Vince Lombardi's final locker room pep talk as coach of the Packers.
Lombardi, mind you, was no Brian Billick. "I had to do it in secret,"
explains Kramer, "because I knew my ass was grass if Coach caught me."
Last year Kramer unearthed the tapes while rummaging through boxes in his
garage, and now he's released the fly-on-the-wall recordings in a revealing
two-disc set, Inside the Locker Room. (Available at www.jerrykramer.com,
