Super Bowl 1 and 2 era Lombardi center Ken Bowman died. He started into the mid 70s under Larry "The Rock" McCarren took his gig. Larry still calls Packer games for the team and was a local sports anchor in Green Bay for decades.
Anyway... Bowman replaced Jim Ringo in one of the more famous Lombardi stories. Ringo had been to 6 or 7 straight pro bowls. He came into Lombardi's office with a lawyer/agent to talk about a new deal. Lombardi stood up and said "Hold on a second" and left the room. He came back a few mins later and said "You are talking to the wrong guy, I just traded you to the Eagles."
Ringo made 10 pro bowls in all.
Ken Bowman, who recently died at age 81, doesn't get the same volume of credit as Jerry Kramer for the most famous block in Green Bay Packers history.
