Family

The Lombardi Family was like any other family you would see. They had their share of family squable's, sibling rivalries arguments, etc. These are several incidents that happened.

• During their family dinner Lombardi's son said he was going to college to become a fitness education teacher because he wanted to be a football coach. Lombardi responded saying "okay, but I'm not paying your college funds for you". He said this because Lombardi wanted his son to become a lawyer.
• Lombardi's kids were practically at each other's throats. his son would chase his daughter into room for something little, She put tacs on her brother's bed underneath the sheets so after he was done with football practice he would be stabbed with tacs. He would chase her outside with a metal baseball bat.
• When Lombardi and his wife went out there would be a couple times where he would yell at her usually saying shut up Marie! One time while they were out with the team she got this small ice cream dish while everyone else got pie. He yelled at her "Goddamn it, Marie! When your're with the team, you eat what the team eats."
• At one point Marie told the team a secret she found out through of the years if he was on your case he seen something in you, if not then it meant you were a goner.

Football

football meant alot to Lombardi. He told the team that if he heard any racial slur about any of the other players that they wouldn't be on the team any longer. Lombardi would say that there were no barriers and that his team was equal, racially and socially. He wanted his team to be treated fairly.

Religion

Lombardi cared a lot about his religion. he was mostly into doing prayers. It was his essence of his religious practice and his daily routine. He would carry old black beads in his coat pocket and would rub them while uttering Hail Marys and Our Fathers, he reciverd them at Cathedral Prep. When the Packers didn't have a game that sunday Lombardi would be at church. The preist, Pastor would always know when he was there just his presence was enough to give him away and they could not look at him because they too would get intimidated
