It all comes down to this! In this episode, our hosts discuss the end of Vince Lombardi’s life, and they prepare to reflect on whether or not Vince merits the title of holy donor.

We discussed Vince’s retirement at the end of the last episode, and we start this episode with Andrew highlighting the reasons Vince chose to retire when his team was on top. The stress of perfection finally became too much, and Vince retired to ease his mental and physical pain. After a while, he questioned his decision to retire, and he returned to coach the Washington Redskins for a year before ultimately succumbing to cancer in 1970.

The episode closes as our hosts reflect on Vince’s life and legacy. Vince was certainly a man of contradictions on and off the football field. Yet, the most pressing question remains - was Vince Lombardi a holy donor? What do you think? Join us next week to find out what our hosts decided!
