What's a Packer fan to do during this time of uncertainty? Escape from it by reading, or re-reading as the case may be, Instant Replay, The Green Bay Diary of Jerry Kramer.
Actually, you don't have to be a Packer fan, or even a football fan, to enjoy Jerry Kramer's story of his life as a Packer during the 1967 season. Kramer's book is an engaging, and often funny, look at adults performing in pressure-filled jobs on a big stage.
In the introduction Kramer writes: "I want this diary to have a happy ending. After all, this isn't Hamlet, and I'm not Shakespeare. I'm a professional football player." Perhaps that's a sentiment to remember when considering Mr. Favre.
My 1968 edition of Instant Replay, left, pictures Jerry Kramer and Coach Vince Lombardi on the dust jacket's back cover. A new edition of the book was published in 2006.
