Paup & Green - life after NFL

"A man wrapped up in himself is a pretty small package."

I don't know if Paup originated this quote but it's pretty profound.

Even more meaningful in Bert's case.

"A man with a small package is a pretty small package."

"A man with a small package is a postal worker."

"A man with a small package is a postal worker......and it arrives late and damaged"

interesting stuff on Paup. I didn't even know he was still around GB, doh!...

Paup has been on the Packers Board of Directors for the last few (5-6?) years; just one of very few former players to do so.
I'm also lucky enough to have a friend that attends the same church as the Paups do, and she has some very nice anecdotes about him that generally involve community service.
Just more reasons that I like him as an "All-Time Favorite"!
Big ol' corn-fed country boy. From Iowacheese's neck o' the woods, if I'm not mistaken.

Great to hear a out a guy who was considered stupid if unintelligent only to find out he was of a higher IQ but had a learning disability and was able to overcome it. I'll bet there are a lot of successful football players who fall into this category. It's a very cerebral sport and the men who play it hZve to be very gifted.
