Apparently, my dad.  

Christ that's funny, especially the commentary afterwards about going to Belichek's for a highball.

I would have guessed Jaymo. 

Every time I imagine hanging out in Lombardi’s basement on Sunday night after a Packer victory someone asks me what I want to drink and I seize up like a motor with no oil because the sheer magnitude of what’s happening is too big to wrap my mind around. 

Easy answer, an Old Fashioned. 

Clears.  That's what I seem to remember them calling the vodka and/or gin drinks they poured in Vince's basement:  clears.

Yup, I remember Martinis being in the HBO documentary.

When I moved to WI my mentor always referred to an end of day as a “Clear One”. He lived in WI. He draduated from WI. His first son graduated from WI.  His second son graduated from WI. 

Clear One. It is written.

For me the easy answer would be root beer.  Back in the day I drink it when I could get some while watching Packer games.  

Baumeister Root Beer in the brown bottles

Hard to believe that there was a Lombardi story out there that so few knew about today with all the books, etc. Awesome story!
