David Maraniss
Lombardi’s Biographer
Two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Maraniss, whose bestsellers include biographies of Bill Clinton, Roberto Clemente, and the city of Detroit itself, discusses his blockbuster book on Vince Lombardi, When Pride Still Mattered, dispelling several myths about the legendary leader, including his reputation as a win-at-all-cost coach, and a tyrannical authoritarian. In fact, Lombardi believed in sportsmanship, fairness for all his athletes, and soliciting input from his players to create a better team. Lombardi’s fundamental values are as important today as ever.
