Tobin was fired by Bart Starr as the Packers' director of pro scouting, so after he was hired by the Bears, for revenge he decoded the Packers' sideline signals prior to their game against Green Bay at Soldier Field. Result, 61-7 Chicago.

Larry Beightol, offensive line coach for the Falcons, Buccaneers, Chargers, Jets, Oilers, Dolphins, Packers, and Lions, died April 4 at age 81.
