Instant Replay
The Green Bay Diary of Jerry Kramer
About the book
Written by Gerald L. Kramer with Dick Schaap, the diary follows the Green Bay Packers through the 1967 season, from training camp to their win in Super Bowl II, from a player's point of view. Kramer, then a 31-year-old Packers lineman playing his tenth season with the club, began it hoping to understand what kept pulling him back to pro football. He gives a detailed account of the Ice Bowl, the championship game against the Dallas Cowboys in which he made the crucial block on the climactic play, and a rare close view of coach Vince Lombardi. The book went on to sell millions of copies.
Tyler Cowen said sports memoirs like this one first got him thinking about how character, work habits and teamwork relate to success.

I also consumed numerous sports memoirs, such as Jerry Kramer’s Instant Replay: The Green Bay Diary of Jerry Kramer and also the war memoir Guadalcanal Diary. From those I began to think about the relationships between character, work habits, teamwork, and success.
