Pertaining To The Fur Stole (Issue 3)
After winning the Western Division title of the National Football League in 1961, Vince Lombardi bought and distributed fur stoles to the wives, friends, and mothers of each player on the team. Hornung's mother received the stole in 1961. The stoles were reported by the Packers as "Other Unallowable Deductions" and were described as "Awards to players' wives, etc." The stoles were valued at $395 per stole, less an 8-percent bulk discount.
Hornung did not report any gross income with respect to the stole given to his mother.

And dressed myself in such humility
That I did pluck allegiance from men’s hearts,
Loud shouts and salutations from their mouths,
Even in the presence of the crowned King.”
