Richard Sandomir of the New York Times reports that on Monday producers will announce plans to take a play based on the life of Vince Lombardi to Broadway. The play, adapted by a Packers fan, will be based on David Maraniss's respected Lombardi bio When Pride Still Mattered, a tome considered more nuanced than you'd expect given the mythical aura surrounding the legendary coach.Sadly, Lombardi will not be a musical, leaving open the gaping void of football-based showtunes in our cruel world. No beads on who will play the icon, and I'm afraid we won't be able to convince David Cross to put on 75 pounds to take the role. Sandomir reports the play could hit Broadway in late 2010. Time to open up a Wisconsin-to-NYC tour bus service, entrepreneurs.
