Скачать или смотреть FROM SCHOOL TO SBLX: Seahawks' Schneider, Patriots' Wolf share an unexpected high school connection

Each team has a high-level executive who graduated from the same high school in Green Bay. Well, sort of.

"John went to Abbot Pennings (High School in De Pere), and then Eliot went to Notre Dame (Academy). But in 1990, Abbot Pennings, Premontre High School and St. Joe's Academy merged to become Notre Dame. So, it's all part of our heritage," said Ken Flaten, executive director of business at Notre Dame Academy.

John Schneider is the general manager for the Seattle Seahawks. Eliot Wolf serves as the New England Patriots' executive vice president of player personnel. It's the same role, just a different title.

"Having 32 positions, like you say, and having two of them from there, and having the connection and the relationship that the Packers have with the Green Bay community, both of them having worked together for the Packers. So, they'd gone on there and then got their chances to go elsewhere -- and look at how successful they are," said Flaten.

Flaten has worked at Premontre, and now Notre Dame Academy, since 1979.

"Both of these people, when they were kids, learned how to be people-oriented and to communicate and to be listeners and things like that because look what it's made them for their career," said Flaten.

So, what do you do when your career has been spent in a school that has two alumni competing against one another?
