Green Bay Packers - a history look back
The Green Bay Packers was founded by Earl "curly" Lambeau in 1919 and this is the Lambeau in Lambeau field and is the only major sports team that is community owned team in North America and 12 NFL Championship (9 NFL championship and 3 Superbowl rings) while the Packers hold the record for the most home wins in a roll @ 30 between 1929 and 1931 seasons where they one all 3 championship during this time. Don Hutson, a receiver for the Packers, lead the league with receptions in 8 seasons in his 11 seasons as a Packers and the most famous Packer of all is Vince Lombardi who brought 5 championships in 7 seasons which included the first two ever superbowl trophies and the the Superbowl trophy was then renamed it the Lombardi trophy in his honor. The Stars of Lombardi era was Bart Starr, Jim Taylor, Carroll Dale, Paul Hornung, Forrest Gregg, Jerry Kramer, Willie Davis, Henry Jordan, Willie Wood, Ray Nitschke, Dave Robinson, and Herb Adderley. The the Packers fateful a quarter of century after this run to recapture the glory that is success and it was brought back by Ron Wolf in 1992 when he hired Mike Holmgren and then made a trade with the Falcons for a quarterback named Brett Farve and the next season the minister of Defense Reggie White was brought in as a free agent and then lost three seasons in a roll to the Dallas Cowboys. Then in 1996 the Packers won Superbowl XXXI for their third ring but then lost their first Superbowl the next season losing to the Denver Broncos with Terrell Davis and John Elway and then Brett Favre continued to play every game while the players around him moved in and out of Green Bay including Wide Receiver Sterling Sharp. Then the next great Packer quarterback was drafted with the 24th pick of the 2005 draft named Arron Rogers and he will be in his first ever Superbowl on Sunday and the future looks good for the Packers in the near future
Cheese heads unite for the big game and maybe # 4 ring
