Green Bay Packers History

Football Is Family is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Your Favorite Sport's Yesteryear.

EPISODE SUMMARY

There are times in life when you are humbled by what you don’t know. I thought I knew about the history of the Green Bay Packers. I thought I had an idea about the history of this great franchise. But I was wrong. This franchise has such a great amount of history, such a great amount of hall of fame players and coaches, and an amazing fan base that I am just humbled. The Green Bay Packers, the franchise located in the smallest market in the NFL, has its hands in the history of this great league, from the amount of titles it has won (Green Bay is known as Title Town for a reason), to the fact that the Super Bowl trophy is named after the Packers coach who won the first two Super Bowls, Vince Lombardi.

Growing up in Middle Tennessee, I didn’t have a pro football team that was close enough to me to feel a part of. My first memory of pro football was Super
Bowl 22. I picked the Broncos to win, and, even though they didn’t win, I followed them from that point on.

John Elway was (and is) my favorite player. I have played as the Broncos on Tecmo Bowl, Tecmo Bowl Super Bowl, Madden, and 2K Sports. I fondly remember the moments when the Broncos won Super Bowls 32 and 33.

Around this time, the Oilers came to Tennessee. I was hooked. I finally had a team just down the road from my home town of Bon Aqua. Oiler (and later Titans) mania hit this area. Jerseys, hats, footballs, merchandise, and several autographs later, I’m a Titans fan through and through.
It’s the dedication, the love, and the passion for football that helps me realize that football is family. Each fan base has a story, a history, and a love for their team. That’s what I want to talk about each and every podcast.
