OK boys and girls, time for todays history lesson.

On Aug. 11, 1919, a score or more husky young athletes, called together by Curly Lambeau and George Calhoun, gathered in the dingy editorial room of the old Green Bay Press-Gazette building on Cherry Street and organized a football team. They didn't know it, but that was the beginning of the incredible saga of the Green Bay Packers.

Lambeau and Calhoun struck the initial spark a few weeks before, during a casual street-corner conversation. It was apparently a "Why not get up a football team?" remark, but once they were interested they wasted no time.

First they talked Lambeau's employer -- a war-time industry called the Indian Packing Company, where he worked as a shipping clerk for $250/month -- into putting up money for jerseys.

Because the company provided jerseys and permitted the use of its athletic field for practice, the club was identified in its early publicity as a project of the company. With this tie-in the name "Packers" was a natural, and Packers they have been ever since, although the Indian Packing Company had practically faded out of the picture before that first season was half over.


MM, welcome to the most sacred of NFL franchises. The only NFL franchise that is owned by the people and not a**holes like Jerry Jones. The only NFL franchise that has a 27 year waiting list to purchase season tickets. The only NFL franchise that has produced more NFL championships (12 dating back to 1929) than any other team in history.
I think the next closest team to them has 6 championships which I think is the Steelers or the Bears but I could be wrong. The Pats would have to win 9 more Super Bowls to be included in the same breath as the Packers records.

I'm somewhat of a fan.

James,
U of M? Michigan, right? Will the fact that Green Bay has an Appalacian State alumni on it's roster, keep you from ever pulling for the Pack? You were hoping to forget that right? Sorry. [/QUOTE]

Reid I beleive michigan got what they desrved with that lose. I have been trying to get rid of Carr since his first lost to the buckeyes. But that lose wasn't just his fault michigan tends to get their heads over inflated and they forget any team can win on any given saturday.

As far as the pack goes I like favre. He is a great quaterback. But so is brady. If they end up in the super bowl together I will be happy, because no matter the out come it's good with me as I like both teams. If you remember my home team is the lions so I have had to look for other teams to vote for, for many years now.

Thank you Pats D !

I'm sooo disappointed in Favre! What happened?
Tynes gave them plenty of chances to put the giants away.
Little Manning looked like he was playing on Miami beach compared to Brett.
Favre looked frozen and threw the ball the same way!

Not me. I've gone Switzerland. I'll watch, but I'm not really emotionally invested in either team. I might pull for the Giants, just cuz it is exciting to see the underdog rise up and beat the odds.

The Pack failed themselves. They were handed so many opportunities and didn't capitalize on enough of them.

<sigh>, Now excuse me while I weep....

Looks like that Pat's are going 19-0 because the Giant'd have nothing for them. Brady can look at it this way, he gets to kick the whole manning family's but in one year. Maybe they can send their sister or their mom to play next year... LOL
