STERLING SHARPE NEEDS TO BE IN HALL OF FAME

[@stormymaiden]

By far.......

[@davidhickman3857]

They didn't even mention his record setting season receptions .

[@jaymunger5333]

He made Brett Favre. Gave him his start. Made Majkowski look great and made me a Packers Fan. He ignited that return

[@user-xw3vw3nk9l]

So Troy brown should be ? He was great for a few years I can list many of wr who put up numbers....

[@jeffscharpf]

Totally agree! He was the best in the league then he got hurt. As much as I am grateful to Holmgren Favre and Reggie, I always felt like Sterlling did not get the respect and accolades. He made Favre

[@Jordan-lr1vo]

I am so glad Leroy Butler got his roses and be inducted into the hall of fame. He was so underrated.

[@bradleybrown8399]

How in the actual fluck do you call a hall-of-famer underrated? You sound like a real clown.🤪

[@Tyrunner0097]

Nothing will ever match those years from 1994-97. As a grade-schooler, watching the Packers those days, there was something magical about that team during those seasons. I knew the names of virtually all the Packers those days. Not just Favre, Freeman, Reggie, and LeRoy, but also guys like Travis Jervey, Mark Prior, don Beebe, Frank Winters (Ol Bag O'doughnuts), and even Jeff Thomason and Bob Kuberski. It was truly Packer fever. Every Friday before the game, or Monday during school if they were playing Monday night, EVERYONE was wearing Green n' Gold. Super Bowl XXXI, my family, and my grandparents, all watched it together, and we went nuts on desmond's kickoff return touchdown. It was such a great night, 3 generations of our family all watching a Packers Super Bowl win together. Green n Gold Till I'm dead n Cold!

[@k.p.5736]

You must be my kids age , and your right myself and my boys had the time of our lives those years ..

[@RobertEustace]

So true about those special years 1994-1997... such a sustained period of magic, joy and success - the Packers haven't really witnessed since.

[@jski7355]

Well I guess that I might be considered a " long time Packer fan Going back to when I barely understood football Lille Blackburn and " Scooter" McLean and his 1 - 10 - 1 record in 56 ??? Before this guy Lombardi arrived in Green Bay . Coach Vince I believe took the fledgling Packers to the playoffs and barely lost to the Eagles as time expired and GB was in the " Red Zone " as I recall a tackle by Chuck Bednarik on Jim Taylor . I could be wrong but I was only 8 years old at the time . But a coach by the name Lombardi was " Called " to GB . And a resurrection occured !!! GB was renamed " Titletown " During Saint Vincent's arrival . However , the NFL merged with the old AFL to create a game billed as the World Championship Game ! It turned out to be perhaps the biggest of any single sporting game . And still continues to be heard in every country across the globe . Wow I was fortunate enough to be in attendence for SB 2 in Miami FLA .I Believe the ticket was 20 ??dollars or less . It would turn out to be a very significant day in Packers history .It was St Vin's last game at the Packs HC .BUT no one , no one would believe it would be 3 decades till the Pack returned to the ultimate game in professional sports . It's so complicated to get the perfect chemistry of players and coaches to be assembled to get that ultimate goal of being in the the best in the world This clip shows how that combination of players / coaches are so difficult to attain and even more difficult to repeat in the reality of Free Agency / Salary Cap era . The 90s era in GB was vital as far as what happen if GB continued as the doormat of the NFC north Let alone the entire NFC . As I approach my 8 th decade of being a true Packer Backer I Know the post # 12 era will be transitional but all things come to an end . I ll still back up the youth that will represent us in 2023 . Stay loyal it won't be easy but that's the name of the game " Refuse to lose . '

Watching the Packers from 1993 -1998 was the most enjoyment I ever had as a sports spectator.

[@theskeptic2010]

Not a fanatic GB fan, but this team has always fascinated me because they are essentially the last of the "town teams" that made up the early NFL. So much history in this franchise.

[@teegegaming]

[@scubaman6]

Favre was the reason I started to watch football again. It was fun watching someone who was having fun winning and playing.

[@timperry6948]

Same here! As a Canadian, I mostly watched hockey and the early '90s Toronto Blue Jays. The Brett Favre trade was what drew me into NFL football and the Packers.

[@tharengore7215]

Same it was Favre and Reggie for me as well.

[@ikkenhisatsu7170]

Me, too!

[@timgopackgogopackgo3799]

Favre was also the reason so many Packer fans had heart attacks with gut wrenching interceptions....but the wins were awesome!

[@Nedemis]

I worked at Lambeau Field the year the Atrium was added. I had the extraordinary privilege to meet Bob Harlen and be the bartender selected to work his personal and professional events. Getting to meet Mike Sherman and loads of the players while working there are memories I will always cherish. The Green Bay Packers organization is one of a kind, and the legendary players who have worn the Green and Gold have been exceptional examples on and off the field.

Trading for Brett Favre was the best decision Ron Wolf made hands down. Best franchise changing trade ever.

What makes the Green Bay Packers such a huge hit is their team doesn’t just represent the town they play in, they represent the entire state of Wisconsin. That and it’s like a College Football atmosphere more than Pro. It’s so neat that place is!

Smallest market in the NFL for the longest time and never moved. In an eras where teams moved for bigger stadiums, bigger audiences, better tv, the Packers have always been in Wisconsin. They played Milwaukee and Madison for some games but they are the Green Bay Packers.

[@The_Good_Life_starts_today]

In 2005, my son and I flew from Los Angeles to attend our first Packer game. It was late by the time the plane landed but we wanted to drive by Lambeau Field even before we went to our hotel. Luckily the Atrium was still open, and we excitedly entered. There were only a handful of people walking around when I looked over and saw a gentleman in a long trench coat, standing alone peering out a window into the darkness. I knew immediately that it was Ron Wolf! I grabbed my son, walked over to him and started chatting. I was a conversation that maybe lasted two minutes, but he signed a few items and took a few pictures. He was so kind to take the time to talk to a couple of fans... boy what a night. Ron Wolf exudes nothing but class and has forever left an imprint on the success of the Green Bay Packers even to this day.

[@jfrom214]

Bob Harlan belongs in NFL HOF executive branch. Absolutely epic. Ron Wolfe hire is reason enough.

[@donaldschmidt2990]

Talent knows Talent and how to acquire it. Then develop it. Once Ron Wolf joined the Packers he convinced the brilliant Mike Holmgren to follow him. Like his mentor, the great Bill Walsh, he immediately attracted "The Best And Brightest." Top level Assistant Coaches that thrived in a creative culture. Bill Walsh may have been the most intellectually brilliant man in NFL history. He worked with Mike Holmgren to perfect " The West Coast Offense." It was raised to such an Art, that it even exploded in the snow and mud of Green Bay. Moral Of The Story= Great coaches win anywhere under almost any conditions. All it takes is an ownership and Front Office smart enough to bring them in.

[@scubaman6]

The team with the most wins in the NFL all time is the Packers, I hope they continue to build a new team with the goal of winning.

[@Unclejake]

I remember before Farve, I was stationed at Great Lakes, Packers used to give away tickets for Green Bay games, had to pay for the Bears….

This is how the renewal of the "Glory Years" begun with all new team leaders from "Brett Farve to Reggie White, support by Ron Wolf-GM & Coach Mike Hologram. This was a change, the GB-Packers "Third Super Bowl" in about 29-Years. That era, a new time since I9I9, (nearly 70 years) and New Orleans witnessed a "Perfect" Super Bowl game playing the "New England Patriots," a I996-I997 season, this is a "Lombardi Trophy" game (January I2, I997, beating the Carolina Panthers), and Winning a Super Bowl Trophy on I-26-I997. It took years to win as an underdog. In January at Super Bowl XXXI a Packer win; 35 to 2I became a Precious Victory, that Team was unique. Turning the Winning Tide for Green Bay and Excellence was found searching for "Perfection as Lombardi had Preached."
