However, V L made many Sundays a sad day, for other NFL cities. I humbly believe, if Paul Hornung wasn’t suspended for gambling in the 1963 season, the Packers would have won another championship!

Thats very possible. I believe the only 2 losses for the Packers were to the Bears. Vince was driven to get that 3rd straight. It still separates that Packer team from the rest. But that 63 Bears team earned it.

[@latinhellas6383]

I haven't seen the whole video, but Vince Lombardi started in 1959 as head coach of the Green Bay Packers until 1967. In 1968 he acted as general manager of the Green Bay Packers, then in 1969 he coached the Washington Redskins. George Allen took over the Washington Redskins in 1971 and the team went to the Super Bowl in 1972, losing to the undefeated Miami Dolphins. George Allen has one of the highest winning percentages among head coaches with at least 100 games, though he never won a league championship, unlike Vince Lombardi who won five - 1961 (NFL), 1962 (NFL), 1965 (NFL), 1966 (NFL & Super Bowl), 1967 (NFL and Super Bowl) - and lost only one in 1960 (Philadelphia Eagles) in which the Packers fell short by a few yards on the last play. For us old timers, men like Vince Lombardi, Hank Stram, Tom Landry, George Allen, Don Shula, John Madden, Chuck Noll are great men.

I grew up watching the Packers, Colts, Giants, Rams, Raiders, Bears, 49er's. I grew up watching Starr, Unitas. I have wondered, excessively I guess, His love for the Players, the game, Green Bay could he have slowly relinquished some menial roles in the general office to remain more focused as coach while still managing? Maybe by 70-71 and further solidifying Green Bay as the NFL was growing to further solidify Green Bay. Would sharing at least some of those responsibilities (not all) in managing the team and keeping him on the field, would that have anchored Green Bay for several generations and probably even until now or further? Could that have worked as a gradual procession of things? For Coach Lombardi, The Team, Green Bay and all of Wisconsin? Just sad to know it ended the way it did.

I felt like I knew Jerry Kramer personally. I've been a Packer fan ever since. I have the the framed print of the speech Lombardi gave about winning. I was 7 years old in 1968.

[@jacktheripoff1888]

That "Playoff Bowl" they mentioned was actually a charity game to raise money for the NFL Players Associtaion from 1960-69. It was initially called the Bert Bell Benefit Bowl, named for the former Commissioner who died in 1959. They took the second place teams from each division to play in it. The players from the the winning team got 1000 dollars, and the losers got 500. They renamed it the Playoff Bowl to try to pass it off as like some kind of "bronze medal" game to draw more fans. Today it's listed by the NFL as an exhibition game. It raised more than a million dollars for the NFLPA, a fair amount of money for that time. All the games were played at the Orange Bowl. Although never sellouts it did draw decent crowds a few times and it may have helped Miami get an expansion team in the AFL in 1966.

[@edwardcricchio6106]

I'd rather have a "third place" game for charity than a Pro Bowl game. They should have a 3rd place game, with the losers of the Conference Championship games facing off in Miami. Give the money to research for brain injuries and money towards the old players who gave their lives to the game and now have nothing but pain. This year the Pro Bowl is going to be a week of skills competition. Who would watch that? A 3rd Place Game for charity the off week between the Conference Championship and the Super Bowl would get ratings and more importantly raise money for charity.

[@jacktheripoff1888]

@@edwardcricchio6106 I looked up Pro Bowls between 1960-1965. They were all played in LA and attendence was about on average 55-60 thousand. Players from winning team got 1900 dollars and losers 950. So almost twice as much as the Playoff Bowl. Also, you had a lot of great players on bad teams and this was their only chance to ever be in a "spotlight" game. From 1966 to 70 it dropped. Here's what I think happened. 1960-65 was pre Super Bowl, all you got for a postseason was a single championship game. So the Pro Bowl might have been that last "football fix" people got before seasons end. But then they added the Super Bowl with the AFL. Then both leagues went to 2 rounds of playoffs to win your league and then the Super Bowl. So after 3 weeks of postseason football, climaxed by the Super Bowl, the Pro Bowl really ended up being a non event. And just as much for the Playoff Bowl. But I agree the Pro Bowl should have been nixed a LONG time ago.

[@edwardcricchio6106]

@@jacktheripoff1888 It was Lombardi and the Packers who didn't help the Playoff Bowl. He had to play in it when the Packers didn't reach the NFL Championship Game and he hated it and told the press he hated it. He called it a loser's game and ripped the location of the game, too. Thanks for the research. I think all All-Star games in the major sports aren't what they used to be. Fans don't really watch them as they once did. I also know they have done away with all consolation games in most sports, except the Olympics. So they aren't going to do a 3rd place game in the NFL, even though it would be for charity.

[@jacktheripoff1888]

@@edwardcricchio6106 Olympics are nothing what they used to be. The Cold War era ones were very intense. Even though the USSR and East Europe sent in full-time athletes and some of them very roided up. A lot of that (the roids) they didn't talk about at the time. The pre-"Dream Team" games meant more for the US. That's why the 1980 Hockey win over the USSR still remains the biggest single sporting event in our history. Even the NHL acknowalaged they were the best team on the planet.

The "greatest" NFL Coach in Pro Football history, and a super great man that comes around once in a thousand years! As great a Coach as Lombardi was, if he came back as a Head Coach, these players today, with a few exceptions, would not play for Lombardi. These NFL players today, with a few exceptions, do not have the same mindset as those NFL players of the 1950's and 60's. For example, the best running back or quarterback ever would not think of preferential treatment or holding out for more money on a Lombardi coached team. He would trade that player off immediately and never look back. Players of today have never had the strict discipline, on a continuous basis, that a Lombardi would administer. Coach Lombardi had methods of coaching that "only" players from the 50's and 60's would play under. No slam against todays players, just a different mindset, that's all, the same applies to today's adults as opposed to adults from 5-decades ago.

None of what he did could have worked with the players if they didn't start to win immediately, but that's exactly what they did. HIs name is on the Super Bowl trophy because he was the greatest head coach of all time, not Belichick (Bart Starr was an excellent qb but in no way was he close to Tom Brady). The Giants not hiring him as head coach is a blunder which caused them nearly 20 years of losing.

It was the last time cuz Vince let them know what they could do with the list. Three straight world championships. It hasn't happened since and may never happen again.

What if he was not knocked out of the 1960 Championship game by Bednarik? What if he didn't gamble and miss the 1963 season? What if he didn't miss all those field goals/kicks vs the Colts in those 2 games in 1964?

Wellington Mara was planning to let Jim Lee Howell in a year or two and replace him with Lombardi..

Lombardi was made HC and GM of the Packers. He had total and absolute control. So when the Giants called him in 1961 to offer him the HC job in NY he said no. Lombardi realized he would never be happy working for a meddling owner, and that he would not achieve success with someone looking over his shoulder.
