With Love & Respect: A Reunion of the Lombardi Green Bay Packers

[@pacfan1456]

I lived in Green Bay 3rd through 6th grade, 1965 to 1970, these players, men, were my hero’s then and hero’s now, I still wear Bart Starr’s jersey today, the best roll models ever, they will never be forgotten!

[@joedeangelis7465]

I feel kind of sorry for kids today. Their heroes seem to come up short from time to time. I was lucky. My hero was Bart Starr and he never let me down.

[@markhall6306]

The player's today are not unfortunately role models and heroes Lombardi was an innovator in many ways

[@jamesbarlow6423]

I first went to a Packer game in 1961 vs. Rams, vs. Cardinals in '65, vs. Bears in '66, the Ice Bowl in '67, vs. the Bears in '02, finally vs. the Lions in '14. The strange thing is that it's always the same. Like Disneyland

There's no denying the talent that exists in the current NFL. But you look at todays' game, the way it's presented, the priorities.....thinking about that after watching this video, just makes you want to cry.

Jerry Kramer is the perfect narrator not only for the 1960s Packers but for the NFL itself.

Tears , tears of joy, of remembering. A bond that can never be broken.

[@beefyz13]

Brought tears to me eyes. Became a Packer fan just at the beginning of their 3 year Championship run. That was an unusual statement living in NYC and having the Giants/Jets, Yankees/Mets as home teams These Packers were amazing and i saw that same dedication, professionalism , love, & respect that was talked about throughout this film. That's also tough for many 13yr olds to see or say at that age, but I saw it & felt it. The night of the Ice Bowl I made a promise to myself that someday i was going to visit Green Bay and meet Bart Starr. I finally made it to GB in 2016 and met with Bart in Alabama just 10 mths before he passed on, a more decent or finer man never existed.

This is a marvelous "Team" event with stories that are never put into record books. Mr. Jerry Kramer has told the story of many "Victories" and stories of the "Past History." I was a young High School Junior at I7 years old and attended the "i966 Ice Bowl at Lambeau Field beating the Dallas Team." I Also was a "Packers Ticket Taker on Game-day from I977 to I982."

Words can't say how good this film really is and for Bart Starr to honor Claudius James player that only played 15 games tells about the love and respect this team had

[@brendagriggs8395]

Claudis Ray James was my wonderful uncle. He was my mother’s baby brother and the youngest of my grandmothers 11 children. I was brought to tears by this moment. We were so proud of Claudis and the fact that despite his battle with Parkinson’s, he helped many young athletes participate in sports through mentoring and sponsoring their teams.

I loved this team I remember it like it was yesterday coach Lombardi to me is still the best he took these men to another level he was the best I miss them all

There have been a handful of great dynasty's, but what the Packers of the Lombardi era had that made them the greatest dynasty was love for one another.

[@willoneil1456]

This is the greatest team in any sports especially the NFL. I was 4 in 1965 and I became a super fan of this Packers team forever. My grandpa worship this team. I love this team myself ❤. This makes me cry 😢

[@henryware9440]

I just love this. Love the old Packers. Grew up reading and re-reading "Instant Replay".

Whenever I think of the best team ever and the best coach ever the packers and Lombardi are at the very top. They should all be proud to have been a part of that great dynasty.

[@michaelwisner4941]

Every time I see these fancy football jerseys, it reminds me of back in Wisconsin many years ago, most people back then didn't have much, so I took and old sweat shirt , faded yellow and a marker and put # 15 on it, I was proud of that shirt, but I was so proud of all you Packers, I knew every players name and position and # memorized , and can still remember half, thanks for all the greatest of memories, God Bless all of you Guys ! Now I've got to dry my tears !!!!

[@colerainfan1143]

Thanks so much for posting this. I grew up in this era, and my first sports love was the Packers. How special it was, and still is.

[@melbro62]

I played at a small college as a QB in 1964-1966 and we ran a lot of the pro set that Green Bay ran thinking we would have the same results. Well we would have if we had Starr, Hornung, Taylor, Kramer, etc. and of course the GB coaching under Lombardi. One of the most important things (as I learned later coaching) is "Chemistry." Green Bay had that.

[@brianmccauley7711]

If you're any kind of fan of American professional sports, how can you not like the story of the "Lombardi Packers"? Besides being underdogs representing blue-collar, small-town America at the time... they showed us how we can all overcome things like prejudice and so many other adversities by coming together as a team where things like love and respect rule the day.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

So many of these great Packers are now gone . Every time I read of one passing it’s like part of life has changed . The Packers were always two colors … Green and Gold !! They were always judged on how they played not the color of their skin , ethnic origin or religion . Once a Packer - always a Packer .

1st NFL game I ever went to VINCE LOMBARDI was coaching the Washington Redskins. Franklin Field in Philadelphia. Eagles vs Redskins. I was 11 in 1968 and didn't know how special Vince Lombardi was to football. My Uncle kept handing me his binoculars and saying see that Guy that's VINCE LOMBARDI and told me all about Him. Is probably when I started to play football myself and played Varsity Football in HS and been following it ever since.

I Remember when i was about four years old! 1956! I became a packer fan. My Mother happened to be at her parents house in Find du lac wis. Her whole family lived there! My father said! Let's jump in the car, and go to the dairy queen for a footing the and a malted milk. That became a tradition. My brothers were at my grandparents, with mother. Well when the game was starting, he explained to me, what every players

[@reidremington7771]

Position was! He wss actually quite the highscool football player himself for the Antigo highschool team. If it wouldn't have been for the great war. He would have gone on to college and played. Against his parents wishes. He joined the Army with four of his buddies. What a time it was growing up in the 50s and 60s.

[@jski7355]

I wonder why in the course of this film that the offensive tackles of that team are hardly mentioned or shown ? Two guys that Lombardi needed that made that sweep work .Forrest Gregg the perennial all pro and Bob Skoronski the player that Lombardi chose as the Offensive Captain . Nothing against or disrespect for Jim Ringo .But he wasn't with the Packers for those glory years .He chose Skoronski to fill that void at center when Vince traded him??

Coach Lombardi was visiting the Starrs in their new home in Green Bay and the coach was commenting on their home Cherry starr told the coach it was his efforts that made it all possible that if it wasn't for you coach none of this would be possible I'm paraphrasing with that comment the coach excuse himself... Coach Lombardi probably was not the type of man that could take a compliment or a acknowledgment of himself I think c h e r r y s t a r rp touched upon a part of the coaches character that the coach wished to keep private after all he had to protect his reputation as a ball buster that would stop at nothing to get the desired result run to win
