I've been reading these articles. It's fascinating to see events as they actually happened, versus looking back on them now with the benefit of hindsight.

This, for example, from an article about who the newly hired Lombardi would go with as his number one quarterback during the 1959 season:

"Who will be the quarterback? Bart Starr? Babe Parilli? Joe Francis?

It could be that the Packers . . . will have to barter for an experienced passer.

The Baltimore News Post revealed that George Shaw, No. 2 quarterback of the Colts, has asked to be traded. The paper said Green Bay is reported to have offered Billy Howton plus a first draft choice in exchange for Shaw."


Well worth reading for passionate Packer fans and sports history buffs alike.
