And adding guys like Howard Green with his key arm hit of Big Ben. And OL to help get us past injuries. Wolf in his prime was much more than a fart in the wind.
On this day in Packer history. Jan. 28, 1959
Vince Lombardi, an offensive assistant of the New York Giants, was named the Packers' fifth head coach. Lombardi went on to win five NFL championships in Green Bay. Starting salary $$ 9k year, plus $$ 500. bonus if he won a Super Bowl.
Do you think he was yelling "what the hell is going on out there" on the last play of first half?
I think his starting pay was more like $36,000.
That's like half of $64,000
(Milwaukee Public Schools)
The important thing here is that Lombardi got a BONUS if he won the SB. Did MLF get a BONUS written into his contract for winning a SB? Maybe this is the problem. Without the extra money maybe MLF has decided he is paid to get to the NFCCG. So why win it and not start his vacation 2 weeks early?
There was no SB when he inked that contract
Dang.....Lombardi was a time traveler

Not only no SB but no AFL in actuality.

Let's not let facts get in the way of a good story.
Marie to Vince, is it always this cold up here ?The answer is - "No it gets colder".
Three years ago today, the Packers hit one of their lowest lows of the last 30 years, falling to the 2-9 Cardinals at Lambeau Field.

Mike McCarthy was fired as a result.
Oh how the times have changed ever since.
And the MLF era began....
No, that began the reign of Joe Philbin.
*sigh* such good times.
Joe Philbin? Phil Bengtson? A Lincoln-Kennedy level "coincidence"?
Plays, and/or ref rulings like this are exactly why I pay no mind to any "referees are partial to the Packers" crap that is espoused by some.
Even if that were true, they've paid a heavy price for it.
As an aside, who remembers Scott McGarrahan? 
(A 6th round pick in his rookie year, who played sparingly and did next to nothing in 3 years, other than making Jerry Rice fumble, likely more by accident than intentionally, but still...).
I remember him. Slow player I thought. He did one other thing - collect a paycheck. 
Played for Miami, Tennessee, and San Diego. Started 3 games for Tennessee over two years.
On this date in 2019: Matt LaFleur was officially named head coach of the Green Bay Packers.

With a 39-9 regular-season record, LaFleur has most wins ever by a head coach in his first three NFL seasons.#GoPackGo
Turned out to be a pretty good hire.
Somebody needs to tell MLF the eye black goes under the eyes, not over.
That was what I meant. At least he trims unlike whoever that NBA doofuss is.
It's not like he's Leonid Brezhnev:
Or Theo Waigel:
Trimming these would have taken longer than 60 Minutes
Not sure if this is the place for this but,
Happy 86th yesterday Jerry Kramer
