quote:The 75-year-old Hornung is picking his old team - naturally - to beat the Steelers by a field goal and thinks this could be the start of a dynasty similar to the one he helped the team build in the 1960s, when coach Vince Lombardi led Green Bay to five NFL titles and victories in the first two Super Bowls.
Hornung pointed to the large number of injuries Green Bay had this season as proof even better days are ahead. The Packers placed 16 players on injured reserve during the season. When those players are healthy, watch out.
"Next year when everybody's back, they're going to have the best football team in America, they're really going to be special," Hornung said.
"This quarterback has had a special year, he's been absolutely double-sensational," Hornung said. "He's the best passer I've ever seen running to his left. I've never seen somebody come out of the pocket and control the ball like he does. He is very, very
accurate."

He believes that team (that captures the Lombardi Trophy) will be Green Bay again, with the Packers making the tiny Wisconsin town Titletown again.
"They have that look," he said. "I remember being on teams that had that look." continue
