NFC trophy is named after halas moondog Send a noteboard - 01/10/2009 02:06:24 AM
It should be named after Halas, who did a lot more for the game. But I don't expect you to agree, though I could probably live with Curly Lambeau over Lombardi, too. Lombardi was at the right place at the right time; had the Super Bowls started two years later they might have named it after Weeb Ewbank (which would've sounded a lot freakier. )


if lombardi hadn't died so suddenly after winning the first two it would probably still be named the "world championship game trophy". if bert bell had lived until the merger, the trophy would probably be named after him. i mean, there's plenty of people in the NFL history it could be named after, but nobody dominated the game like lombardi did in his career, and the nature of his sudden illness and death gave a lot of people a lot of reasons to honor his contribution to the game in some meaningful fashion...

Just watch the videos; they largely speak for themselves. Joel - 30/09/2009 09:32:25 PM 553 Views
that hit on okoye was always listed as the turning point in his career moondog - 30/09/2009 10:32:35 PM 425 Views
Guess I just missed it. Joel - 30/09/2009 10:52:35 PM 470 Views
there *were* injuries, but he was never the same after that hit moondog - 01/10/2009 02:01:13 AM 420 Views

You're thinking of the '97 Packers... Joel - 30/09/2009 10:17:41 PM 447 Views
broncos are better than packers? who is the trophy named after again? *NM* moondog - 30/09/2009 10:27:15 PM 216 Views
Don't remind me of that travesty. Joel - 30/09/2009 10:51:37 PM 446 Views

I've always thought if it wasn't for that crushing loss to Jacksonville in 96.... Brian - 01/10/2009 02:35:00 AM 397 Views
I tend to agree, though some say that just prevented a threepeat (Note:No one in Green Bay does. ) Joel - 01/10/2009 06:41:12 AM 596 Views
I've heard the same thing Brian - 01/10/2009 10:32:57 AM 480 Views
Possible, though I don't think Elway would give up that easily. Joel - 02/10/2009 01:54:04 AM 428 Views
The '85 Bears would beat them by two touchdowns. *NM* Joker - 01/10/2009 03:26:12 AM 336 Views
Reckon we'll never know, but I frankly doubt it. Joel - 01/10/2009 06:11:27 AM 525 Views
One small correction... whoohtown - 01/10/2009 06:20:56 PM 477 Views
My bad, thought I'd gone for the season. Joel - 01/10/2009 07:44:51 PM 487 Views
Defensive pressure trumps absolutely everything else in football. '85 Bears were the kings. Joker - 01/10/2009 09:37:37 PM 416 Views
I disagree with that statement as well as many of your others. Joel - 02/10/2009 12:43:33 AM 528 Views
Have a look at the teams to win the SB since '80 and then we'll talk. Joker - 02/10/2009 02:54:48 AM 426 Views
I referenced teams that have won since the '80s, as well as one from before then. Joel - 02/10/2009 03:53:47 AM 603 Views
You sound more and more ridiculous with each new post. Joker - 03/10/2009 03:48:09 AM 440 Views
Just because you ignore something doesn't mean it's absent. Joel - 04/10/2009 05:23:53 PM 586 Views
u win!!1! Joker - 05/10/2009 07:02:44 AM 456 Views
Too bad they cheated to win.....yeah, heart..... trzaska2000 - 01/10/2009 04:07:02 AM 440 Views
Al Davis lecturing people on playing by the rules?!!! Joel - 01/10/2009 05:42:27 AM 420 Views
Nice try, but facts are facts and the NFL agreed with Davis..... trzaska2000 - 01/10/2009 03:55:20 PM 465 Views
Failure to report some payments isn't a huge deal nor deliberate circumvention. Joel - 01/10/2009 04:31:01 PM 617 Views
I hate to tell Broncos' fans... whoohtown - 01/10/2009 04:08:00 PM 508 Views
HA! HA! HA! How soon they forget.....nice one! *NM* trzaska2000 - 01/10/2009 04:15:57 PM 205 Views
I actually think Cutler got a raw deal out of that one. Joel - 01/10/2009 07:55:32 PM 473 Views
Okay, I just watched all of those videos... Legolas - 02/10/2009 01:00:20 PM 551 Views
