Curly Lambeau helped found the Green Bay Packers. He led them to six pro football championships. For 31 years, he was essentially the face of the team. Then came strife between Lambeau and the Packers' executive committee. Lambeau's power was challenged. His decisions were met with scrutiny. There were finance concerns. And, the Packers were losing games. Still, in 1950, there was shock when Lambeau announced he was leaving the Packers to join the rival Chicago Cardinals. For many, it was the end of an era. Some even wondered if the Packers would move to Buffalo or Houston.
