[QUOTE="Raptorman, post: 257504, member: 655"] About the Championship wins thing. If you were to count them up the way they were historically played MN does have a NFL Championship. Now before you go off on you telling me it's BS here's the thing. Green Bay actually would have 14 not 12. But people don't look at it that way. They look at the first 4 Super Bowls as NFL Championship games. Yet, two of the teams that won them were not in the NFL at the time. So how can a team that is not in the league hold it's Championship? That would be like saying the Badgers beat USC in the Rose Bowl so they are the PAC 10 champs. The fact is the NFL wants everyone to think of the Super Bowl as the NFL championship game which it is today. But the in order to play in the first 4 you had to be the NFL champion in the first place. There is a reason why on the first two Super Bowl Trophies the Packers have it says AFL-NFL World championship game. The Packer had already won the NFL Championship when they beat Dallas before the first two Super Bowls. Since the first 4 were played between two different leagues. Want to know how separate they really were? NO player who played for only an AFL team from 1960-1970 has ever been considered for the Hall of Fame. If a player in the AFL did not play after 1970 merger, they are not eligible. But I know I'm bucking the trend here and I know some of you are going to come at me with the "But they didn't win the Super Bowl" statement. And that's fine. Everyone, including the NFL, and most Vikings fans are willing to let ride, but in reality you can't change history. [/QUOTE]
