ESPN Super Bowl 40 man roster

[Aceschnd]

Anybody watch this tonight? Good picks, Lombardi was the overall choice to be the all time coach for the team. I missed the middle but I think the Pack had some players on offense and defense. I saw Desmond Howard as a special team player. Reggie and Nitschke on D. Max Mcgee as a reciever. Whats your opinion on the list. I'll post a link when I find it.

id anybody notice favre wasn't a candidate for quarterback?
mind you i'm happy 'bout bart starr. i am also happy with the amount of packers on here you know... for being the best overall team in the NFC

 

[CalifPacker]

I caught most of the show last nite. Jerry Kramer and Forrest Gregg made the roster, also.

 

[rabidgopher04]

If Brett Favre won multiple Super Bowls he would be on there.

From what I saw and heard I don't think Bart Starr made it onto the 40 man roster.
I heard a big hulaballoo goin on about that on ESPN radio yesterday but I was talking to my daughter and I didn't get the story.

 

[shiftysdad]

i checked... Bart Starr is on there... it goes
Troy Aikman,
Terry Bradshaw,
Tom Brady,
John Elway,
Joe Montana,
Joe Namath,
Phil Simms,
BART STARR,
Doug Williams,
and Steve Young.
i would have also liked to have seen Johnny Unitas on there too... but...

 

[DePack]

Johnny Unitas? For what?

 

[shiftysdad]

for being in (and winning) the best NFL game of all time.

 

[P@ck66]

Phil Simms and Doug Williams and NO Brett Favre??

that's peculiar...

 

[DePack]

Johnny U. played in parts of two Suoer Bowls. His combined stats are as follows: 14 for 33.....198 yards...1 TD and 3 ints.

Since this thread is about Super Bowls and you said he won, I am assuming you are talking about Super Bowl 5 as being the greatest game of all-time?????? Unitas' stats for that game 3 for 9.....88 yards ....0 tds.....2 ints. The MVP of the game went to Chuck Howley....a linebacker for the Cowboys.

 

[4packgirl]

Phil Simms and Doug Williams and NO Brett Favre??

that's peculiar...

my sentiments EXACTLY, 66!! doesn't make any sense but then again - it IS an espn dealy! :roll:

 

[shiftysdad]

no, not superbowl... the one against the jets, in which Johnny U dumped two touchdowns within like a minute or something and beat Joe Namath's ***.

 

[shiftysdad]

bt then again... you do have a point... touche

 

[shiftysdad]

and i didn't say he won Depack... i said he shoulda been on there

 

[DePack]

Maybe I'm mistaken.....this list is about Super Bowl performances and nothing else....right?

 

[longtimefan]

I think it is based on extraordinary performances in a Super Bowl..Or many numerous wins in a Super Bowl.

How else do you describe Williams there and not Brett?

 

[shiftysdad]

yea... you are right depack... i read it wrong

 

[DePack]

yea... you are right depack... i read it wrong

If not...I'd agree with you. Johnny U is a top 5 all timer!

 

[shiftysdad]

yea... i thought it was of all time and thats why i was upset 'bout favre not being on there
but now i know it's about superbowls and i'm now not amazed that joe montana won
