[QUOTE="Anubis, post: 12275, member: 257"] I would just like to address Steel Wheels, Musccy and the other nay-sayers that say the Pack do not have a chance this season. In 1958, the Pack suffered the worst losing streak in their entire history (1-10-1). Head Coach Ray "Scooter" McLean retired amid screams that the Pack were "a bunch of bums" among other insults. In 1959, Vince Lombardi was named Head Coach and General Manager. His first year he elevated the Pack to a 7-5 record and was named "Coach of the Year". The Pack finished no less than second from 1960 until 1967, and won World Championship titles in 1961, 1962, 1965, 1966 and 1967. The moral of this story? Guess who's names were among that "bunch of bums" on the 1958 roster during the worst season of Green Bay's history. Here's a hint: Starr, Hornung, Nitschke, Taylor and Ringo. Now what were you saying about a coach only being to do so much? Go Pack! Robert C. Hedley [/QUOTE]
