[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1064964, member: 18006"] Oh, come on now... this rabid homerism has gone around the bend and over the edge. Why on Earth should the trophy that honors both the Super Bowl winner and the NFL championship be named after someone with a .667 playoff record, won 6 championships in 40 years, who never won a Super Bowl (and claimed fewer than half as many championships as Green Bay has won) rather than the man who won [I][B]5 [/B][/I]championships in 9 years and has a postseason record of .900? As much as I respect and admire Halas, it took him 40 seasons to win just one more championship than Vince won in [I][B]7 [/B][/I]seasons. He may be the father of the NFL, but by no measure can anyone realistically say that he is the embodiment of championship football. At [I]all[/I]. No other coach in NFL history has had the level of postseason success that Lombardi did. Lombardi [I]defines [/I]championship-level football, more than any other coach in any sport in American professional athletics. In Lombardi's short career as a head coach, he led his team to the championship an astonishing 55% of his seasons. Halas had a 15% championship rate, and even Belichick - the man who won more Super Bowls than any other coach - needed 24 seasons to win his 6, giving him a rate of 25%. More than any other coach in the history of the NFL, the name "Lombardi" is synonymous with "championship". Where do you come up with this stuff??? :laugh: [/QUOTE]
