[QUOTE="IPBprez, post: 9536, member: 51"] Heartily agree - even today, when I mention which Number for the Pack - I'd rather have, I say "Seven".... and they all go [i]WHAT...?[/i] - What about Number Four? Majik Man brought the Packers back to the Winning side of Football. And, to speak the truth here - if not for Reggie White and the luck that Holmgren did NOT sit Favre down, like he almost did at one time.... Well, the Majik years would have been the glowing light for all Cheeseheads.. and the Nineties may have never ever happened like they have... I can tell ya this - I lived around Lake Geneva during those years and was bartending at a place in Burlington call The Palace - thanks to those football pools, I won almost a grand that year, along with bettin' on Majik! I have never heard so much whining in my life after the Refs MADE THE RIGHT CALL -- they went "frame-by-frame" on TV... over and over... til everyone had pretty much had it with the media... In the end, the right call was made, by an HONEST Referee... And, you should have heard the cry go out over the southeastern tip of Wisconsin - Bears fans everywhere were gettin in fights with cheeseheads, etc... They even got it going with a 1-900-kill-instant-replay gig that "succeeded" - ruining the NFL for years to come... All the channels in Chicago were doin' it Channel 2, 5, 7, & WGN(9) - Everyone and anyone could call... Ol' George Halas Members on the Owners Board was playin like they was AL DAVIS with running the NFL - and got away with it! I mean it - the Instant Replay has never been the same and the whole NFL has suffered over it. In my book, the Pats would have never gone to that first SuperBowl, like they did. And, the Packers DID win that game against the Niners where Jerry Rice FUMBLED, but had it given back. in 1998. If the original instant replay was still in effect - both of those incidents would have gone the other way.... No way TO gets the winning TD grab... and maybe TO's career never really gets off the ground so quickly.... One good thing - as the next few season go by - we should see the emergence of a slightly better Instant Replay Rules alignment - getting us back to where we were during the Majik Man years! I will always praise that man - he was a real Packer - even stayed in Green Bay to practice and garnered quite a few of the other players to stay with him - he cared that much! I just wish the Packers had more Players like him these days - it would make all the difference! [/QUOTE]
