When I was a youngun growing up in Calgary....there was one football game on every Sunday.... and it was inevitably the Packers and whomever they played.

I remember the Bart Starrs (player and as coach) and Elijah Pitts and Willie Wood and Ray Nitschke etc...and even though there were very lean times back then and for years to come...they were always "my" team. Hell I doubt they won more than 60 games that first decade i followed them.

Just looked it up...The first decade (71-80) I watched the Pack...they went a cumulative 56-84-5. ouch.
