Green Bay Replay

Thirty years after Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers dominated the National Football League, the modern Pack became world champions once again. Here's how they did it---in front of their loyal fans, and in the proud tradition of the fabled players and coach who lifted Green Bay to the top in the 1960s. After a quarter-century Packer slump that had frustrated five different head coaches, three leaders arrived in Green Bay in 1992: head coach Mike Holmgren, general manager Ron Wolf, and quarterback Brett Favre. Step by step, they built the team into a winner, then Super Bowl champion---finally bringing home the coveted trophy that is named after Coach Lombardi.

No writer is better equipped to report this amazing story than Dick Schaap, who collaborated with Paul Hornung and Jerry Kramer on classic Packer books, and witnessed firsthand the day-to-day process that brought glory to Green Bay once more. Newly updated to cover the 1998 Super Bowl, here is a dramatic, uplifting pro football story, told by the bestselling sportswriter who know the Pack best.
