"When Pride Still Mattered" is a biography of Vince Lombardi, but it includes a lot of team history and history of the game. It's a great read, I highly recommend it.

That First Season was outstanding! I couldn't put it down, and wished it had gone on and on! Pretty much follows the Packers from the the "Leadership" of Ray "Scooter" McLean to the LEADERSHIP of Vincent Lombardi! SERIOUSLY... READ THIS BOOK!

When Pride Still Mattered is a classic that I think all Packer fans must read. Pretty sure it was on my 2nd grade required reading list? Anyone else have that same recollection?

Lambeau: The Man Behind The Mystique is another good one. This one takes you back a bit farther, in fact to the beginnings of our beloved pack! Follows our beloved and brilliant founder all the way till he goes Hollywood on us!

Favre did a book, just after he retired (the first time so no Viking stuff). I know you said you know a lot about the most recent era's, but the thing I liked most about it was the total recall that quarterbacks have about certain plays. The way he describes just about every player on the field is a really cool glimpse into the study habits of the most important man on the field.

Driven:From Homeless to Hero is the next book on my list when it comes out on the 22nd! If you haven't heard about Donald Driver's life before the NFL, I suggest you wait on googling it until the book comes out (no I don't own stock, nor am I affiliated with the publisher, just a huge fan of those who come from shit backgrounds, and still make something great of themselves!)

When Pride Still Mattered: A life of Vince Lombardi by David Maraniss

"Character is the perfectly disciplined will." pg. 333

"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." pg. 320

"While it is true the difference between men is in energy, in the strong will, in the settled purpose and in the invincible determination, the new leadership is in sacrifice, it is in self-denial, it is in love and loyalty, it is in fearlessness, it is in humility and it is in perfectly disciplined will. This is the distinction between great and little men." pg. 406
