No, not the Yul Brynner movie

If you want to talk about dynasties in the NFL, forget the Dallas Cowboys and the New England Patriots. The Green Bay Packers won seven championships between 1961 and 1967 (missing only `63 and '64), including the first two Super Bowls. Lombardi gave them no choice. He picked the best players, had the best strategy and did not accept "no" for an answer. Notes from the sidelines and quotes from the bench make this far more interesting than a down-by-down recap for cheeseheads. Unfortunately, there are no team photos or rosters. Each of these men--beyond the legends of Starr, Hornung, Willy Wood, Jim Taylor, Jerry Kramer, Fuzzy Thurston, Herb Adderley, Ray Nitschke--deserved such notice. [Review based on the hardback]
