    I was about to say the same thing. Best d-line in team history and none of them drafted by us

    A lot of Packer fans would argue that the 1962 D-line was the best in team history (Willie Davis, Henry Jordan, Dave Hanner, Bill Quinlan). Davis and Jordan are in the NFL HOF. Of those four only one (Hanner) was drafted by us.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    Too bad he couldn't sustain it.

    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Not really. There was no salary cap back then.

    There was, but Reggie was first at the feed bucket.

    After that, the Packers were in good cap shape for a while as everyone else tried to sign lesser Reggie's to more money.

    Sean Jones they got because he was near the end. Dotson was a plumb get, even if he wasn't a game changer.
