Green Bay This friend of mine, a man of modest means, desperately wants to attend the Super Bowl but can't because he's paying college bills for his kids.

My advice to him was not to worry because the Green Bay Packers are going to make the Super Bowl seem like old hat by the time Aaron Rodgers and the stacked lineup around him are finished.

One of the most annoying remarks in sports is when a coach or a player for some down-in-the-mouth team says his goal is to win "championships."

If any player, coach or scout for the current Packers failed to use the plural case to state his objective, he would be guilty of grossly underselling the capability of what has been built in Green Bay or not telling the truth.

As far back as Dec. 20, one day after the Packers nearly won at New England with a backup quarterback, I knew exactly how I intended to wrap up a season in which the Packers battled gamely through a torrent of injuries but ultimately fell just short of making the playoffs.

They were going to win the Super Bowl next season.

Now the Packers find themselves playing in the Super Bowl next Sunday, a game they're favored to win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. And I'm spending my first non-football weekend in what seems like forever trying to make sense of a team whose future appears brighter than at any time since the Lombardi era.

Get ready, Wisconsin. You ain't seen nothing yet.



Anyone have the full article?

In before "gotta win one first", "Don't count your chickens before they hatch", "McGinn just jinxed us"

Screw you :icon_smile: Bob McGinn is one of the best and most respected sports writers in the country. He isn't a rah rah Go Pack Go type of writer. He writes what he researches, sees, and discusses with top NFL minds. He sees greatness in this group and I love it.

I'm going to sleep with this article next.to me tonight.

I gave you an applause point for the "Screw you." Yeah, I'm pretty sick of that attitude too. This team will be good for years and will have at least two SBs this decade. Book it. I do want to be quoted for saying that. Call me Zombieslaydamus. Heck, let's make that 3.

Aaron Rodgers, the BEST QB in the NFL, Hall of Famer Charles Woodson, and future Hall of Famer Clay Matthews 3 on the same team. Add to that cool and highly respected coach MM and one more person who will be a candidate for the Hall of Fame - TT. My only fear with this team is that some other team will wave too much money in front of Dom's face for him to say no.

And I feel like saying "Screw You" to people as well. You should have heard some of the things I've been called.

Oh boy. I'm almost literally drooling thinking about winning 4 with this team. Hasn't been done by a single team since the 80s with Joe, right?

Does anyone understand why Finley is in the picture? I know they are discussing a dynasty, but it seems odd putting him in there with Super Bowl XLV written above it.

Yeah, that is somewhat weird.

But looking at the picture, they left Charles Woodson out, for instance. The players on it are the foundation for the future.

But yeah, combining the SB with that picture is a weird decision.

Ridiculous that Tramon isn't in that picture. He keeps getting snubbed when talking about what makes the Packers great. He's our best defensive player and still a young player.
This is a placeholder
