Packers Get A Lot Of Love In Sports Illustrated’s “Greatest” Football Book

There’s a lot of Green Bay in Sports Illustrated’s “best-of-the-best” football book. The Packers are on 11 of the 20 lists, including Vince Lombardi as the greatest coach of all time and Lambeau Field as the best football stadium.  Lombardi just edged Bill Belichick.  Reggie White is listed as the best defensive lineman and the Packers offensive line in the 1960s was the best unit.  The 1962 Packers team was named the fourth-best and the legendary “Ice Bowl” the second-best game.  The Packers franchise was ranked second, behind the Pittsburgh Steelers and ahead of the Dallas Cowboys.  Quarterback Brett Favre was ranked the eighth-best at his position.  The best team — the 1985 Chicago Bears.
