Championshiporbust Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Since 1992, the Green Bay Packers has been one of the best teams in sports, next to the Broncos, Yankees, 49ers, Lakers, Cowboys, Man U, Alabama football, Duke basketball, etc. If Love is good as Favre/Rodgers in a few years, don't the Pack have bragging rights?

They should be a team that free agents want to play for.....they had the two best QBs over the past 3 decades with 3 SB appearances....that's a well-run organization...

Yeah, they're a well run organization, but why would they have bragging rights over, say, the Patriots? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 The Packers are already America's team because they're publicly owned. **** them billionaires. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bad Example Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I believe there are 4 teams who have national fanbases - Dallas, Green Bay, Las Vegas, and Pittsburgh (order is alphabetical) Any of them would have a claim as "America's Team" based on historical popularity.

ReadyToThump Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 If Jordan Love becomes a superstar HOF QB, Packer fans will be unquestionably the luckiest sports fans to ever walk the earth lol. I'm 31, and since I've been born, the Packers have sustained a huge amount of success. They've only had 6 seasons with a losing record. Nearly every year they have been in, or near contention for a Superbowl. 2 HOF QBs and "only" 2 Superbowls, talk about being spoiled as a sports fan. Having a 3rd superstar HOF QB in a row just seems absurdly optimistic, I'm somewhat confident in Loves ability, but I'm certainly not getting my hopes that far up until we see him in action these next couple of years. With all that said I think it's safe to say Green Bay is and will be no matter what, ONE of America's teams. Along side organizations like Pittsburgh, Dallas, San Fran and New England. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't help but think of the 90s Bulls and 00s Patriots as the best comparison. Both have certainly made their stamp as the most dominant runs in sports history. Maybe I'm way off there but then again that's just how I feel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't wrong but think about how many people who were big time Bulls fans during the glory years really give a crap when the Bulls have a good season now that Jordan isn't there. It's not zero but it isn't a lot either. Edited July 24, 2023 by Mr Bad Example 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJerkDave Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I mean, no. The Cowboys are "America's Team." That is their nickname. Just like the Bears are the "Monsters of the Midway," or the Browns are the "Mistake by the Lake." Being the biased Packers fan that I am, I will say that Green Bay doing well is good for the league. A town like Green Bay would never have a team in the NBA, or MLB. Much less be able to field a competitive team. It is part of what makes the NFL unique. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegas492 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 To me, the Cowboys will always be "America's Team". GB is "Titletown". And that is just fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jofos Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 While I don't think the Packers are poorly run or anything but two Super Bowls in 30 years? Is that impressive? 10 teams have won Super Bowls since the Packers last won with one of those teams KC winning two out of three and NE winning three out of five.
