Cheeseheads, rejoice. This video is for those lovable, loyal Packer fans who wear the yellow foam slices of cheese on their heads: a celebration of a marvelous 13-3 regular-season record that culminates in a 35-21 victory over New England in the 1997 Super Bowl. As usual, NFL Films rises to the occasion with an excellent video narrated by the unmistakable voice of Harry Kalas. It not only dissects the Packers' return to glory, it provides insight into the fanatical followers of the only completely publicly owned franchise in the smallest city of pro sports. There is a special relationship between the fans, the city, and the team unlike any other in sports. Beyond that, this video recaps the MVP season of quarterback Brett Favre, the resurrection of washed-up kick-returner Desmond Howard, and the culmination of the highly religious Reggie White's long journey to the NFL promised land. It also examines the marvelous coaching job by Mike Holgrem in overcoming a rash of serious injuries to his wide receivers. In the 1960s, Green Bay became known as "Titletown, USA" during one of the most dominating championship runs in all of sports. It took 29 years for the Pack to make it all the way back. And this celebration is the culmination of that journey. Cheeseheads and all pro-football fans will enjoy reliving the return of the Lombardi Trophy to the town Vince Lombardi made famous. --Gordie Sholtys

This review is from: Super Bowl XXXI - Green Bay Packers Championship Video [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This excellent video by NFL films is a must own for any Packer fan. It tells the tale of a small midwestern city who go's on to dominate the NFL in a magical season(only in the NFL). Plus it documents the day I had been waiting for and talking about all my life to that point watching my beloved Packers playing and winning the Super Bowl. Like said before a must own for any Packer fan. This video never gets old.

5.0 out of 5 stars 1996 Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers, May 24, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Super Bowl XXXI - Green Bay Packers Championship Video [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Packers fans must have this video, because it depicts the 1996 World Champion Packers from Opening Day 1996 to Super Bowl XXXI with a look at Green Bay's Championship past as only NFL Flims can pull it off.
