Titletown USA is the proud moniker of Green Bay, Wisconsin, and this book examines how the Green Bay Packers, led by head coach Vince Lombardi, became the championship prototype by which other teams measured their success in the NFL's formative years. In the 1960s, Lombardi's Packers turned the smallest national market in the NFL into the home of the most successful football team in league history. The first team to win five titles in a seven-year span, the Green Bay Packers became synonymous with championships as the NFL emerged on the forefront of the national sports scene. Magnificent Seven gathers anecdotes and strategy from the squads that won the three NFL Championships in 1961, 1962, and 1965, Super Bowls I and II, as well as the NFC Championships in 1966 and 1967.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Lea covered the Green Bay Packers for the Milwaukee Journal from 1954 to 1972. Here he chronicles the legendary Vince Lombardi and his Packer teams during the 1961, 1962, 1965, and 1966 championships; the 1967 "Ice Bowl"; and Super Bowls I and II. Lombardi's squad set the benchmark for National Football League clubs. The coach was a no-nonsense man who expected everything from his players (as David Maraniss reveals in When Pride Still Mattered, a biography of Lombardi). His approach quickly gained the respect of the players, turning a bunch of losers into a united team that won seven "Magnificent" titles. Rounding out the text are an index, a good selection of great archival photographs, anecdotes from players, a foreword by Paul Hornung, and an introduction by Bart Starr. Vince Lombardi Jr. wrote the afterword. Recommended where demand warrants.

From Booklist

Fans in Texas or Chicago may not want to admit it, but the Green Bay Packers of the Vince Lombardi era--five NFL championships in the 1960s plus the first two Super Bowl victories--are the standard of excellence by which all other National Football League teams are measured. Lea, who covered the Pack from 1954 through 1972 for the Milwaukee Journal, re-creates those landmark years with a lively narrative, spiced with plenty of interviews he conducted while on the Packer beat and supplemented by more contemporary reminiscences from the players. The book is filled with wonderful, quirky anecdotes, such as Coach Lombardi cautioning his players that Miami-- site of Super Bowl II--would not be a "vacation." Guard Jerry Kramer wondered aloud how anyone could think going anywhere with Lombardi could be a vacation. The game accounts from each championship season make up most of the text and are fun reading for football fans. Dozens of black-and-white photos complement the text. Great fun for Packer fans.

1. Package doesn’t open as box instructs. Tear tab tears of prematurely, which required myself to carefully separate the remainder of the package to open. I did so not knowing I may need to reuse.

2. Slight tear at the front cover page not major.Quality otherwise above average.

3. Thank You.

Everyone remembers Joe Namath's boast before Super Bowl III that the Jets would beat the Colts, favored by 17.5 points at game time. Few people are aware of an even more incredible "prediction." Following their 17-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the 1960 NFL Championship game at Franklin Field, Vince Lombardi praised the Packers for playing a good game, and told them that they learned a lot that day. (Lombardi certainly did, since he choose to go on fourth down three times during the game when the Packers were well within field goal range. The result was the the Packers were stopped on all three fourth down tries, and came away empty each time. Two successful field goals tries would have won the game). Lombardi said the Packers would never loose another championship game, and they didn't. Quite a boast. But Lombardi backed up the boasts with seven championship wins. He was indeed a great coach.
