There’s only a few of them. There’s a history of excellence in Green Bay. Starting in the 20s and the run in the 60s. The stuff that we accomplished. There’s 13 NFL championships there. Pittsburgh had a run in the 70s with four championships and then Ben got two. They’ve got six Super Bowls. There’s a history of excellence that comes with a team like this.”
