On Monday, Pete Prisco, a writer for CBSSports.com, wrote an article arguing an idea that seems to be lost in today's football media: The Packers are STILL the greatest football franchise of all time. After winning Super Bowl XLIII, he agrees with many that the Steelers are the best of the Super Bowl era. How can anyone argue, however, against 12 championships? One in the 20's, four in the 30's, one in the 40's, five in the 50's, and one in the 90's. That's double what the Steelers have won, and Pittsburgh's franchise has been around since 1933 (the Pack joined the NFL in 1921). The Bears are a "close" second at 9 championships, and that "close" is still only 75% of what Green Bay has won. So, all hail the Green Bay Packers... And fellow Long Islander Pete Prisco for knowing the best franchise in the history of American football.

About Me
- Kyle Charters
- This is my first true sports writing venture, and I hope to one day be one of the most read blogs about the Green Bay Packers. Knowing how die hard Packers fans are, I hope to create a place where they can get the news about their favorite team on a daily basis, while also commenting and starting discussions on their own. While also commenting on news stories about the team, I hope to be able to give some opinion on possible moves the team should make (ie free agents, draft) and anything else that I feel necessary about the green and gold.
