Let me Guess, St.Paul Vikings fan thinks they should be ranked higher? Or I should have removed Green Bay?

Bills Super Bowls 0-4
Vikes Super Bowls 0-4
Packers Super Bowls 4-5

This is one of those “which one doesn’t belong” questions they give to pre-schoolers

Packers never played in 9 super bowls.

You need to sharpen your crayons

4 wins out of 5 attempts. Anything else kiddo? Now Back to the dunce corner before I call Mom and Dad

Don’t sell yourself short in the Pool of Fools your #1

Sum derned facts on Lombardi’s championship years:
1961 = 14 teams
1962 = 14 teams
1965 = 14 teams
(AFL-NFL Merger)
1966 = 24 teams
1967 = 25 teams

Wrong!!
The merger was announced on the evening of June 8, 1966. Under the merger agreement, the leagues maintained separate regular-season schedules for the next four seasons—from 1966 through 1969—and then officially merged before the 1970 season to form one league with two conferences.
I remember very well being a young boy at the time, 10-11 years old. Cried when the Chiefs beat the Vikings, last Super Bowl after the 1969 season played January 1970 (before the merger).
So…even though the Vikings never won a Super Bowl, they were NFL Champions for 1969.
Not that any of this really matters on this thread as the “virtual arena” sparring is now rearing it’s ugly head.

For the record, the Vikings won the NFL Championship in 1969. It was pre-merger and the “Super Bowl” was just an exhibition game at the time.

wow. that’s some world-class quibbling, of a kind that can only be maintained by 30+ years of pain. sorry ’bout that.

there’s an awful lot of Packers fans who don’t remember their team’s own 30 years of sadness. once Rodgers is gone, they’ll have a hard time adjusting to reality after 30 happy years based on the luck of landing two transcendent QBs…but for now…

hey wait, didn’t one of those same transcendent QBs betray his home team and play for the Vikes and lead them to a Superbowl? wait, what? oh, sorry, nevermind.

Which former Packer “transcendent” QB betrayed his home team to play for the Vikes and lead them to the Super Bowl?

Anyway, Rodgers, Favre…meh. They were okay. The true Packer star QB was none other than Starr!
Bart Starr accolades…
2× Super Bowl champion (I, II)
2× Super Bowl MVP (I, II)
5× NFL champion (1961, 1962, 1965–1967)

Back in the day when no one gave a hoot, the AFL and NFL came up with this Super Bowl idea.
Be cause the NFL had leverage over the younger less influential AFL they decided to name it the Lombardi Trophy.
Who knows why the would name it after V-Lombardi, most likely because he was the only name that was most agreeable to both sides who did not want the Trophy named after a more influential member of Either league at that time.
So they compromise and come up with the Lombardi Trophy.
So I think it’s time to rename the Super Bowl trophy to a more appropriate Symbol of the NFL.

If you were to rename the Trophy after a Player/Coach/Owner as the NFL league Representative who would you suggest.

# 1 choice IMHO would be Pat Tillman

I think they should rename you!

Let’s go with DILLWEED

Yes, if only the Vikings could have had Bart Starr.

Me and my daughter been singing that all night!

Not worth it game going down hill hardly anyone watching a decade from now.

When I was a kid it was completely different and not that long ago. The players hated the other teams and weren’t buddies with their rivals.

Maybe baseball will make a comeback

Is ray rice in the running for naming the trophy? Or Elliot from the cowboys

Well 9 Coaches named Bill have their
Super Bowl Rings.

Should then be called
“The Super Bill Trophy”
Or after the 2018 Game it might just as well be the “Brady Bowl”.

I think we can all agree that ‘The Flutie Trophy’ has a much better ring to it.

Since QB is the most important position on the field, why wouldn’t we name it after the best QB of all time.
