There's a lot of great things to say about the Packers in the 1960s, but go back one decade earlier, before Vince Lombardi took over. The Packers were a different team, one that rarely won in the 1950s. However, that doesn't mean they lacked star quality. One standout was Tobin Rote. Before Bart Starr came on board, Rote was a good quarterback, and during the 1950s, he threw a significant number of touchdown passes. Only Norm Van Brocklin and Bobby Layne threw more touchdown passes than Rote during that decade. In 1956, his 29 combined rushing and passing touchdowns were the most ever in a 12-game schedule.

Considering how great this team was in the 1960s, we often ask: what if the Packers hadn't hired Vince Lombardi as head coach in 1959? He took over a team that was talented in 1958, but only had one win to show for their efforts. He molded that talent, and by 1959 and into the 1960s, the team not only had talent, but also the wins and championships to match. The Packers became a team of legend, playing in some of the NFL's all-time greatest games. There were a whole lot of Hall of Famers on those 1960s Packers - a team for all times.

How important were the Giants to the eventual future of NFL Films? In 1960, CBS aired a 1-hour TV special called The Violent World of Sam Huff, featuring Huff being wired for sound during a preseason game against the Chicago Bears. His ferocious battles in the trenches were heard from coast to coast, making Huff an international celebrity in a sport that was rising in popularity during the 1960s.
The New York Giants represent what New York sports are all about. Before Bill Parcells came along, the Giants housed many Hall of Famers and legends. The Giants of the 1950s even had Vince Lombardi and Tom Landry as assistant coaches at the same time. Truly a legendary team.

Hats off to this year's Cleveland Browns for achieving their first winning record in 13 years (2007). This brings to mind a time when winning was a habit, and so were championships. However, it was their very first National Football League game on September 16, 1950, that served notice to the sports world that this team was not a bush league team. Facing the reigning two-time world champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, the Browns turned it into a shocking no contest, winning 35-10. NFL Commissioner Bert Bell once said they were "the greatest team to ever play the game." The Browns had truly arrived.

The Eagles felt the shock of that 1950 opening day loss to the Browns. But to be fair, this team had its share of great players, none more important on offense than running back Steve Van Buren. Van Buren carried the Eagles to the 1948 and 1949 championships. The 1948 game, played in a Philadelphia blizzard, was the first championship game to be televised. The stadium lights were on for the entire game. Van Buren went wild, even through the snow, with 26 carries for 98 yards and scored the only touchdown in the Eagles' 7-0 win over the Chicago Cardinals.

The Colts were a downtrodden team for so long, but then slowly things began to change. In 1956, they added Johnny Unitas to the team, and in just three short seasons, Baltimore was transformed into the original Title Town U.S.A., long before the Packers made it routine. The Colts maintained their winning tradition all the way until 1971. By then, the Colts had captured three world championships, including the 1968 NFL Championship. In the 1958 season alone, they had seven members of the Colts franchise inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It was truly a golden era.

The Colts were legendary, as seen through the glory days from 1956 to 1971, and so were their awards.

Johnny Unitas and Earl Morrall won Player of the Year in 1964, 1967, and 1968, and Unitas himself won the 1970 Man of the Year award.

The Canton Bulldogs were the founding fathers of the National Football League, and this team had its most famous player, Jim Thorpe. Thorpe could play on both offense and defense. He carried the Bulldogs to the championships you see listed, but he wasn't the only impact player on the team. Other stars like Guy Chamberlin, Pete Henry, and Cap Edwards were among the few that made the Bulldogs the NFL's first dynasty, inspiring the city of Canton to later build the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
