Hey does anyone know the song that starts at 0:26 ???
@aktxag Lombardi’s Packers would kick any team today to the curb. Forget size and speed. That was a 85 yard sweep for a touch down. The left tackle (#76 I should know his name) decleated his man and raced downfield to keep #44 off Taylor. The recievers blocked well. Taylor followed the blocks all the way, broke a tackle and carried a defender into the end zone. Second effort? Try third and fourth effort. No defense today would be able to stop an offense with such amazing execution and effort.
Every young person needs a Vince Lombardi in their life. Too bad that many of them don’t.
@lukehusky CAPS LOCKS MUCH BRO! WHAT ABOUT PAUL BROWN? HAVE YOU EVEN HEARD OF HIM?
@aaronhirshberg
I WISH I WAS OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE SEEN HIM…I WAS BORN IN 1968 ..GO PACKERS!
THE GREATEST COACH EVER !!
At 2:35 is the most well blocked play I have ever seen, and this play occurred almost 50 years ago. General Neyland once said, “Touchdowns follow blocking just as sure as night follows day.” This play is a prime example of that. One interesting fact is that Coach Lombardi is largely credited with inventing the zone blocking scheme that Alex Gibbs is so famous for.
@lmswentzeljr The piece you year during that time frame is a song by Sam Spence called “Wild Bunch”. It is one of the iconic pieces that Sam Spence did for NFL Films in the 70s. Sam Spence and the great John Facenda were made for each other.
There is NOT a better 4 minute film about the NFL. 5 Stars.
Vince Lombardi is the Greatest Football Coach in World History & is still the standard bearer that Football Coaches are held to today 40 years after his death
thats true commitment to excellence
In September, 2010, it will have been FORTY YEARS since Lombardi died. Hard to believe. I have been a Packers fan since 1965 and I remember seeing Vince Lombardi standing on the sidelines on live TV. “WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON OUT THERE!!!???”
what music is this from 0:27-1:29
With Lombardi, he coached with fear being put into the other team. He used consistent plays like the Packer sweep to show how strong his will was and to show how effective it was. He truly deserves to be named the greatest coach in NFL history.
@emi1chin Yeah but he’s the reason why the Packers are the greatest and has HIS NAME on the NFL’s GREATEST TROPHY
Screw Lombardi. He was basically an asshole and a rotten human being. A self-centered ass.
omfg the music is epic along with the narration
Best. Coach. Ever.
“I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle…Victorious.”
Quite simply, the greatest football coach ever.
What the hell’s going on out here? Grab, grab, grab nobody tackling.
Lombardi has reached the legendary status that few have or will ever achieve! Faccenda’s work is fitting, there is no other who’s voice is more appropriate to commemorates the life and legacy of Mr. Lombardi!
Bart Starr was interviewed and voiced the opinion that Lombardi would have liked Favre. The reason being Brett’s competetiveness.
I totally completely agree. With the passing of John Facenda, and the retirement of composer Sam Spence, NFL Films is not the powerhouse it was. Plus, the NFL has gone “hollywood.” NFL Fims is being phased out by NFL Network…
Lombardi is awesome
