It should be named after Halas, who did a lot more for the game. But I don't expect you to agree, though I could probably live with Curly Lambeau over Lombardi, too. Lombardi was at the right place at the right time; had the Super Bowls started two years later they might have named it after Weeb Ewbank (which would've sounded a lot freakier. 
)
)if lombardi hadn't died so suddenly after winning the first two it would probably still be named the "world championship game trophy". if bert bell had lived until the merger, the trophy would probably be named after him. i mean, there's plenty of people in the NFL history it could be named after, but nobody dominated the game like lombardi did in his career, and the nature of his sudden illness and death gave a lot of people a lot of reasons to honor his contribution to the game in some meaningful fashion...

I tend to agree, though some say that just prevented a threepeat (Note:No one in Green Bay does. )

Defensive pressure trumps absolutely everything else in football. '85 Bears were the kings.

Have a look at the teams to win the SB since '80 and then we'll talk.

I referenced teams that have won since the '80s, as well as one from before then.

Failure to report some payments isn't a huge deal nor deliberate circumvention.
