Episode 147: Remembering the 1996 Green Bay Packers

Even though the Green Bay Packers still have two games left this
year, the season is pretty much over. Last week's loss to the
Chicago Bears mathematically eliminated Green Bay from playoff
contention for the second consecutive season. Despite making the
Pro Bowl, Aaron Rodgers hasn't looked himself lately. Mike
McCarthy was fired earlier this month, and a few veteran players
are surely on the way out as well. All things considered, it's
been a tough year.


Instead of bothering to look for more reasons to keep watching
the 2018 Packers, we decided to devote a whole podcast episode to
looking back at better times. Host Tyler Maas asked Rick
Katschke—friend of the site, vintage commercial enthusiast,
former Family Feud contestant, and longtime Packer
backer—to come to his kitchen and talk about the '96 Packers
squad that won Super Bowl XXXI. With a team photo nearby,
they talked about each and every player on the team, memories of
that historic season, and updates on where some of those Packers
are today. If you want semi-informed discussion about the likes
of Don Beebe, Lamont Hollinquest, and Bob Kuberski, you're in the
right place.
