This podcast episode delves into the storied history of the Green Bay Packers, particularly highlighting their remarkable 1936 championship season. The discussion features esteemed historian Bob Swick, who provides profound insights into the dynamics of a team that not only boasted four future Hall of Famers but also exemplified a groundbreaking balance between offense and defense in an era dominated by a more rudimentary style of play. We explore the significance of Coach Curly Lambeau's leadership and the pivotal role played by legendary athletes such as Arnie Herber and Don Hudson. As we recount the Packers' triumph over the Boston Redskins, we consider the broader implications of their success within the context of the NFL's early years. This exploration serves not only to inform but also to celebrate the enduring legacy of one of football's most iconic franchises.

You can find more of Bob Swick's work and his magazine at the Gridiron Greats website.
