Black and Blue (paperback)
Bob Berghaus
Formed in 1967, the NFL's Central Division, made up of the Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, Detroit Lions, and Minnesota Vikings, quickly earned the nickname “Black and Blue Division” due to the teams' fierce, physical play. Through the years, many of the toughest men in pro football have played in the Black and Blue — from Butkus to Nitschke, Eller to Spielman, Favre to Singletary to Karras to the Purple People Eaters.
Now known as the NFC North, the rivals still battle each other twice a year, celebrating their 40th season together in 2006. Black and Blue celebrates along with them, recalling the great plays and players, the memorable seasons, and the crucial games through first-hand interviews with players and coaches and first-rate photography. Capsule summaries of every game played in the division make this an essential reference for every football fan.

First America's Team: The 1962 Green Bay Packers
Bob Berghaus
The first book focused on Vince Lombardi's greatest team and arguably the most dominant team in pro football history: the 1962 Green Bay Packers.
The 1962 Green Bay Packers are still considered one of
the most dominating teams in the history of the National Football
League. In 2007, when the New England Patriots were trying to become the
first team to go unbeaten during a 16-game season and win the Super
Bowl, there were many stories written about their place in history, and
the ’62 Packers were always listed among the top three teams of all
time.
There are a number of books on the Packers already, showing
a strong and sustained interest in one of the most popular sports
franchises in America. There are also a number of books—though far
fewer—on the Packers of the Vince Lombardi era. There has never been a
book, however, focused on Lombardi’s, and (arguably) pro football’s,
greatest team: the 1962 Packers.
The 1962 Green Bay Packers
will examine how the team was built and on Lombardi's coaching staff,
how four of the five assistants went on to become head coaches -- Bill
Austin, Tom Fears, Norb Hecker and Phil Bengtson. The team was rich with
personalities, from the glamour-conscience Hourning to the emotional
Nitschke to the laconic Starr. Of course, the strongest personality of
all was Lombardi’s, who shaped these many unique individuals and talents
into a team so dominant it changed the game forever. The Packers of
this era won five championships in seven years, including the first two
Super Bowls, creating a dynasty in the smallest market in professional
sports. The 1962 team was the signature team and their power sweep
became a national phenomenon. Despite playing in little Green Bay, the
players on Lombardi's team became national heroes. This really was the
first America's Team.
