In 1967 Dick Schaap and Jerry Kramer wrote the definitive work on the Vince Lombardi-era Green Bay Packers. Entitled Instant Replay, the book sold two million copies and became the standard by which all other sports books were measured. Now with "Green Bay Replay" Dick Schaap revisits the revitalized Green Bay Packers. "Green Bay Replay" is three compelling stories in one. The first is of one of sports' most heralded franchises, winner of numerous NFL championships, the first two Super Bowls and the second most popular merchandising logo in the NFL. The second is of a town of less than 100,000 that lives and breathes Packers football and has sold out every home game for decades ... even when the Packers went through a slump of longer than 20 years. And the third is of the building of a new dynasty, led by coach Mike Holmgren, quarterback Brett Favre and defensive end Reggie White, culminating in victory at Super Bowl XXXI. Written with unparalleled access to all members of the Packers organization, "Green Bay Replay" is the definitive look at football's most jubilant story -- presented with the warmth and insight that make Dick Schaap a singular sports chronicler.
