Titletown Again (1997)

Titletown Again: The Super Bowl Season of the 1996 Green Bay Packers follows the familiar format of our last two posts, with summaries of each game of the season through Super Bowl XXXI, and plenty of photos. This book was the official commemorative offering from the team itself, and, like the others, deserves to reside in your collection.

From the book description: “There was a feeling, even from the sultry days of training camp,that these Green Bay Packers were special. There was nothing anyone could put a finger on exactly, just a premonition that the 1996 Packers were destined for something big. And the inklings of July turned into the reality of January as the Packers rolled to their first Super Bowl title in 29 years.

“It is a story that chronicles the determination of quarterback Brett Favre, who stunned the NFL by voluntarily committing himself to a rehab clinic to kick an addiction to painkillers. He responded by simply winning his second straight MVP award.”
