The Packers have been pretty good for a long time, but most folks acknowledge the 1960s as the some of the glory years of a franchise with a history of glory years -- and NFL-record 13 championships. Five of those came in the 1960s. The death today of Hall of Fame defensive end Willie Davis, a key member of all five of those teams, led me to this haiku:
Willie Davis gone.
How many from glory years
Are still remaining?
I know many of the members of those teams have passed. I'm afraid to look up how many -- or few, really -- of my childhood heroes are still with us.
