Sunday's Super Bowl XLV between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers is truly a game for the ages. It matches the two most storied franchises in NFL History. The Packers  won the first two Super Bowls and were one of  the first real sports dynasties. That's the reason the championship trophy is named after their former coach the legendary Vince Lombardi. Pittsburgh is appearing in a record 8th SB and has won more Lombardi's than any other franchise (6). It's only fitting that these two teams are playing  for the right to be crowned champion and be known as the best football team on the planet for one year. The Packers and Steelers are rich in tradition and both literally have their own wings in the Hall of Fame.  Some of the names are Starr, Bradshaw, Nitschke, Green, Horning, Harris, Davis, Lambert, Kramer, Swann, White, Blunt and so many more which are part of the HOF fraternity. Great coaches like Curly Lambeau  (The man the Packers home field was named after), Chuck Knoll (4 championships with the Steelers), Holmgren, Cowher and Lombardi. You now can add Mike Tomlin and Mike McCarthy to that list.  It is a testament to the sustained excellence of both franchises that after Sunday they would have played in a combined 13 Super Bowls. The Steelers and the Packers are the two class organizations of the NFL and it's only right that they will finally meet with the the Lombardi Trophy on the line. After 44 years Pro Football fans truly get to see a  "Super Match-Up"
