That's eff'd up! He transformed the youngest team in the NFL from a bunch of bumbling kids to a serious playoff team. No one deserves coach of the year more than LaFleur. lacrossetribune.com/sports/pro

La Crosse TribuneMatt LaFleur saw ‘cracks’ during up-and-down year, but coach never let them sink PackersAfter a 2-5 start, the coach guided the Packers to 8 wins in their next 11 games.

It makes me very happy that the are no longer losing games they were expected to win, and instead they are winning games they were expected to lose.

If they keep playing like this, they'll end the season at 11-6 and in the playoffs.

Why we love the :

"..the US’s only major nonprofit, publicly owned professional sports team.

"Instead of a sole wealthy owner who won’t hesitate to leave if the city doesn’t pay up, the Packers are owned by more than 500,000 community shareholders....
