As we prepare for this weekend's Playoffs. A look back in Time...

...to the Lambeau Leap! The very first one by LeRoy Butler! The greatest celebration between player and fans in my opinion. Of course I'm biased. Who wouldn't be? Also, great footage of the late Reggie White.

Also, this is a very good article on the leap.

I love the way this team and the people are so tied together. Little Green Bay with their great big Pro team.

Rogers has to use significant upper body to get up on the ledge whereas Nelson pretty much just lands on the ledge from his jump.

That celebration afterwards would have been declared excessive today and they would have been penalized!
