00:03 - I would ask you this, LeRoy,
00:04 'cause you could speak to this more.
00:06 So many people say that it all started, not with Favre,
00:10 they all say it started with Reggie White
00:13 choosing the Packers in a free agency
00:16 that no one would have ever imagined him going there.
00:19 Do you think that that was how it all began from there?
00:21 - Great question, Craig.
00:24 I think, I appreciate you bringing that up
00:27 because I think some of the younger people,
00:30 the millennials don't know that Reggie sued the league
00:34 to become a free agent.
00:37 So he was headlined everywhere.
00:40 And this is a true story.
00:42 I thought he was going to San Francisco
00:45 and Mike Holmgren and Ron Wolf had a plan.
00:49 And Ron Wolf, it was two things real quick.
00:53 Holmgren left him a message, said, "Reggie, this is God.
00:56 He says, come to Green Bay."
00:57 It was hilarious.
00:59 But I think what really sealed it
01:01 is when Ron Wolf said, "You can go anywhere else
01:04 and be a fantastic Hall of Fame player.
01:07 But if you come to Green Bay, the smallest market,
01:10 you'll be a legend."
01:12 And when Reggie heard that, it changed him.
01:17 He was coming part of a culture
01:20 and he changed everything,
01:22 faith, football and fans.
01:27 I mean, that's a great way.
01:28 And then we won the Super Bowl.
01:30 So it's just a great story.
