The myth: Curly Lambeau quit the Packers because certain members of the executive committee were jealous of him. The truth: Lambeau quit the Packers because the executive committee put restraints on him that prevented him from abusing the authority that he had misused and misappropriated in the past. The History of the Green Bay Packers: The Lambeau Years, Part 3 finally gets the story straight about those turbulent years in professional football immediately following World War II. In this controversial narrative about the Green Bay Packers, Larry Names has captured the essence of the team and its riveting history. The numerous real-life stories contained herein reveal how The Green Bay Packers, Inc., fought overwhelming odds from forces outside - and inside - the corporation to stay alive and in Green Bay. The National Football League engaged in a struggle for its very existence in the years after World War II. The upstart All-America Conference made a real challenge to the NFL's supremacy in the professional football world, raiding the established league for players and causing an inflationary spiral in salaries that nearly bankrupted a majority of teams in both leagues. The two organizations appeared to be headed for total destruction before a merger could be accomplished in 1949. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were lost during this war, and several franchises went by the wayside. The Green Bay Packers came within an eyelash of being one of those teams that was shifted to another city or went belly-up during the conflict. Several powerful men in the NFL - including one very prominent man in Green Bay - wanted the Packers moved to another city, preferably San Francisco where they could compete with the AAC's 49ers or to Dallas or New Orleans in order to get a foothold in Texas or the South before the AAC moved in. For the first time the real story has been told of how the Packers managed to stay in Green Bay despite the overt acts of football moguls all around the country and the subversive tactics of the man who was credited with founding the team.
