Prolific journalist Dick Schaap knows how to talk sports: He has written 31 books, including collaborations with Bo Jackson, Joe Namath and Joe Montana. But Schaap's first love, and biggest moneymaker, has been writing about Vince Lombardi's great Packer teams of the '60s. Therefore, it's no surprise when, in the introduction to his sixth book about Green Bay football, he admits, "I am not objective. I am emotionally involved… I love these men." Green Bay Replay cannot even remotely be considered reportage, but it is possibly the best love letter to a sports team ever written. Schaap uses the famous and possibly insane loyalty of Packer fans, the demigod status of Lombardi-era players, and the archetypal nice-guy-hero quality of the 1996 championship team to frame his unashamedly passionate story, and it works. The book isn't untempered; Schaap admits, for example, that Green Bay's generally good history of racial interaction is probably due to the fact that the few black men who live there are presumed to be connected with the team, and that players probably stay out of trouble because there's nothing to do in town. That's about it, as far as analysis is concerned. Green Bay Replay, like football itself, is not for everyone, and there are certainly better books about football as a sport. As a book about fanhood, though, it's one of the best.
