Take a quick look back at Super Bowl LI in this time-lapse of the big game.
Paul Tagliabue was a brilliant lawyer who served as NFL commissioner for much of the time that I was with the Packers. I found him to be a reasoned and consensus-building leader who valued relationships with not only his constituent owners but also with the players. Tagliabue and NFLPA leader Gene Upshaw represented the last time the NFL and NFLPA were truly a partnership; the current relationship between the two is characterized by a palpable lack of trust. Tagliabue showed us that adversaries did not have to be enemies.
