The Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders are each represented twice.Īccording to Steve Sabol, president of NFL Films, only 20 teams were ranked instead of 40 because they feared negative mail from fans of the franchise whose team was ranked the lowest. Of the "Blue Ribbon" top 20 teams, the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys are represented most often as a franchise with three championship teams each. Ernie Accorsi and Rich Dalrymple are the only non-players or coaches to be interviewed for the series-both were team administrators. Recurring interviewers would become more commonplace when the show resumed on an annual format: Eli Manning and Tom Coughlin (20 New York Giants), Ray Lewis (20 Baltimore Ravens), Peyton Manning (2006 Indianapolis Colts and 2015 Denver Broncos), Julian Edelman (2014, 20 New England Patriots), LeGarrette Blount (2016 New England Patriots and 2017 Philadelphia Eagles), Rob Gronkowski and Devin McCourty (20 New England Patriots). For the original run of 40 episodes, only two subjects were interviewed twice: Bill Curry (1966 Green Bay Packers and 1970 Baltimore Colts) and Joe Greene (19 Pittsburgh Steelers). For example, though Bill Belichick coached the New England Patriots to three Super Bowls in four years ( 2001, 2003, and 2004) he was only interviewed for the episode on the 2004 team. In instances of teams winning multiple Super Bowls closely together different people are interviewed for each episode.
