52 may be young but I don’t have dementia...

You are right the Viqueens were 1969 NFL Champions, but they were not World Champions, as you claimed, because they embarrassed the NFL by losing to the 1969 AFL Champion Kansas City Chiefs.

The first two Super Bowls were called the “AFL-NFL World Championship Game”. Strange designation for an exhibition I’d say. After the second “AFL-NFL World Championship Game” they changed the name to “Super Bowl”.

I can understand your confusion though, since the Viqueens played as if it were an exhibition game.

I’ll give you props though. Nice try at minimizing the failure of the Viqueens to secure the ultimate championship in any season.

The BIG money was still earned in the NFL Championship before the merger. They couldn't even fill the stadiums.

At least Brett Farve can retire without having to go through what Bart Starr had to endure his last years playing for Phil Bengston and a team that couldn't pay for an offensive line to keep him safe. How's Rodgers holding up? I predict another 2 years at the rate he's going before he's out for good. It's too bad, he's a good QB.
