The article on ESPN about College Football Face of the Program (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/face/index) got me thinking about the NFL.

Who do you say would be the "face" of the different franchises? It could be a player, coach, owner, stadium, tradition, play, game, etc.?

Steelers - Chuck Noll
Packers - Favre? Lambeau? Starr? Lombardi?
... other teams?

Discuss.

Cowboys - Tom Landry
Bears - Walter Payton
