The Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame today posted a video of Max McGee, the late great wide receiver who is seen (below) saying that he wasn’t really pleased being drafted by the Packers, a team he didn’t know much about at the time.
He goes on to say that being drafted by a team way up in the “boonies” was the furthest thing on his mind. He thought he was going to Chicago or Los Angeles.
I guess things happen for a reason.
I won’t wreck any of the other interesting tidbits ol’ Max provides here. Take a look:

I am an award-winning journalist and photographer and have been editor of two weekly newspapers in northern Wisconsin for the past 23 years.
My love of the Green Bay Packers moved me to write columns for select websites in the mid- to late-1990s under the pen name of Apackphan. The opportunity to continue with lombardiave.com under that same pen name has been rewarding. Getting back into blogging has allowed me to renew the love of a team I have followed since I was a young boy.
