Anyone see that Donald Driver commercial where he's in a nursing home in Green Bay and old people (people even older than Vikesrule)

I thought with a player like Don Hutson, we'd have a plethora of material.

The "Alabama Antelope"; (Great read for facts about Hutson.)

"I don't know if there is such a thing as royalty in professional football," said Packers general manager Ron Wolf as he stood next to Hutson at the dedication ceremony, "but this is the closest I've ever come to it."

Not enough credit has been given to the impact that Hutson had upon the game and how it was played. A man before his time, a pioneer upon the history of the game. It is fitting the Packers named something after him.. a true great.

The thing is, only our site historian and Vikesrule were alive when Hutson was playing.

I'd have tons of material if I had watched him. I do however, have stats. Keep in mind, he played both O & D and retired with pretty much every record in the book.

He also created half the receiving routes that are used today.

Here's something amazing:

As of the end of the 2007 NFL season, Hutson still holds the following records: Most seasons leading league in pass receptions (8), Most consecutive seasons leading league in pass receptions (5), Most seasons leading league in pass receiving yards gained (7), Most consecutive seasons leading league in pass receiving yards gained (4), Most seasons leading league in pass receiving touchdowns (9), Most consecutive seasons leading league in pass receiving touchdowns (5), Most seasons leading league in scoring (5), and Most consecutive seasons leading league in scoring (5) (Source: NFL Record and fact book).

For his first play ever, he caught an 83-yard TD pass from Arnie Herber. During Hutson's career, the Packers won 3 titles. In 1941 and 1942, he was NFL MVP. In 1940, he led the NFL in INTs (as I said earlier, he played both O & D). He was also our Kicker.

He also holds the record for most seasons leading the league in touchdowns scored with 8 (second behind him is three people with 3) and most consecutive times leading the league in touchdowns having twice done it 4 times in a row. Just for good measure he's also third on the list for seasons leading the league in PATs with 3.

I think he's gonna have a breakout season in 2009, if Driver and Jennings don't poach too many looks from him.

Martha Careful (13h) : Yes, in the military S2’s work on IPB, PERCEC, PHYSEC and IO

dfosterf (4-May) : FYI civilian companies swipe the S2 designation from the military. S2 is the intelligence branch up to brigade level. G2 is division level.

dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning

Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?

beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.

dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition

Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.

beast (4-May) : NFL really needs to fix their position labeling issue, but I don't think they care

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Packers did not activate the fifth-year options for linebacker Quay Walker, with the goal of signing him to a contract extension.

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Matthew Golden spoke with Randall Cobb before draft. Looked like chance encounter.

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : from a head left turn?

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : someone drunk?

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Unlikely.

dfosterf (30-Apr) : How long until Jeff Sperbeck's family sues John Elway ?

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.

beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans

dfosterf (30-Apr) : Luke Elzinga Punter Oklahoma stil unsigned. Green Bay has been mentioned as good fit

beast (30-Apr) : The Packers re-signed three exclusive rights free agents WR Melton, P Whelan and RB Wilson.

bboystyle (29-Apr) : Tom*

Martha Careful (28-Apr) : RIP Packer Safety Tim Brown

beast (27-Apr) : Yeah, but also some of the wording suggestions Jax only pranked called the QB, not the others... and if he had an open spreadsheet & 3 calls

beast (27-Apr) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.

beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot

beast (27-Apr) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.

Martha Careful (27-Apr) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?

Mucky Tundra (26-Apr) : saw the tweet, he meant the city

Mucky Tundra (26-Apr) : Was that for the team or the city?

Zero2Cool (26-Apr) : Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter · 3m Draft grade is in: Green Bay gets an A. The people, the city, the venue were all superb. NFL Draft’s next
