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.

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : uh oh

Martha Careful (1-Apr) : Too bad camera's can't spot the ball as well.

Mucky Tundra (1-Apr) : So will the chain gang be gone completely or will they still be around as a backup or whatever?
