Packers “Tabloid News” in ’67

Packers’ HB Paul Hornung was the subject of a bit of “news” a few weeks after Super Bowl I in the LIFE magazine issue for February 3, 1967. Seems he had just tied the knot and it was something that the entire country should’ve known about — given his status as a “playboy” in those times. At least he wasn’t involved in a scandal for leaving inappropriate phone messages for a team staff member. We’re sure Lombardi would’ve loved the media attention for something like that, even though Paul was one of his favorites.
