Let’s Go Get Those Chiefs!

Since those Native American-named fellows are coming to Green Bay for the final exhibition game tomorrow evening, we thought we’d put up a photo from Super Bowl I — or, as it was officially known — The First A.F.L.-N.F.L. World Championship Game. We see the players being introduced to the Los Angeles Coliseum crowd on January 15, 1967 as head coach Vince Lombardi looks on. Heading out to the cheers of the crowd is G Fred “Fuzzy” Thurston (#63), to be followed by T Forrest Gregg (#75), T Bob Skoronski (#76), and later, WR Carroll Dale (#84), and WR Boyd Dowler (#86).
