And there was some LB who blew up on a flight back home I can't recall the name of (Wayne Simmons? Anthony Simmons?). I think he was traded from Cincy to the Pack, and didn't last but a year or two?
The Chmura thing was total BS.
I know the whole story from people involved. The girl who cried wolf was a mental case. Chewy was in the bathroom changing and she goes in and locks the door behind her. He did nothing. She did it for the attention.

It's always remarkable when comparing the size of past players to the ones of today.
Andy, at G, was 6' 0" 240 lbs. About the size of an ILB today, maybe a little shorter.
Ken, at C, was even smaller. At 6' 1" 225 lbs, he's about the equivalent of a DB today.
Crazy!
The "Hogs" 1982 Redskin OL averaged 273 pounds. That was considered 'big' back in the day.
I was hanging some shirts up in the closet and had the urge to poop. While on the hopper, I had a thought.

Howard "Smiley" Johnson Only Packer WWII casualty of war. From Packers.com:
The roll call needs to start with Howard "Smiley" Johnson, the Packers' only war casualty. Recipient of two Silver Stars, Johnson was killed in action at Iwo Jima. He played guard for the Packers in 1940 and '41, and was a second lieutenant with the 23rd Marines when he died at age 28.
Johnson grew up in an orphanage near Clarksville, Tenn., and played college football at the University of Georgia. With the Packers, he played behind four veteran guards, all of whom are in the Packers Hall of Fame, but appeared to have a bright future. Pete Tinsley, one of those veteran guards, told me in 1991 Smiley probably would have been one of the best guards in the league if he had lived to resume his career following World War II. "He was a tough one," said Tinsley.
How about the only Green Bay Packer I've ever had a real conversation with:
"Samurai" Nick Barnett
Who was the third down back in early 2000's? that whenever he came into the game, you knew he was getting the ball and yet he always got the first down?
DH13, was that Tony Fisher? I saw someone mention his name earlier.
Not a Packer, but great name:

I remember Chris Akins blowing up on the sideline.
Your story sounds familiar, but I can't remember the name either.

Yes! Tony Fisher. He was an automatic first down on third and whatever. I was dumbfounded how many times they converted with him. And the next season he disappeared.
Oh, and another thing.

Speaking of some guys:
Three Fat Guys Wines
Proprietor and winemaker Tony Moll became well known in Sonoma Valley long before he filled his first barrel. A fourth-generation Sonoman and sports standout at Sonoma Valley High and the University of Nevada, he went on to play in the NFL for the Green Bay Packers, Baltimore Ravens and San Diego Chargers. As a 6-foot-5, 320-pound offensive lineman, he blocked for quarterbacks Brett Favre, Joe Flacco and Philip Rivers. Now he delivers wine on the Sonoma Valley block.
âIf you donât want to leave your home, we will come to you,â he said. âItâs nice just seeing happy people when we put our wine in their hands, be it local delivery, curbside pickup at the tasting room on Saturdays or shipped (for $3). Iâm in the business to make people happy, so I like to make sure that happens.â
Most NFL offensive linemen claim they arenât fat, theyâre just well-muscled with plenty of padding. Two of his Packers teammates, Daryn Colledge and Jason Spitz are the other Fat Guys founders. While theyâre in the background now, the brand name is based on the girth of the threesome during their playing days. They produce chardonnay, pinot noir and cabernet sauvignon from such noted vineyards as Sangiacomo in Sonoma and Beckstoffer in Napa Valley. Military members, first responders and school teachers receive a 50% discount on wines once they join the wine club.
You'd think they could come up with some more adventurous grape varieties.
I could go for a Vermentino or Monastrell right about now.
Saw a post on another thread about missing John Brockington. How about his backfield partner, MacArthur Lane?
Man, they were just a GREAT, GREAT tandem.

When I was going to UW-Green Bay in the late 80s, Ed West was taking classes there and played in our intramural basketball league. He wasn't a great player, but when he went up for a rebound, it was his....nobody else was going to get it.
When he REALLY wanted to get a rebound he had quick powerful hands to snatch it and you could actually hear the slap of his hands on the ball from a distance as he snagged it. That gave you an idea of what he could do as an inline blocker, his quick hand strikes probably helped give him a blocking advantage against some bigger guys.

No shit....I had no idea. Have to pay those dudes a visit when I can.
Get me a new avatar pic. I want to photoshop it onto Otto.
Let's add Fred Carr to this. Number 53, Carr as a linebacker was great at blowing up screen plays. It's what I remember about him the most, off the top of my head. I looked up Fred Carr on Youtube and they had a bio of him but the picture showed a white guy. Get it right, youtube!

1978 week 4 @SD Chargers.
You heard Howard right, SD had 11 turnovers in the game! Willie Buchanan, my all time favorite player had 4 int in the game and one TD.
GB had 9 first downs, 7 completions on the day, gave up 10 sacks, had 9 net passing yards, 11 penalties for 105 yds and won in a blow out!
