George Teague, a safety who was one of the Packers' 1st-round picks in 1993, turns 43 today. He helped hold the Lions' Barry Sanders to minus-1 yard in an NFC wild-card playoff game at Lambeau Field on New Year's Eve 1994.

While I grew tired of George's lack of speed as his GBP career went on, I will forever hold him in high esteem for his leveling of TO on the dallass star.

He learned that from being a GBP.

That was pretty great, and TO wonders why everyone thought he was\is a douchebag.

 

I looked and was unable to find a video of Teague's 101 yard interception return against the Loins, I was going to post that too.

Too bad. That was a helluva game!

As I recall, the Pack had struggled most of the game on offense, it was fairly late in the 4th quarter, and the Loins were deep in Packers territory/in the red zone, driving for a score that would've sealed the game for them.

Then, that INT...and seeing the return open up!

If memory is still serving, Teague was so slow, they started the replay before he reached the end zone.

Two things I noticed while watching that clip.

- Dierdorf drooling over the Favrian play and barely mentioning Hendo.

- Rodgers makes that play going to his left without having to stop and plant.

 

 

1. Rodgers makes that play 30 yards down the field, not to a guy 10 yards away with two guys closing in fast.

2. One of the best plays made by the under-appreciated (by those not in GB) Henderson. Before Kuhn, there was Henderson and he was good.

that really was an incredible pass no matter what else.

and seeing guys wearing real, actual shoulder pads always warms my heart.

love the cameras showing that lady opening her jacket to show her "bears suck" sweater too.

it actually says 'chicago bears suck' boss.  at 5:22.

'sucks' is not that clear but I remember the days of that sweatshirt.

and Iron Mike is sure looking fancy in that hat.

Thank you, guys.

 

This was BDTV (Before DirecTV).  I was at Pacific Beach Sports Bar here in San Diego.  Since the Packers always sucked, all they gave me was a small TV in the back room.  Needless to say, I was the only Packer Fan there watching. I didn't get any sound either.  So all I could do was guess what was being said by the announcers.

 

 Yes indeed!  A Blast From the Past!
