Former Packer Max McGee Dies - Scored 1st Super Bowl TD

The Pack in 1962. Paul Hornung(5), Jim Taylor(31), Max McGee(8) and Bart Starr(15).

Said McGee, "That group scored more touchdowns than anyone in the history of the NFL."

Former Green Bay Packers receiver Max McGee died late Saturday afternoon following an accident at his home in Deephaven, Minnesota. He fell off his roof while blowing leaves of it. Can you believe that shit?

From 1958 to 1964, McGee was one of the NFL's best wide receivers, but injuries limited him to 10 catches in 1965 and only four in 1966. Following the 1966 season, McGee became famous for breaking curfew and staying out all night prior to Super Bowl I because he didn't expect to play. But starting receiver Boyd Dowler separated a shoulder on the third play of the game, and coach Vince Lombardi sent a shocked McGee into the game. McGee proceeded to score the first touchdown in Super Bowl history on a 37-yard reception from Bart Starr. In all, he had seven catches for 138 yards and two touchdowns as the Packers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 35-10.

McGee's a former color announcer for the Packers and co-founder of Chi-Chi's restaurants.

This is sad. He went way before he should have. It's not fair.
