A popular image of Packers great Ray Nitschke swooping down on Bears quarterback Rudy Bukich in the mid-60s. I happen to find this one in a 1966 football mag with the Packers schedule included for that year.

That first scrimmage play from Super Bowl II with Hewritt Dixon upside down set the tone for that game
One of my all time Packer favorites. Ray was a REAL football player.
Are you related to Tommy and Jeanette Griffin?? If you are then you know that Ray was one of Tommy Griffins best friends!! Tommy’s son Patrick used to go play at Rays house and snow mobile at his 40 acre ranch in the winter!!
Ray played the game it was suppose to be played !! He gave 100% on every play, mean, tough, & took no names ! I miss that in today’s NFL
