Max McGhee loved to imbibe; he wasn't supposed to play in the first Super Bowl, circa 1967, after staying out past curfew and well, imbibing. But as fate would have it, Boyd Dowler sustained an injury and fate stepped in. And so did Max...onto the field, that is.
His first catch was for a touchdown. And before it was over, he caught 7 passes, two for touchdowns. An instant hero as the Packers drubbed the Kansas City Chiefs 35-10.
"When it's third and ten," McGhee once said, " You can take the milk drinkers, and I'll take the whiskey drinkers every time."
