Just received an e-mail that Packers great Max McGee died.
Max was Max.
Max used to do the radio play-by-play with Jim Irvin (from 1979-98) and like a lot people in Wisconsin, friends, family and I would turn down the TV so we could listen to "Jim and Max (and later Larry)," even though the sound was not synchronized with the picture.
The knowledgeable Max's humor and mirth combined perfectly with the analytical and good-natured Irvin on the air.
At away games, Max often colorfully described his socializing the local establishments the nights before games, focusing on the people whom he had met and with whom he likely had a few.
Packers are off this week, and a lot of people here who never met Max (though he met many) feel like they lost a friend.
