I was maybe 10y old, 1967 I think, 10 of the GB Packers came to CT and played a charity basketball game against, I can’t remember, either a local HS or college team. I met 8 of them and got their autographs on the program (which I haven’t seen since 1974). I specifically remember Jerry Cramer, Forrest Gregg, Doug Hart, and the unmistakable and unforgettable crazy man Ray Nitschke. They did not make much $ in those days, SB1 didn’t even sell out. I was much too young and stupid to know what was in front of me.

Back in "67" before the merger...Jack Kemp was the quarterback for The AFL Buffalo Bills...he signed a contract for 25,000.00,,,which was thought to be HUGE...a couple years later Broadway Joe Namath signed with the Jets for 400,000.00....but I believe the first million dollar contract.went to Green Bay Packers half back #44 Donnie Anderson....and we haven't looked back
