Flashback Friday: 1942 Packers Highlights
Flashback Friday posts have become a favorite thing of mine. It usually has something to do with the Green Bay Packers. Why? Well, they have the best legacy, and Aaron Nagler of CheeseheadTV seems to have the collection of Flashback Friday’s in his back pocket. This one is a gem. Someone put together clips of the 1942 Green Bay Packers. It is grainy, black-and-white and awesome. The creator put context with all of these clips, so, you know what’s going on with these highlights. Yes, it’s 17 minutes long, but take some time to check this out.
This is incredible. https://t.co/O9K57JLb5W

There are legends in here like Don Hutson and Tony Canadeo are featured in these highlights. There is a great clip in here about Hutson making a one-handed catch in 1942 which seems nuts to me. I get that everyone could make a one-handed catch but still, that feels a little absurd to me. If you’re wondering if this Packers team won a championship, they did not. They were a good team though finishing 8-2-1 but lost twice to the Chicago Bears who were 11-0. That’s an annoying thing to find out and probably ruin my Friday.
