Michael Irvin almost a Green Bay Packer?

By dcfanatic,


Have you ever known something and then forgot about it and then upon hearing it you remember it all over again?

Michael Irvin was almost a Green Bay Packer

Wow. That was back in 1988 so I would hope Green Bay is a lot different these days. I hope this entire country sees things a lot different than how it was back in 1988.

That was a good listen though because it's that kind of off the field stuff that us fans may not ever hear about.

And of course we are more than happy that the Cowboys wound up taking
Michael Irvin in the draft and he became one of the Triplets.

Irvin and Aikman both were almost Packers.

GB won on the road to close the 88 season (at then "Phoenix" Cardinals)...all they had to do was lose (as they were expected to) and they'd have had the #1 pick and drafted Aikman. IIRC there was a story that Aikman was actually at that game and was wearing a GB hat, though I dont know if its true.

Still, we were awful close to never having Irvin or Aikman.

So I was born in '88 so I don't quite get what Irvin is talking about. Did Greenbay have a reputation as a racist city back then?
