SANDPOINT — On the eve of the first-ever Super Bowl, journeyman Packers receiver Max McGee went out on the town and missed the team curfew, not expecting to play the next day after making just four catches the entire season.

As fate would have it, injury would force him into the game, where he’d catch the first-ever Super Bowl touchdown en route to a 138 yard, two-score game in the Packers 35-10 win over the Chiefs.

The next year, Sandpoint’s Jerry Kramer would be pictured on the cover of Sports Illustrated, carrying Packers coach Vince Lombardi off the field after a 33-14 win over the Raiders in Super Bowl II.

But that was then, and this is now. Think you know who might win between the Packers and Steelers? Want to win an envelope filled with $50 cash? Then enter the free Super Bowl Challenge.
