Oh, Now They Tell Us

The Green Bay Press Gazette runs a nice article about how the son of Green Pay Packer great Ray Nitschke, was having an auction to sell off of some of his father's memorabilia. Well, that should be- had an auction.
By the time the Press-Gazette put the article online, the auction was over.

Rich Nitschke has a lot of his father’s possessions. His Minocqua home is stocked with Ray Nitschke jerseys, rings, jackets and plenty of items with a Packers logo on them.
And he decided it was time for some of it to go.A live auction will be held in Dallas today for 16 items owned by the Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker, who died in 1998 after winning five NFL championships, including Super Bowls I and II, with the Packers from 1958 to 1972. Online bidding, which ended Thursday night, ranged from about $300 to $7,000 for game-worn jerseys, his Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame ring, autographed game programs and other memorabilia.

You don't think any fans of the Green Bay Packers would have been interested in buying some souviners from one of the greatest Packers of all time, do you?
