Max McGee, former Packer and later the team’s color announcer, died yesterday. Max was the voice of the Packers for most of my years growing up in Wisconsin. I remember listening to him and Jim Irvin on the car radio as we drove home from weekends in Door County. Even when we watched the games at home, we often turned down the sound on the television and turned on the radio; McGee’s avuncular and plainspoken style was so much more agreeable than the blaring prattle of the network sportscasters. I’m saddened to know that he’s no longer with us.
