EDITORS NOTE: Today's Featured Player from 1996 is #67, pictured above in a recent print ad for "Just for Men."  Note how the hair is as jet black as his t-shirt. 

PACKER WEEK-END 1996

DECEMBER 20th-23rd

PACKERS vs. VIKINGS 

TB Andy Avery aka Aves, Spunker, Uncle Pervy. Axl, the Great Cereal Stirrer, Son of Lincoln

• Scouting Report: With 3 years of sport starting on his record, Avery has been on double secret probation for much of his career. A gutty performance during the 1994 campaign has added some long-lost-lost luster to his career, but with the strike season of 95, Avery will need to make some sacrifices to be ready for the upcoming season. This guy can get it done for you, but is sometimes questioned for his effort.  He will be needed in 96 and must perform!
• Injury Report:  With a wife and three children, Avery cannot afford to miss treatments,. Distance and travel plans could play a factor in his arrival, but he has dealt with these problems in the past.
• Game Day Status: Questionable.
• Career Highlight: Flying into Green Bay on Christmas Day 1994 [TRY 1993] after having dinner with Mary and Lincoln. What an effort!
• Career Lowlight:  Leaving evidence of alcohol on the snow in the Nickel front yard during the 1991 season [GIVE THE GUY A BREAK! HE WAS CELEBRATING HIS RECENT GRADUATION FROM COLLEGE].

NEXT MAN UP:  Mr. Mojo Risin
