Packers and Chiefs to kick off next preseason

[Dazedncnfz]

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers will play the Kansas City Chiefs in the annual Pro Football Hall of Fame Game on Aug. 4 in Canton, Ohio.

The Hall exhibition game starts off the preseason schedule.

''As I understand it, the commissioner (Paul Tagliabue) wanted to have the two teams that played in the first Super Bowl,'' Packers president Bob Harlan said. ''I'm very proud, and it's a nice honor for us. I was surprised when I got the call.''

The Packers beat the Chiefs 35-10 in Super Bowl I on Jan. 15, 1967, in Los Angeles.

Harlan said the league plans to invite the living members of those teams to the Hall of Fame festivities this year.

Wonder if Priest will be healthy by then!?!? That tackle looked an awful lot like what happened to Bo when he went down!!!

Bite your tongue!!....loseing Bo was bad enough, don't need to lose another back the same way...he has to much left to offer the NFL.
