RIP golden Boy. He was before my time but I got a kick seeing him in the Nissan Heisman House commercials.

I remember him clearly we were stunned when we lost him to the expansion draft. Great football player. He was a wild man in his day. But, nothing compared to today’s National Felon League.

Spent many Sundays and Thanksgivings watching he and the Pack, seemingly always playing the Bears or Lions. RIP Paul.

I loved that he was Lombardi’s favorite son, and also his whipping boy when needed.

Lombardi was heartbroken at the gambling scandal when it happened.

I liked Hornung, may he RIP.

Growing up in NYC area (50s/60s) I rooted for the Giants and hated the Packets .... Paul Hornung, Bart Starr, Jim Taylor, etc. Their ability to constantly beat the Giants was just incredible.
Today, 50 years later, I still root for Big Blue and still hate (but appreciate) the memory of those great Packer teams.
RIP ...

In his later "playing days", he held court to a big group of fun jesters better than anyone before or since. RIP.

Years ago, When I was a student in the Irish Guard, I was in the bathroom at Notre Dame stadium in my Irish Guard uniform/kilt.

It was halftime and Lindsay Nelson and Paul Hornung walked in while I was using one of our famous ND Stadium troughs to take a wizz. Hornung looked over at Nelson and said, that my plaid kilt was way better than any loud sport coat of yours. We all had a good laugh and whenever people tell me they met this movie star or that politician, I always tell them I once took a piss between Paul Hornung and Lindsay Nelson.

Requiescat in pace Golden Boy.

An amazing player.

Condolences to family and friends of Paul Hornung. The Packers and Lions Thanksgiving Day games were classic. Thank you, sir. R.I.P. love.

Sheesh...I haven’t watched the Detroit Lions in 30+ years.

Sports is so downstream from survival/family.

[Deplorable American1776]

I am a Packers fan, however, today’s Football players aren’t the players of yesteryear. Prayers to his family and to all Cheeseheads!

Around 1964, the Quarterback Club took us down to the Orange Bowl to see the Green Bay Packers play the St. Louis Cardinals play in the Pro Bowl. I got to see Paul Hornung and John David Crow with Bart Starr at quarterback. I don’t remember much, don’t know who won.

RIP.

I will never forget an interview the press had with Hornung. He was getting out of a taxi and they asked him how he was able to go out and party all night and that afternoon out and play a fantastic football game. His response was simple and historic. He claimly look at them and said “Practice, Practice, Practice and walked off.
