Johnny “Blood” McNally:
He played on four Packer championship teams in seven seasons.
He took the name “Blood” from the movie marquee of a popular Rudolf Valentino picture of the era, “Blood and Sand.”
In 1929, “Blood” signed on with the Green Bay Packers. In addition to scoring 224 points as a Packer, he also became known for his antics:
• Jumped across a narrow ledge six stories from the ground to gain access to a Los Angeles hotel room.
• Fled a towel fight with
Lavvie Dilweg by climbing on top of a fast-moving train and crawling across car tops until he reached the engine.
