'George Whitney Calhoun' (1890–1963) was a gruff, profane sports and telegraph editor for the Press-Gazette of Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. A native of Green Bay, Calhoun was a co-founder of the Green Bay Packers with Curly Lambeau, and was the team's first publicity director.
Calhoun wrote the Dope Sheet, which served as the Packers' official press release and game program from 1921 to 1924. Honoring Calhoun, the Packers have revived the Dope Sheet as a downloadable game preview sheet on Packers.com.
Calhoun served as PR director until Lambeau fired him in 1949. Reportedly, Calhoun had to read of his own firing on the wire service, as his replacement was announced. This one of the events that finally drove the Packers board to force Curly Lambeau out.
Calhoun lived to see the second great era in Packers history. He died in 1963 at age 73.
