Just talking on the phone with my son who informed me that Bart Starr had passed today.
RIP to Bart Starr. He was a Franchise Quarterback before there was such a term or designation.

I think it's still worth noting.

I'm only 42, but I learned about football from Steve Sabol. I learned about Bart Starr, Slingin Sammy Baugh, Dick Night train Lane, Elroy Crazylegs Hirsch - all players who played long before I existed.

RIP to a legend

He won championships and is a HOFer but I'm not here for the dick sucking that will come this week.

He's not the greatest QB, he didn't change the game, he's not the toughest player ever...

The overarching purpose of this post is simply to observe his passing. He was a decent QB in his heyday and a mediocre coach for a short time. He is a part of the lore that comes with the NFL though. The feel-good bullshit that keeps the fans buzzing.

This is shocking news... I figured he was dead years ago. Oh, well. RIP again.

That's a little harsh...

As much as i hate how these old white folks go a little far with the god status

That man was a true champion tough as hell

He had 5 championships in 10 years bottom of the draft and i think maybe he still got some passer records on the books

He aint the best but he aint no scrub.

What has he done for the black community?

The Packers weren't the only organization to tweet about Starr. The Bears put their rivalry with Green Bay aside for the day and sent out a tweet to remember Starr.
