RIP Mr. Starr.

I am too young to remember him as a player-except through the magic of NFL films-but I remember when he was the Packers' head coach.

Even though I was never a Packers' fan, through the myriad, John Facenda narrated highlights, it seems as though Starr helped shape my football fandom. By all accounts I have heard over the years, he's always been a class act and fundamentally decent man.

The NFL and the world lost an all time great.
 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

Yeah, this was before my time, but I too enjoyed his highlights thanks to NFL Films. You knew things were starting to turn earlier this year when Calais won his award, and the wife made the call and said he was struggling with health issues.

RIP

Sad news for sure.  I never saw him play live or real-time on TV, but I have watched many of his games and read many books about him.  Truly one of the all time greatest.
