... I did ask most of them listed for each interview. Here's the final interview with Packer legend BartStarr:] This event marks the first time the fans have a say in Hall of Fame voting. Is this a good thing in your opinion? I think it's great that the fans get a chance to vote and show up on occasions like this. Obviously they're not the selection committee, but I don't know if there's...

The replay was rerun and rerun so often, you started to think the quarterback trying to quarterback-sneak his way past the Dallas Cowboys was BartStarr, not Donovan McNabb.
You can occasionally see the precise moments when Packer coaches lose their jobs. For BartStarr, it was when he stood with folded arms and sat on his timeouts while the Bears ran down the clock and kicked a short field goal to knock the team out of the '83 playoffs. Ray Rhodes did the same thing against the Panthers. Yesterday, Ted Thompson lost his job (there really is no need to wait...
A living legend in his own right, Manning has undoubtedly cemented his place in NFL history alongside other quarterbacks such as Brett Favre, Dan Marino, John Elway, Johnny Unitas, BartStarr, amongst others. He is arguably the best quarterback of our time, and now he’s set a milestone that puts him on a different playing field than the rest. Not literally of course.
... you'd think Favre had 18 Super Bowl rings, he did get the Packers the only title they've had since BartStarr was under center. He was the face of the franchise for a generation. That's a hard thing to dismiss out of hand even if the guy plays for the Vikings for a year or two. Now, people who show up to an Eagles-Giants game in Philadelphia wearing a Favre jersey? That's another...
As part of the JCPenney Van Heusen Pro Football Hall of Fame Fan's Choice campaign , I had the opportunity to interview Hall of Fame K Jan Stenerud . He will be at Lambeau on Sunday to participate in a Q&A session, alongside fellow HoF members Paul Krause and BartStarr. He couldn't have been nicer on the phone and it was a pleasure to speak to him. He spent most of his career in...
... (surviving?) at Lambeau Field for the famed Ice Bowl in 1967, when the Packers beat Dallas on BartStarr’s quarterback sneak with temperatures falling to 13 below zero. Zeutzius will not be at Lambeau on Sunday for Brett Favre’s return as a Minnesota Viking; he dropped his tickets several years ago when they became too expensive. But even watching on television, he expects...
... my favorite movies of all time!) I may have a chance to head to Green Bay on Sunday to interview BartStarr, Paul Krause, and Jan Stenerud thanks to the ongoing JCPenney/Van Heusen Hall of Fame promotion tour. (Still pending, but it sounds promising! If you haven't read MilCardFan's interview with Krause yet , do it. Great read.) If you guessed that I'm more excited than a puppy with...

Maybe he'll get his 46 yards before he gets dinged again. says: The sequel is never as...
Pompei: The list of hall of fame players who became successful head coaches is a short one. There’s Mike Ditka. And Raymond Berry. And… and… and…. Well, others who tried with less success were Forrest Gregg, BartStarr and Norm Van Brocklin. Another who is trying now is Mike Singletary.

... the story of two bench players who were miserable professional football players, Paul Hornung and BartStarr , and how Lombardi helped set them on their way to the Hall of Fame. I've never thought of him this way, but the book also tells about how Vince Lombardi was a talented offensive coordinator, who was hired away from the NY Giants . He was an offensive mastermind! And think...
He played in all 12 regular-season games that year, not doing a whole bunch to distinguish himself. But in the title game against Green Bay on Dec. 26, Jackson had a hand in the final play of the season.BartStarr flung a pass to Jim Taylor from the Eagles' 22. Jackson caught up to Taylor at the 9-yard-line, Chuck Bendarik brought him down and the Packers' final drive was stopped short....
