Bob Barry’s Unearthed Interviews Podcast: Bart Starr
Are you ready for some football? It’s that time of year. The Pack opens the season Sunday against the Chicago Bears. One of my all-time favorite Green Bay Packer players was Bart Starr. Among his many football accomplishments, Bart led his team to victory in the first two Super Bowl games. He was named MVP in those games. His record in post season was 9-1. His career completion record was the best and he held the Packers’ franchise record for games played: 196. Bart was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the Packers Hall of Fame. He and his wife Cherry were married for more than 60 years. They helped start the Lombardi Cancer Foundation and co-founded the Rawhide Boys Ranch. In this podcast we’ll hear from Bart in his playing days, when I interviewed him at the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation Golf Tournament and then on the phone when he was starting his coaching career with the green and gold.
