Bart Starr - the great Quarterback of the GrenBay Packers during the old glory days of Vince Lombardi - has passed away. He was 85.

Starr had suffered a heart attack and two strokes and was in poor health.

Starr was the last of a bygone era, where football was a ground game and was enforced by the shoulder and the the arm - not the mouth. In those days it was the John Wayne sport; now it's the Eddie Murphy.

Starr will be missed; another great, red blooded American leaves the scene. How long before there are ftoo few such Americans to hold the tapestry together?
