    Surely, Maxie, somewhere in the world, a family named Starr saw the birth of a baby boy, and thought Bartholomew would be a great first name.

    LOL. What are the odds a guy like Bart winds up in the NFL with a last name like Starr?

    By the way, when I made the comment about Luck being reminiscent of Starr, it's by no means a slight of ARod! Rodgers is clearly in a class of his own. I read the other day he thinks he can play into his 40's. That would be good for him and great for us. I think ARod could play at a high level for a long time. Starr probably should have retired a year or two sooner. We used to disrespectfully (mea culpa) call Starr the Warren Spahn of the NFL.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    Should we start calling him Bryan so we sound smarter? Bryan Starr would be a good name for a super hero.

    There was a guy on the Chiefs last night named "Phillip Supernaw." I noticed the name on the back of his uniform and thought it was "Superman."
    I did a double take. So close.
