    Thanks, Brian!

    I can't run no more
    With that lawless crowd
    While the killers in high places
    Say their prayers out loud
    But they've summoned, they've summoned up
    A thundercloud
    They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

      Good Golly...what nonsense - streets, schools, parks.....WTF?

      A full life size bronze statue in a prominent place, lets say next to Vince at Lambeau...

      It would be the highest honor Bart could ever imagine.

        How about just rename the state Bertsconsin?

          Some of us were taught to have respect for our elders. They were the ones that made set the mark for others to meet or exceed. The Packers of the Sixties all deserve our respect and earned their HOF Bust. Bart Starr was the General on the field. For the most part he called the plays on the field. Following Lombardi's game plans, Starr lead te Packers to 5 NFL Championships and the first two Super Bowl Wins.

          I never saw Don Hudson or Curly Lambeau play, but I still give them the respect they earned as they lead their generations of Packers. There was a time that disrespecting of elders would find one tied to the whipping post for two dozen lashes with a horse whip. So when I read post that disrespect those that earned it, I can only shake my head at the lack of class they are putting on display.

          Yes, my post was incorrect, but I was also big enough to step up and say so. Jumping on to be funny is "Harry Highschool" and only shows who/what you are. There are even 35 yr olds that still need to grow up.

            If we wanted to grow up, we wouldn't come here!

              He already has a statue. 2 of them, basically.

                And no, he is not asking the young lady to hold his fire hydrant.

                  There is also Bart Starr Dr.

                    “Fire hydrant”

                    Egads that’s ugly. That ‘little girl’ looks like the landlord from “kingpin”

                    Almost as bad as:

                      Friends, I greatly respect all of the fine statues and other honors that GB has bestowed upon Bart Starr. My reasoning was aimed at something that would not only last, but be recognised on a national level. The Don Hutson Center is recognised nationally recognised, as is Lambeau Field and Ray Nitschke Field. The Bart Starr Atrium at Lambeau Field sounded real fine.

                        Well, you made it about 3 months between your usual being an ass posts. If you hate it so much please leave.

                        To be honest the last few months you have actually posted some relevant content and I have enjoyed reading some of it.
                        But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

                          I think there's a whole lot of stuff already honoring Starr. He's regarded as a legendary figure in Packers lore, which is no small feat. I don't believe that there needs to be anything else named after him. I like the decals idea.

                            I think the only thing we can do that will satisfy the die hard Bart Starr fans will be to launch a 40 foot diamond statue on a trajectory towards andromeda. Aliens from that galaxy will discover it in millions of years and be able to bow (or whatever obeisance their appendages allow) before it and offer worship and praise. Anything less is a an affront to Starr's memory and legacy.

                              One idea I've heard that I like is to paint a star with the number 15 in the middle of it at the very spot on the goal line where Starr scored on the sneak to win the Ice Bowl.

                                What about the Resch Center one? Is that 3 then?
                                After lunch the players lounged about the hotel patio watching the surf fling white plumes high against the darkening sky. Clouds were piling up in the west… Vince Lombardi frowned.
