My father and I used to argue over who was the better QB: Starr or Favre...

He was right, and this article on Bart breaks my heart while also showing the strength and spirit of this man.

Burns won't be the only one. He had Starr practice holding up his hand and waving to the Lambeau fans, but muscle memory should take care of that. When Starr's executive assistant, Leigh Ann Nelson, recently held up a copy of David Maraniss' biography of Lombardi, "When Pride Still Mattered," and asked him to name the man on the cover who he'd failed to identify for more than a year, Starr responded, "That's Coach Lombardi. Why do you ask?" Starr is scheduled Wednesday morning to board a jet provided by Century Insurance (he served on its board for 34 years) and to travel with Cherry, Bart Jr., Burns, Nelson, longtime family friend Brady Thames and others to the Wisconsin town he helped Lombardi put on the global map.

"It's a beautiful end to a beautiful story," Bart Jr. said.

It almost makes me afraid to watch tomorrow's halftime because I could barely make it through the article.
