I have always admired Bart Starr. A very favorably biography. If you like Starr and the Packers, then it's a decent chronicling of the man and his life. ( )

Most sports fans, particularly of the NFL variety, are going to be fairly biased about bios or books relating to their team. Certainly having grown up with Green Bay Packers and still remembering those black and white images on TV of Vince Lombardi stalking the sideline in 1963 I am no different. This book does a great job telling that story centered around this iconic figure Bart Starr. It was interesting in doing a search to enter this book into my library here a title came up, "Johnny Unitas, America's Quarterback." So the debate will never end. The thing this book brings out about Starr is despite the repeated second tier ranking many give him over the years, when you look at his performance year in and year out he really was always at or near the top, backed up by 5 Championships. But what cannot always be captured by titles and statistics is the character of the man and the leadership qualities. Something we don't see as much in today's sports arena, yet this man had in spades.
