One word that is repeated over and over with Bart Starr – Class. He was admired for his athletic achievement on the field and as an uncompromising gentleman off the field. Brett Favre’s quote this past week is a good synopsis:

To get a personal note from Bart each and every time, I’m not gonna lie, it made me feel pretty special.”
