Scott I loved the Packers even though we were in the Cowboys TV market. I think as kids we all latched on to teams that were winning. That probably was more the case for kids like me that grew up a long way from any pro teams.
I followed the Yankees, Packers and Celtics in the 1960s. But living in the South they were all secondary to college football and the Razorbacks of course.
My Dad was and is a huge Cowboy fan since we got them on TV every week, our backup was the St. Louis football Cardinals. We and by that I mean the whole state of Arkansas were Charger fans in the AFL because of Lance Alworth.
In the summer it was all St. Lous Cardinals baseball. I would read the papers every day looking for Yankee news but every radio was tuned to Harry Carey and Jack Buck.
By the way Bart Starr provides a really neat service for fans today. He has been a longtime supporter of the Rawhide Boys Ranch in Wisconsin. He will sign anything you send him for a fee made out to Starr Enterprises. All money goes to the ranch.
He does require that every item be personalized. He will send you a photo for $20 and for $35 will sign something you send him. Not bad, I got a mini helmet back not long ago.
Thanks for reviving the memories!
