Bart Starr
Bart Starr was an ordinary quarterback until teaming with Vince
Lombardi on the powerhouse Green Bay Packers teams that ruled the 1960s
and ushered in the NFL as America’s most popular sport.
The quarterback’s graceful throws helped turn a run-heavy league into a passing spectacle, yet it’s a run for which he’s most famous: the sneak that won the famed “Ice Bowl” in 1967.
Starr died Sunday at age 85 in Birmingham, Alabama, the Packers said. He had been in failing health since suffering two strokes and a heart attack in 2014.
Starr is the third of Lombardi’s dozen Hall of Famers to die in the past eight months. Fullback Jim Taylor died in October and offensive tackle Forrest Gregg died last month.
The Packers selected Starr out of the University of Alabama with the 200th pick in the 1956 draft. He led Green Bay to six division titles, five NFL championships and wins in the first two Super Bowls.
“Bart Starr was one of the most genuine, sincere people I knew,” NFL Commissioner Roger Godell said in a statement. “He personified the values of our league as a football player, a family man, and a tireless philanthropist who cared deeply about helping at-risk kids. Above all, he was a wonderful human being who will be remembered for his kindness and compassion.”
Until Brett Favre came along, Starr was known as the best Packer ever. The team retired his No. 15 jersey in 1973, making him just the third player to receive that honor. Four years later, he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
After losing the 1960 NFL title game in his first playoff appearance, the Packers never lost another playoff game under Starr, going 9-0, including wins over the Kansas City Chiefs and Oakland Raiders in the first two Super Bowls.
Starr was a four-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time All-Pro. He won NFL titles in 1961, ’62, ’65, ‘67 and ’68. He was the 1966 NFL MVP and was named to the 1960s All-Decade team. He also was named MVP of the first two Super Bowls.
In the NFL championship on Dec. 31, 1967, Starr knifed into the end zone behind guard Jerry Kramer and center Ken Bowman with 16 seconds left to lift the Packers over the Dallas Cowboys 21-17 in what became known as the “Ice Bowl.”
The Packers had spent $80,000 for a heating coil system that was to have kept the field soft and warm, and forecasters said not to worry because the approaching cold front wouldn’t arrive until after the game.
“It was 20 degrees the day before,” the late Tom Landry once recalled. “It was great. Vince and I were together that night and we talked about how good the conditions were and what a great game it would be.”
They were half-right. When the grounds crew rolled up the tarpaulin, a layer of condensation had formed underneath and, with 40 mph wind, the field promptly froze like an ice rink. Packers running back Chuck Mercein would later compare the ground to “jagged concrete.”
With a temperature of minus-14 and a wind chill of minus-49, it was the coldest NFL game ever recorded. The wind chill had dipped another 20 degrees by the time the Packers got the ball at their 32 trailing 17-14 with five minutes left.
With one last chance for an aging dynasty to win a fifth NFL title in seven seasons, Starr took the field as linebacker Ray Nitschke hollered, “Don’t let me down!”
Starr wouldn’t, completing all five of his passes and directing one of the most memorable drives in NFL history.

Dick Couch
Dick Couch, a four-time state sportswriter of the year at the
Honolulu Star-Bulletin, died Thursday at his home in Honolulu from
complications due to pneumonia, his son, Richard, said. He was 83.
Couch, who lived most of the past 50 years in Kailua, worked at the Star-Bulletin from 1971 to his retirement in 2001.
He was best known for writing about University of Hawaii sports as the program ascended to Division I status. Couch covered the “Fabulous Five” basketball teams of the early ’70s, and the improving football and baseball teams.

June Jones agrees to join XFL
Former University of Hawaii football coach June Jones has been named
head coach and general manager of the XFL’s Houston franchise.
”It’s a great opportunity,“ Jones told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser today.
Jones was approached about a month ago. He said he decided about a week ago and finalized the agreement on a two-year contract today.
Jones said he will begin organizational plans in Houston this month. The fledgling XFL will begin its first season in February 2020.
By joining the XFL, Jones is resigning as offensive coordinator of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League. Jones was with Hamilton for two years. At the end of the 2018 season, Jones volunteered to move from head coach to offensive coordinator.
Jones said the XFL’s season is considerably shorter than the CFL’s schedule. “I can spend six months in Hawaii,” Jones said.
This will be Jones’ fifth head coaching job. Before serving as UH’s head coach for nine seasons, culminating with the 2007 team that reached the 2008 Sugar Bowl, Jones was the head coach for the Atlanta Falcons and San Diego Chargers. He also was Southern Methodist’s head coach.
The XFL has franchises in Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, St. Louis, Seattle, Tampa Bay and Washington DC. The league has secured national television deals with ESPN and Fox.

Dick Tomey
Football coach Dick Tomey, one of the University of Hawaii’s most beloved athletic figures, died Friday night at the age of 80, according to his family in Tucson, Ariz.
Tomey was diagnosed with lung cancer in December. He died 9:30 p.m. Friday surrounded by his family in Arizona.
“As a family, we rarely talk about how many games Dick Tomey won — we talk about how many hearts he won… including all of ours,” Tomey’s family said in a statement.
Tomey went 63-46-3 in 10 seasons at UH (1977-‘86) during which he resuscitated a languishing football program and led the Rainbow Warriors into the Western Athletic Conference while playing before large crowds at Aloha Stadium.
Under Tomey’s guidance, the ‘Bows drew their first sellout crowd at the 50,000-seat stadium in 1978 losing to eventual national champion USC, 21-5, after trailing, 7-3, into the fourth quarter. Gritty defense and solid special teams play were hallmarks of his tenure at UH.
A native of Indiana, Tomey came to UH from UCLA where he had been an assistant coach to take over an independent Rainbow team that had gone 3-8 and was in turmoil with large numbers of players departing.
He went 5-6 in his inaugural season and then reeled off five consecutive winning seasons including a 9-2 finish in 1981 during which UH climbed as high as No. 19 in the Associated Press poll.
Tomey left after the 1986 season as UH’s all-time winningest coach (later surpassed by June Jones) to take over Arizona, where he coached for 14 years. Tomey also became the Wildcats’ winningest coach (995-64-4).
He later spent five seasons at San Jose State going 25-35 and served as an assistant coach with the San Francisco 49ers (2003) and University of Texas (2004). His final coaching job was a one-year stint as UH’s special teams coach in 2011.
The Tomey family said a memorial service is envisioned for July in Hawaii, though no date as yet been set.
In lieu of flowers, the family said the Dick Tomey Legacy Fund has been established through the nonprofit organization Positive Coaching Alliance. According to the organization, “100% of these funds will go directly to providing scholarships and programming for underserved youth in the markets where Dick spent the majority of his years in the community as the head football coach.”
