The magic of two last names combining into something beautiful isn’t new.

Starr helped the Packers win five championships during the Vince Lombardi era, and that included three straight titles from 1965-67. Starr also is best-remembered for the game-winning quarterback sneak in the “Ice Bowl” against Dallas.
