Second-coldest game
Honorary Packers captain Bart Starr entered the playing field through the south end zone. How appropriate.
It was in that end zone Starr scored the winning touchdown in the Ice Bowl -- the coldest game in team history -- in 1967. Today's game will be the second-coldest. The temperature at kickoff is 1 degree below zero, with 12 mph winds out of the west creating a wind chill of 23 below.
The wind blew the ball off the tee twice before the opening kickoff, which the Packers will receive. This one is going to be interesting.

God bless Bart Starr.
When I was a kid, there was no better idol to have.
