Today's induction of the 2013 Pro Football Hall of Fame includes these players: Larry Allen, Cris Carter, Curley Culp, Jonathan Ogden, Bill Parcells, Dave Robinson, and Warren Sapp. The words are gushing for all of these players, including former Green Bay Packers linebacker Robinson. They have all had remarkable careers; everyone believes these are players who, in the minds of most, deserve to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
But there are others, many others, who are not enshrined – and when you look at most lists of “those players who deserve to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame,” it’s former Packers guard Jerry Kramer who tops the list.
Why he does not yet have a bust in Canton is one of those mysteries – like the Bermuda Triangle, like the Loc Ness Monster, like bigfoot – that may never be answered.
That is unless the electors who vote players into the hall get off their dead asses and start thinking clearly.
You’ve got Warren Sapp going in to Hall today as a first ballot selection over the likes of Ken Anderson? Kenny Stabler? Alex Karras? Jerry Kramer?
As in the words of Kramer’s longtime coach, the great Vince Lombardi: “What the Hell is going on out here?”
We ask the same question and draw our attention to those who feel the same way – most notably Kramer’s daughter, Alicia, who has been spearheading the drive to get her father elected to the Hall.
