    Jerry Kramer

    I can't believe what I just heard from Al Michaels and John Madden. Jerry Kramer is NOT in the NFL Hall of Fame?!?!? WTF?

    Kramer was an integral member of those great Packer teams. He paved the way for Jim Taylor and The Golden Boy and no doubt protected Bart Starr from meanies like Sam Huff, Alex Karras and Bill George. It was Kramer's block on Jethro Pugh in the "Ice Bowl" that became legend.

    I had to look it up and sure enough, Kramer's not in.

    Hey, I hated those NFL teams and the Packers, but this is a HUGE injustice. What the **** are these people in Canton thinking?

    It's very hard to argue with that list, although I think Chris Carter will be in soon.

    I was stunned when I found out Jim Marshall wasn't in. I figured it was a given.

    Jerry Kramer's SIN was becoming a best selling author when the selection committee is wanna be authors (newspaper columnists).

    Actually, he was elected...
    ...but the day of his induction he showed up in Cooperstown.

    Wanna know what's wrong with NASCAR? They've gone from Junior Johnson to Jimmie Johnson.

    Wanna know what's wrong with IndyCar? It's gone from dirt ovals to street races.

    I think I can understand why Alex Karras isn't in given his past sins, but then again Paul Hornung is in so that doesn't make sense.

    I'd like to add these guys as long overdue and deserving of the Hall of Fame:

    Gino Cappelletti
    Johnny Robinson
    Earl Faison
    Tom Sestak
    George Saimes
    Ben Davidson
    Charlie Hennigan
    Lionel Taylor
    Walt Sweeney
    Paul Lowe

    Now that I think about it, those uniforms really were hideous. Give me the vertical stripes of Denver's socks any day.

    The Bucs' quality of play during that era was even worse.

    What Bucs coach, when asked about his team's execution, said he thought it would be a good idea?
