It's point #7 in the Ten Things I Think I Think section.... <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/peter_king/11/27/week.12/4.html" target="_blank">http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/peter_king/11/27/week.12/4.html</a> While he makes some good points on why Jerry may not get in I have to disagree on a few of his points.. Gale Gillingham, while a great player, never seriously threatened Kramer's status till very late in Jerry's career and Fuzzy played the left guard position as opposed to Kramer's right side. Also, the key word here is FAME, as in FAMOUS. Jerry Kramer is one of the most famous names to ever play Guard in the NFL. Five World Championships, the lead pulling guard on the FAMOUS Packers' Sweep. AND he made probably the most famous block on the winning TD plunge against the Cowboys in the most famous championship game ever played, the ICE Bowl. The Hall of Fame is filled with players that don't have nearly the name recognition or the success of Kramer. The argument that there are too many Packers from that era in the HOF already is lame and inexcuseable. He deserves a spot. Let's hope he finally gets his due before it's too late.</blockquote>
