Kramer is a great man and a great guy to just sit and chat with - the stories, the ebullience of the man - a true standard-bearer for a bygone era. Congrats Jerry!
    Didn't Kramer play his first few years in the NFL with a huge wood splinter in his side that he didn't know about? I think he got injured when he was knocked up against a fence rail on his ranch where he grew up...

    ...On the other hand, maybe I'm confusing Kramer with Lucas McCain from the old "Rifleman" TV series.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    He played with three wood splinters in his groin. Two of them were four inches long and 1/2 inch in diameter. One was two inches long.

    I guess this is how you got a woodie before viagra.

    Speaking of the 2018 class, Moss obviously deserves to be in. Had Wolf drafted Moss, Rodgers might never don the Green and Gold, but Favre would've retired with 3 or 4 or more Super Bowl rings in the Green and Gold.

    Urlacher was the most awesome MLB I've ever seen play pigskin. Maybe that's cos he played for the fuckin' Bears and I don't get to see much Ravens games. But Urlacher could do it all - play the run, blitz, cover.

    All congratulations to JK on attaining the PFHOF. It was a long, twisty trail to the top of that mountain, but you finally got up there. To quote a certain Italian from Brooklyn, "Way to go Jerry"!

    Enjoy it big boy, you earned it.

    I couldn't see how it took so long. I'm glad for him.

    I have a question about that game. After that scoring play, how many seconds were left for Dallas to try a hail mary?

    SI.com and Andy Benoit were with Kramer for the announcement. Bonus mentions of Frank Gifford's fighting back with words and someone on Twitter calling Kramer a little bitch. All in good fun!

    13 seconds. Dallas downed the kickoff in the endzone and tried 2 passes before time expired.
