We’re calling it “Kramer for HOF Day.” Ten of the top Packers fan sites have banded together in an effort to rally Packers fans and Jerry Kramer supporters everywhere. The goal, of course, is to combine our many voices into one loud enough that is impossible to ignore. The sites involved are:
Acme Packing Company, CheeseheadTV.com, Green Bay Packer Nation, Lombardi Ave., PackersTalk, Packer Chatters, Packernet, Packer Ranter, Titletown Soundoff, The Ultimate Packer Fan Connection
All day long, these sites will be publishing content in support of Jerry Kramer’s nomination as a HOF candidate. Visit them all, support their efforts, share their posts.
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP:

Jerry Kramer was the reason the Packer sweep worked to perfection.You know we were going to run the football and STILL couldn’t stop us.
I agree James–Lombardi lined up that sweep led by Kramer and Thurston, behind either Bob Skoronski or Forrest Gregg and basically said “Here we come, stop us IF you can”, and for seven years NO NFL team consistently could stop them and two AFL champs failed to do it. Only ONE team ever slowed them in a playoff game, that being 1960 and they were 7 yards away and ZERO seconds on clock from winning that game too. I think it would be easy to look through the Hall’s previous selections and pick numerous players that Jerry Kramer could equal or better in accomplishments. There are NO limits on how many players the Hall will eventually select, WHY should there be a limit on how many players from ONE team or ONE coach can be selected? The Hall selects players for THEIR individual contributions to both TEAM and League as a player, Jerry Kramer certainly stands HEAD and SHOULDERS above some others selected and he did it with class and dignity of a TEAM player.
