Idaho’s Jerry Kramer Was the Best

He was named the best at his position when the National Football League celebrated its 50^th anniversary.

Idaho’s Jerry Kramer is often called the best football player not in the Hall-of-Fame.  It mystifies fans and the men who lined up with him and against him.  Coach Vince Lombardi called Kramer the best.  Well, what did Vince know?  He turned a ragtag team into a 5 time champion over a span of 7 years.  Kramer’s unusual odyssey was the subject today of my newspaper column.  This morning I read a commentary posted last month at a football blog.  It suggests the voters on the selection committee need to add a few older players to the voting body.  Below is a video from ChucktheCzech recounting the hallowed era of Kramer and Lombardi.
