Dave Robinson Named Finalist for 2013 Hall of Fame

As always, class.

Dave is well deserving... but something else now becomes evident: the argument that Jerry's been denied because "there are too many Lombardi Packers already in the HOF" no longer holds water. And of course, it never did.

I always thought Jerry's exclusion was due to how blunt and out spoken he is? He's pissed off some people with his mouth and they're keeping him from getting in. That's what I had always heard. His play on the field is what should count in my opinion, but that's why I don't get to vote for HOF inductions.

Correct, GD, plus many of the writers in the 1970-80's who were HoF voters then were pissed off that Kramer, a dumb football player, penned the very successful Instant Replay (with help from Dick Schaap) and accordingly made a lot more money from writing than they ever did.

BFT

It STILL amazes me that the HOF itself voted Jerry the "Outstanding Guard of the First 50 Years" of the NFL in 1969... and now, 43 years later, with several other guards from that era already enshrined, he's not.

Sorry he upset other writers with his success and his outspokenness, but hypocrisy is hypocrisy. He was voted the best of the best a LONG time ago, and he's not in.

Just goes to show the overall integrity of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. If I had a choice, I'd MUCH rather visit the HOF that resides in northern Wisconsin.

Having said all that... WAY TO GO, Robby!!!!
