Interview with Jerry Kramer

Recently I had the honor of interviewing Jerry Kramer, the former Offensive Guard for the Green Bay Packers in the 1960’s. I want to put a strong emphasis on the word honor, because it was an incredible privilege to talk to a man with the accomplishments of Jerry Kramer.

Jerry Kramer 1I am not just referring to his vast accomplishments on the gridiron; among which includes five NFL Championships, two Super Bowl Rings, being named to the NFL 50th Anniversary and 1960’s All Decade team and delivering the most famous block in history in the famed “Ice Bowl” against the Dallas Cowboys. It was not just a genuine legend of the game that I spoke too, and the man that we name as the most worthy player who is not yet in the Football Hall of Fame; as that only a snapshot of who Jetty Kramer is.

Gregg Zaun

In the mid 80’s it was the Blue Jays and not the Maple Leafs that dominated the Toronto sports scene. The Leafs were a pitiful franchise that decade and the fans North of the Border were more intrigued with an improving baseball team that was assembling the pieces for multiple playoff appearances.

Gregg Zaun 1They had an outfield that the Canadian media dubbed the “Best Outfield in Baseball, consisting of 1987 MVP George Bell, Jesse Barfield and Lloyd Moseby. They had one of the top aces of the American League in Dave Stieb and a slick hitting Shortstop in Tony Fernandez. It was a collection of All Stars that gave a city a sporting pride that the national sport of hockey wasn’t able to provide. Despite this collection of talent, for many Jays fan it was a platooning Catcher who was their favorite.
As the co-owner of Notinhalloffame.com, I can legitimately say that Halls of Fame have crossed my mind on a daily basis for the past two years. It is not just the running debate as to who should be in each one, as our site’s name would suggest, but its complete story. This goes much further than just a list of who is inducted and who is left out; rather it is a composite look at the institution’s history, facility, interactive nature and commitment to the future.

NASCAR 1Assumptions would be that Halls of Fame would naturally seek to strive in all of those categories, but alas this is not always the case, and certainly not the standard of all of the institutions we discuss on a regular basis. For example, the Hockey Hall of Fame, while striving to be as interactive with visitors as possible, struggles with the limitations of their physical Hall.   The Baseball Hall of Fame, while considered to be the most respected Hall of all the sports, has an impressive view of its past, yet lacks focus on its future. The Football Hall of Fame has no interactive component and the WWE Hall of Fame does not even have a physical structure to call its own.
In the fall of 1983 there were no monthly Pay Per Views in Professional Wrestling. The matches that were shown on regular television were predominantly top stars against enhancement talent. This was by design, as promoters believed that if fans wanted to see top wrestlers compete against each other it would have to be at the arena. This was actually a logical business model for 1983, as it was the live ticket gate that dictated the bulk of the revenue at the time.
