There are 3 former Packers generally talked about for the Hall...

Jerry Kramer, Sterling Sharpe and LeRoy Butler

What's your theory as to why these guys aren't in the Hall?

A matter of us overvaluing our own? Media bias? What is it? Do these 3 really belong?

I think Butler is most likely to get in. Sharpe is a first class prick and Kramer has an arrogance to him that is off putting.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Kramer and Butler should be in plain and simple.
I can't even fathom why they are not!

Sharpe only played 7 years. He is 2 or 3 years short.

As for Butler I think he means more to Packer fans than to the rest of the world.

Dave Robinson was added just a few years ago, so it can't be that there are too many Lombardi Packers in the HOF.
I know Kramer was a jerk, and he even admitted so. I met him at Fan Fest in 2009, 26 days after my open heart surgery, and he was decent to me. We talked for several minutes, and then he autographed a photo that I had taken of him a few years earlier for me.
Leroy Butler on the other hand darn ear ran me down with his SUV after super bowl 31. I asked him if I could just SEE his SB ring, and he ignored me, even though I was only 2 feet away from him. He acted like I was invisible. And there was no one else there, so it's not like he had to be afraid of being mobbed.
So I lost respect for him that day.

That said, I'm sure that there are plenty of "jerks" in the HOF already, so why not add a few more?
