Well deserved and long overdue. Congrats Mr. Jerry Kramer!!
 
This was long overdue. They waited nearly all of Jerry's lifetime to do the right thing. Yet, they let thugs who made a mockery into the HOF at the same time.

It's time they figure out just how important the players of the past are to the product they have now. Without them, there wouldn't be a game.
 
a friend of mine entered the pro football hall of fame a few years ago. it's my understanding he entered through the rear loading dock.
 
If you haven't listened to Jerry's speech yet, check it out. IMO he put the other inductees to shame, just in terms of delivery, humor, humility and perspective. Nary an ounce of grievance at the long wait, no list of personal accomplishments - hell, he had more kind words for Don Chandler than himself. They don't make em like that anymore.

A humbling statement about what life is really all about. We don't travel through it alone, and what we do accomplish is more of what others helped us accomplish, than it is as to what we've done ourselves. Although this reward for Jerry is long overdue, the way he accepted the wait, and did not dwell on it in his speech, goes a long way towards telling us what kind of person he is.
