Vince Lombardi and JFK

[Bob]

Here's the Jerry Kramer story...http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1521 ... kramerHere Jerry talks about that somber situation...Playing the same weekend when President Kennedy was assassinated on Friday, November 22, 1963:I remember coming out of the locker room when I heard the news that the President was shot. I had a sinking feeling down in my gut. I admired him and thought he was a wonderful President. He was cool, classy, bright and just had a lot of things going for him. I felt really bad at that moment, like most Americans did, whether you were for him or not. It was kind of surreal. Coach Lombardi didn't use any motivation or didn't have any excitement about the upcoming game. It was like, "We got to do this." Coach Lombardi was not happy and he didn't hide the fact that he wasn't happy. He felt like we shouldn't be playing that game. We had enough pride to do our job and do what we had to do on the field (the Packers beat the 49ers 28-10 in Milwaukee). Everyone played with a heavy heart.

It is a travesty that Jerry Kramer is still not voted into the Hall of Fame.

Another good one, Abraken Linkin! Here was the story I wrote last summer when I heard Jerry wasn't nominated by the Seniors Committee at the Pro Football Hall of Fame...http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1308 ... ll-of-fame
