Robert Kraft reportedly wants to know why Jerry Jones is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and he isn't [View all]

At the age of 83, New England Patriots team owner Robert Kraft has six Super Bowls to his name and is waiting to hear his name called by the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It has not been a happy wait, according to a story published Wednesday from ESPN's Don Van Natta Jr.

Over the course of the last decade or so, Kraft's camp, led by Patriots PR head Stacey James, has been pushing to get Kraft enshrined in Canton, Ohio, with zero success. The 12-person subcommittee determining the final ballot hasn't even forwarded his name once to the full 50 selectors.

The wait has reportedly left Kraft frustrated, so much so that he had some choice words about the enshrinement of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones:

Kraft saw the selection of [Jerry Jones] as an insult, a verdict that Jones is more responsible for the NFL's astonishing success."He hasn't been to the NFC title game in two decades and he gets in?" Kraft told a confidant. "How does that work?"
