Kurt Warner is being enshrined in Canton this weekend with the rest of the 2017 Pro Football Hall of Fame class. But bad weather in Chicago nearly kept Warner’s family from making it to Ohio for his induction party.

Jeanna Kelley has been covering the Falcons for The Falcoholic since 2011 and the NFL for SB Nation since 2015.
Warner wanted his kids in Canton with him to enjoy the festivities, which is understandable.
The airline tried to help, but Cardinals president Michael Bidwill beat them to the punch.
Bidwill sent a private jet to O’Hare Airport to pick up Warner’s stranded family — all 13 of them — and bring them to Canton for Warner’s induction party, according to Darren Urban from the team’s website.
And the family officially made it to Canton safely.
So Warner’s family was able to come and celebrate his Hall of Fame induction with him after all. It’s a happy ending to a stressful situation.
