Art Monk Denied Admission to the HoF

What's the big deal? We all knew the Hall had no credibility anyways. Who the hell cares if some dumbass sports writers think he isn't one of the greats? A person's character and worth is not determined by the perception of others.

If I were Monk, I'd ask to have my name removed from all future ballots. I'd boycott. Also, if I were a player in the Hall, I'd ask to have my bust removed until Monk was inducted. Remember the movie "Rudy", were all the players asked the coach to let Rudy play for them? Something like that.

I doubt this will happen but wouldn't it be great if next year Russ Grimm, Art Monk and Darrell Green all go in? I would like that. It might ease some of the pain we had to endure for Monk. What yall think?

As far fetched as that fantasy is...I'd actually travel up to Canton for that induction regardless of cost.

DG - as much as I would want that to happen I think Monk will not go in due to the vote being decided by a bunch of idiots. I saw that Dr. Z basically said Monks chances will now diminsh because todays WR's numbers are getting bigger and bigger and that would in turn make Monks numbers not as good - these guys are crazy if you ask me.

Also I saw that Cris Carter will be in the ballot next year and will get the nod over Monk as well. To me to have one Redskin player (Riggo) in the HOF is about as dumb minded as it gets - how do these guys get the jobs they are in is beyond me.

I'm assuming you don't actually mean there's only one Redskin in the Hall of Fame, as there are like 15... maybe you meant only one player from that Championship era?

I've always said I'd make the trek if/when Art was inducted. In fact, I think ever fan whose ever cheered him should -- and by that calculation, it should be at least 55k (counting RFK numbers).

As for costs, it's in the middle of Ohio for god's sake. how much could it cost.

If your a fan of any team in the NFL East during the 80's you know that Art Monk belongs in the HOF!It's not the club records the're looking at to me the're looking at the pro-bowls and such.They should have made Irvin wait another 10 years.

My bad - that is exactly what I meant - the 80's-early 90's.

Also, not one Hog in the HOF - how can that be? I guess the voters excuse on that one is the Hogs did not have a "signature block".

What a crock, though I can't say I'm surprised.

Crackhead Irvin and Thurman friggin Thomas. Unbelievable.

The way these guys vote, Samuels is gonna get in before Monk.

And Charlie Sanders? Granted, he was way before my time, but I've already heard from some people that as good as Sanders was, there's no way he should be in before Monk.
