Art Monk Denied Admission to the HoF

I'm new to the forum but this travesty with the HoF voters, in particular that lying weasal Peter King, I had to post something. I tried to E-mail some of the voters, but at least Peter King and Wilbon only have E-mail forms on their sites (Wash Post / SI) from where you can E-mail. They don't have published E-mail address that I could find on Google (I'm sure a more in-depth search may turn up something but I am furious right now). I know I will never visit the HoF until the voting process is changed to include living HoF members rather than idiots from the media only.

Unfortunately, the HoF selection committee is not allowed to take "character issues" into consideration in their voting.

Schefter was saying on the HOF broadcast it happens all the time though. Unfortunately being a consummate pro is meaningless to douche bag sportswriters.

That's just such an insanely stupid reason to deny him and in addition it's a myth that only seems to be growing with these ignorant fools in the media.

That Monk for the hall video proves that he's had more than his share of big catches.

Unfortunately these media idiots parrot each other like nobody's business. The guy on NFL.com today with Jamie Dukes (Sportswriter from Denver) mentioned the exact same thing as a rebuttal to Jamie who thought Monk should be in. Jamie shot back that he couldn't remember any siginifcant articles from any of the voters (Classic!)

Unbelievable.

Without Monk paving the way for big possession receivers there may have never been a Michael Irving.

This just goes to show how stupid all this is...like I said before..Peter King suggested Monk be put in just to end the whining...they're all idiots and have probably never played a down in their lives. I'm done with it. I hope Art doesn't worry about it either. It just goes to show how worthless this all is in reality. The important thing is that Redskins never forget him.

Thanks for the superbowls Art!

Adding insult to injury is the elevation to the Hall of Micheal Irvin - a man whose ongoing substance abuse problem is a ticking time bomb sure to embarass the National Football League and his employer - ESPN. They succeeded in largely covering up his unbelievable comments to Dan Patrick, but the nature of his problem is such that he is sure to strike again.

This vote today signifies the media engaging in the ultimate act of "enabling". They have by their vote endorsed the reckless behaviour of Irvin and renounced the responsible behaviour of Monk. They are saying more about themselves than they are about the candidates. They are saying loudly, 'We are all moral shitbags!" I take them at their word.

I think what we ought to do now is focus on honoring Monk in another way. We should ask the Redskins to officially retire his number.

There are several players who deserve this. Jurgenson, Riggins, and Darrell Green have also distinguished themselves in a manner befitting this honor. Indeed, their numbers are all "unofficially" retired -they haven't been issued to new players. The difference is, those players have either been inducted, or will be.

Art Monk has been slighted for years now. Football's greatest individual honor has been denied him by prejudicial voters. What the Redskins can do is offer their highest honor to him. And they can do it now.

that's a great idea

I'm sick of these stupid idiots from the media holding the privelege of being the ones who get to vote players in. It's time for the NFL to get rid of all these guys that have never played the game before, and make a up a new selection committee, made up of older generation players who've retired at least 10 seasons ago, because they know a hell of a lot more about football than those douchebags in the media. The NFL could ask each team to nominate one player, or perhaps two, players from the older generation to be on the selection committee. That would leave either 32 or 64 older generation players to vote on who should be in.

Excuse me Mods and guys.....un****ing believable!
