Art Monk Denied Admission to the HoF

I'm sick to my stomach,worst part about monk not getting it is a FOOKIN!COWBOY got in,I've been painting all day and when i just clicked on espn and saw the pic of irvin it made me want to throw up,break my computer,and shoot a few sportswriters in the balls till they bleed to death

If character and leadership are not supposed to be factors why the hell is Carson in? Carson did not provide any more or less HOF statistics/intangibles to his team than Art Monk. The only reaonable excuse I'm kind of begrudgingly willing to settle for would be for Monk to have to wait the length of time Carson did. Which was...how long?

...So who's eligible next year? Are we to hope for a Green/Monk dual induction ceremony? I'd almost enjoy waiting to see that from a totally selfish perspective.

Carson got in because he made disparaging comments about the HOF secret selection process and basically said he wouldn't show up for the event even if he was selected. Low and behold, he's chosen the next year, and its the greatest day of his life. The HOF doesn't want football players nor their fans to devalue its selections because then there no reason to care who gets in. By the way, I didn't see any reporters names from the Washington Post on the HOF committee.

I dont understand this, what did Michael Irvin do that Monk didnt, except for run his mouth and make himself look like an asshole time and time again. As an Italian white american, I really dont see how other white americans could vote for this guy, he basically said on national TV that we have no athleticism and the only way Tony Romo could be playing so good was because he had African American ancestors. Art Monk never brought racism or stupidity with him on or off the field, he was a character guy and one who deserves to be enshrined. The people who voted for Michael Irvin should be absolutely embarrassed with themselves. I dont care about the Hall of Fame anymore, If they fail to understand how good Art Monk was then they dont deserve to have him, he was and will always be one of the greatest Redskins of all time.

Yep, a freakin crackhead who claims to be clean and as long as he stayed on television and buddy buddy with the ESPN he was going to get in. How in the hell are so many ESPN guys aloud to vote and not one reporter from the Washington Post is?

I feel bad for Monk but like I've said in the past he was a good receiver but not HoF material. I think us Redskins fans are just going to have to accept the fact that Monk is not going into the HoF.

I could also get in trouble with how I really want to respond to this post.

Just gonna state the obvious--this is total and unmitigated BULLSHIT.

I have no repsect for the hall, the NFL, the sportswriters who vote (or at least the ones who didn't vote for Monk). It just goes to show that all their lipservice to "character" and "sportsmanship" and "quality" is just so much meaningless smoke. They are trying hard to send the message that nice guys finish last. But Art Monk has already proved beyond any doubt that he is number one as a player, a teammate, and as a man. If this is what the hall is about, they do not deserve someone with the character and virtue of Art Monk. **** them.

I wonder is there a list of how each voter casted their ballot so we know which assholes didnt vote for him? if so plz link

I'm an African-American, I saw Irvin's little interview on Real Sports and his "quest for redemption." The only reason Irvin got in is because he's one of them. Them meaning the media. They protect each other. Pat Summerrall suffered from alcoholism. Summerall went to ESPN and spoke to the management and told them to give Irvin a chance. ESPN did. Irvin has relapsed several times as an employee of ESPN. Irvin is an embarrassment to his family,community and people. When one does good such as Monk and is not recoginized for his accomplishments by the media at large, then we who understand his contribution should create our own award to give to him

Did he read the accomplishments that our fellow fan gave in the other thread? What does being 1# mean ?

I don't remember any memorable Steve Largent catches. He's in. Anyone?
