[quote=Buster;371891]If Herman Moore makes it in before Art Monk, the HOF needs burnt to the ground.

(after all of the good stuff is removed, leave the Dallas crap in)[/quote]

Honestly, if either Moore or Carter get in before Monk it will be prime evidence that the HoF voters are hypocrites.

Monk has better numbers in every category than Moore, and Carter has gaudier TD's and marginally better receiving yards, but won a whopping 4 playoff games in his career and never even WENT to a Super Bowl.

The worst thing they can say about Monk is that he played on a team with a lot of other talented players, so he wasn't the star of the offense. And considering the fact that this is true and he still finished with numbers as impressive as he did, says all you need to know about the man.

Plus, regardless of the situation, Carter should NOT have been talking as a journalist about Monk's chances in the HoF when he knew he himself was going to be eligible the next year. If Carter makes it and Art does not, it will prove once and for all that the voters care more about the loudmouths in the loud suits who are on TV, than the guys who busted their asses every week without becoming a self-indulging spectacle.

What did Carter say about Monk's chances ?

Here is the list. I didn't see it posted in this thread.

I thought it was on TV but it was just on the Intarwebs, I stand corrected there:

[url=http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=cc-askcris101007&prov=yhoo&type=lgns]Ask Cris: Strategic move - NFL - Yahoo! Sports[/url]

Basically he said that Monk was not the most feared receiver on his team and didn't make a lot of Pro Bowls.

Which, surprise, surprise, are both things that were true of Carter and his Vikings. Except they flamed out in the playoffs perennially. I think it's fairly disingenuous for Carter to answer this question just a few weeks before the HoF nominations come out, knowing he'd be a first ballot candidate. That question shouldn't have been picked for his little "mailbag" at all.

I gotta believe Green is a lock and Monk may just get to ride his coat-tails in as well.

Re: Hall Of Fame Nomination List For 08'
 

If there's ever a year for sentiment to prevail over common sense and get Art in, this would be the year. Like I said, if it doesn't happen this year in my mind that's just outright intentional.

[QUOTE=SFREDSKIN;371676]I say this years class is exclusive, only Monk, Green, Lomas Brown and [B]Nickerson[/B]. You have to have class to get in and those other 2 also were classy players too.[/QUOTE]
Hardy Nickerson, you mean The Dragon, El Drag-on...(if someone can find this commercial on the 'net, please throw it up)

Herman Moore is not a HOF receiver, so I wouldn't worry about him getting in.

Re: Hall Of Fame Nomination List For 08'
 

I don't know... what's Green's signature interception? /sarcasm

Re: Hall Of Fame Nomination List For 08'
 

Darrell Green WILL be a first ballot Hall of Famer.

EVIDENCE:
- 7 time Pro-Bowl Selection
- 54 Career Interceptions
- Played 20 years in the NFL
- Faster than jeebus. Clocked at 4.125 in the 40 yard dash. Ran a 10.08 100m dash. (I know that last one has nothing to do with the HOF, but daaaaamn...).

He has the numbers, the reputation, and the character to be a first ballot hall of famer

Re: Hall Of Fame Nomination List For 08'
 

Only 7 Pro-Bowls ? We may be asking a bit too much of the HOF voters for him to get in.

Re: Hall Of Fame Nomination List For 08'
 

anyone know how many pro-bowls that Chris Hanburger went to? i think it was more then 7. which raises the question, why not him?

Re: Hall Of Fame Nomination List For 08'
 

[quote=Smooter;371723]IMO Green should be a lock.[/quote]


I agree,Monk better get in before Carter and Moore!:soapbox:

Re: Hall Of Fame Nomination List For 08'
 

Hanburger had 9 Pro Bowls

I wonder if Mr. Cooke will ever be nominated.

Re: Hall Of Fame Nomination List For 08'
 

If they both make it I will be there as well. Hail!!

Re: Hall Of Fame Nomination List For 08'
 

Was Chris on the list?
Who makes up this stuff?
Christian Hanburger Jr went into the army out of Hampton High and then to North Carolina to college
No redskin has gone to the Pro Bowl 9 times and played from 1965 to 1978 for his Redskins
Guess what ?
He has NEVER been nominated and this should tell you something about so- called Washington Post reporters
