[quote=Sheriff Gonna Getcha;274707]I know a lot of people are pissed about today's vote and perhaps Irish might have wanted to wait a day or two to post something saying Monk doesn't deserve to be in, but Irish IS entitled to his opinion and DOES deserve respect. So, please do not enage in personal attacks.

That being said, Irish, what the hell are you thinking! (j/k). But seriously, how can you possibly say that Monk doesn't deserve to be in? Because he didn't make a memorable catch? If that is actually a criterion of yours, then Brandon Lloyd should start getting ready to have his bust made. What does a memorable catch have to do with anything? What, if anything else, are your reasons why you don't think he should be in?[/quote]

I aggree, isnt the majority of Monk's stats better than Irvin's? so stats dont matter the amount of drugs and hookers one screws counts? then i see why monk didnt make it , its just because he stayed quiet and you didnt hear about any off the field issues involving him.. as why i see the forbidden T.O. make it. just cuz hes in the media alot. like i said before I lost all respect for the Ballot casters that didnt vote him in. Who held all the records that Rice had to break? . guess that doesnt count either.. as i say F**K them

Re: Art Monk Denied Admission to the HoF
 

it's all political bullshit!if they put in 8 ball irvin and andre reed before monk,that just shows me that all the assholes who vote in the hof balloting,are voting because they just can't kiss a guy like irvin,or howie long's enough.i was gonna try to go this summer,but i'll doubt i'll ever go now!!!!!

Re: Art Monk Denied Admission to the HoF
 

This is a crock of shit, The NFL hall of Fame is getting more commercial then the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Art Monk should have been in a long time ago much like Kiss should have been in the RR HOF a long time ago. All just a bunch of BS.

Re: Art Monk Denied Admission to the HoF
 

Michael Irvin clearly belongs in the Hall of Fame. The crime that is being perpetrated by keeping Monk out has nothing to do with Irvin's admission. What has happened, in my opinion, is that the anti-Monk spin originally created by King and the coalition he built to keep Monk out has now taken root and is becoming more difficult to dislodge with each passing year.

There was a time when I thought Monk was a first-ballot no-brainer. Now, for the first time I am seriously worried that he may not make it in. This was an [I]extremely[/I] weak class- if not this year, when?

Re: Art Monk Denied Admission to the HoF
 

I mean, Charlie Pride made it in. Wasn't he a singer?

Re: Art Monk Denied Admission to the HoF
 

If you want to do something about this, let's stop thinking small and annoying like spamming the hacks who snubbed Art, or writing letters to Canton (who clearly don't care).

See my thread:

[url]http://www.thewarpath.net/redskins-locker-room/16959-lets-do-something-art.html[/url]

And let's get something going. I've already contacted Tom K. of Monk4TheHall.com (the guy who put the great YouTube video campaign together) and he's in. Who else is with me?

Re: Art Monk Denied Admission to the HoF
 

this is unbelieveable...have the folks who do the voting not seen the video clips of some of his catches...this blows my mind. art monk deserves to be in the hall...not to sound like a homer...but as far as i am concerned is a hall of famer in my book.

Re: Art Monk Denied Admission to the HoF
 

the more i read everyone elses posts the madder i get. micheal irvin before art monk you have got to be kidding me. getting elected to the hall is more of a popularity contest than anything else these days...what a joke. I am gonna mass email the video i saw here to all the voters whose email address i can find.

Re: Art Monk Denied Admission to the HoF
 

The hall is officially a joke. I would love to see thousands of Redskins fans show up at the ceremony wearing Monk jerseys. I also think Irvin should be booed heavily during his speech.

Jesus! That what be great....or instead of booing, someone could bust out a boombox with the "White Lines" song right before he starts speaking....**** the HOF voters....they wouldnt know greatness if it kicked their teeth in!

Re: Art Monk Denied Admission to the HoF
 

If you really want to honor Art, let's stop acting the way Irvin did in his career, and start acting the way Art did.

I feel pwned.

Re: Art Monk Denied Admission to the HoF
 

Art will get in someday, but it will have to be when there aren't any other reputable receivers to compete with. He should be in.

That said, I think Irish has a point in that Monk wasn't the game-breaking playmaker that Michael Irvin was. That's not saying he was a better receiver than Monk, it's just that he was more visible. It's kind of like how offensive linemen are compared with running backs or wideouts. They're just as vital to the success of a team, but they are the unsung heroes. That was Art Monk. I knew from the very beginning that if it were Monk vs. Irvin for the hall, Irvin would win hands down. Not saying it's right -- it's just the way it is.

I actually believe Gary Clark was more of a dominant threat -- why isn't he ever mentioned for the hall?
