Absolutey, Dave Butz and Clark should get consideration. Especially if Harry Carson and Rayfield Wright make it in.
Such a disappointment. The NFL now stands for National Fantasy League.
Art Monk is clearly, clearly one of the most prolific wide receievers of our day. He has the stats, the rings, and the longevity of career to prove it.
Not only that, but he commanded the unwavering respect of his peers and coaches during his career.
This is such a huge mockery on the HOF itself. Not because I'm a Redskin fan, but because I'm a football fan as well. I couldn't imagine Walter Payton not being inducted. I couldn't imagine Roger Staubach or Joe Montana not being inducted. And while I'm drawing comparisons using apples and oranges, Art's impact on our championships was vital. To me, now and for some time, the HOF has dimishished it's value. I went there once when I was a kid....to me it was almost akin to a pilgrimage of sorts. You went to see history in a capsule. To feel the aura of greatest in one building. To gather amongst people from all over the country to share that common bond. It's something you can't read about or hear about, you just have to go. It's not the same as attending a Super Bowl game or anything like that, but it is special, very special.
If Art Monk get's in next year or the year after, we'll be happy nonetheless. But in some sort of way, I feel his place in the Hall has been gather dust for a while now and it's time they give him his due.
