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.
