Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman and perennial All-Pro defensive end Reggie White head a list of 25 semifinalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Other modern-era semifinalists are linebackers Harry Carson, Randy Gradishar and Derrick Thomas; center Dermontti Dawson; running back Thurman Thomas; wide receivers Michael Irvin, Andre Reed and Art Monk; defensive ends Fred Dean, Richard Dent, L.C. Greenwood and Claude Humphrey; quarterbacks Warren Moon and Ken Stabler; guards Russ Grimm and Bob Kuechenberg; offensive tackle Gary Zimmerman; cornerbacks Lester Hayes and Roger Wehrli; punter Ray Guy; club owners Art Modell and Ralph Wilson, Jr., and administrator George Young.

Russ Grimm made the cut, too!

I really hope he gets in, but again this is a VERY tough class. He should be in, but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

MTK · 11-22-2005, 02:49 PM

My prediction... he won't get in.

D'BOYZ · 11-22-2005, 02:52 PM

I don't think he will get in at all this is the toughest I see yo ucan only get 6 in the hall and this hasn't happen your top candidates are:

Troy Aikman (sure)
R.White (sure)
J.Madden (sure)
W.Moon (sure)

That leaves 2 spaces if they ever give them.

D. Thomas (80%)
T.Thomas (70%)
M. Irving (70%)
A.Reed(50%)
Monk(50%)
and maybe

Art modell
Hayes

or the other senior
R .Wright but I see maybe five being D. thomas or Irvin

How many time has he made the semi-finals

Scott · 11-22-2005, 03:07 PM

I think there is some obscure rule with the semi-finalist list that if you are on once you are always on until not eligible, so Monk being there is no surprise...if he makes the first and second cut then we have something to talk about...

That doesn't sound right - I thought players never lost their eligibility.

"M. Irving (70%)"

Shame on a Dallas fan not even spelling Irvins name correctly!

Until Peter King dies from eating too many burritos, Monk won't get in.

ahhhhhhhh, ok i can wait a year

Awesome thing is, I told my wife that if Monk ever gets in, we're going. SO every year I watch closely to see if he makes the list. Has anyone even been to the Hall induction ceremony? I wonder how hard it is to get tiks and how much they cost. I also wonder if every friggin hotel for 100 miles in every direction is booked months in advance. I hope this is the year that Monk finally gets in!
