I have no repsect for the hall, the NFL, the sportswriters who vote (or at least the ones who didn't vote for Monk). It just goes to show that all their lipservice to "character" and "sportsmanship" and "quality" is just so much meaningless smoke. They are trying hard to send the message that nice guys finish last. But Art Monk has already proved beyond any doubt that he is number one as a player, a teammate, and as a man. If this is what the hall is about, they do not deserve someone with the character and virtue of Art Monk. **** them.

Unfortunately, the HoF selection committee is not allowed to take "character issues" into consideration in their voting.
