Art Monk Denied Admission to the HoF

[davy]

I've long held the belief that sports writers know **** all about **** all.

Case proven.

I was going to post earlier, but I would have gotten in trouble for writing what I wanted to. This caps off a bad bad year for the Redskins nation. Monk will get in some day. It will be impossible to keep him out forever.

I found out about this travesty after leaving the movie theater and turning on ESPN. As the announcer gave the names I knew Monk's name would be last. And when I heard Micheal Irvin's name, I lost my religion for a minute.

The very thing that these hypocrites overlooked about Art Monk is the very thing that Micheal Irvin possessed. A bunch of personal flaws and headlines that sold a lot of their shitty newspapers that aren't worth wrapping fish in. The great Art Monk played the game, declined interviews and went home. Peter King mentioned several years ago that Art Monk didn't do interviews. But Monk sure did the hell out of King's New York Giants.

Yep, a freakin crackhead who claims to be clean and as long as he stayed on television and buddy buddy with the ESPN he was going to get in. How in the hell are so many ESPN guys aloud to vote and not one reporter from the Washington Post is?

I feel bad for Monk but like I've said in the past he was a good receiver but not HoF material. I think us Redskins fans are just going to have to accept the fact that Monk is not going into the HoF.

I could also get in trouble with how I really want to respond to this post.

Did he read the accomplishments that our fellow fan gave in the other thread? What does being 1# mean ?

Thanks for the intelligent insight.

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?

Tremendous crock of steaming horseshit. DALLAS SUCKS!
I hate Michael Irvin. He sucks too.

Hold on now, guys. It actually seems to me that irish thinks he should have gotten in at one time but now that more and more receivers are becoming eligible with greater numbers, his chances are greatly diminishing.

I don't think (correct me if I'm wrong, irish) that he's saying Art is not HOF worthy, it's just that he's going to keep dropping down the list of NFL receiving stats, which is a primary focus of the election process.

By the way, I totally believe and always will believe that Art Monk should be in so don't take this post as me saying the opposite. I just didn't want this day to turn into one where fellow Redskins fans attack one another.

United we stand!

You are correct. At the time he retired I thought he was a shoe-in for the HoF. Now in 2007 he has been gone for quite some time so he slips from memory and his stats keep slipping. When one looks at him in comparision to those that came after his stats are decent but just dont stand out as an obvious HoF choice. If he didnt get in within 2 or 3 years of his becomming eligible then I just see no way he's getting in now.
