Or hated having Monk abuse his Giants during his playing career.

yeah, I was about to say...the Giants owned us back then...that's probably why King thinks he wasn't good, because that's all he remembers

Heres a link to an interview with John Riggins - he said he had talked with Peter King recently and King said it was not looking good that Art Monk was going to get in the HOF this year. Art Monk not getting in the HOF is getting more and more pathetic as each year passes....

Canton Bound!!!! Who's with me!!!!!

Darrell Green was the last great player from Gibbs 1.0 left when I became a serious fan. During the late years of his career he was still a phenom, still the fastest man in the NFL, and he was by far my favorite player. I was sad to see him retire, but it is awesome that he got into the HOF right away. This is the first player I have watched closely and loved that has gone to the HOF, it is a bright spot in my all too mediocre fandome. Thank You and Hail to Darrell Green!!!

He was the first real shut down corner in the league. Basically redefining the position. I'm glad to see the recognition of that with a first ballot. With four of the six being defensive players, I wonder if the HOF voters are starting recognize some long over looked areas of the HOF

How big of a day in Redskins history is this?
