This has to be Monks year.

*crossing my fingers*

MOnk, Green & Grimm all are worthy. Would be cool if they got in together. Jacoby had a great career but I think he was more of an overachiever than a great LT.

It would suck if Green, Jacoby, and Grimm bumped Monk out.

[Redskin Rich]

I would be AMAZED if Monk is not a finalist... he just get's screwed on the final cut

[hooskins]

Let's hope folks.

This is Monks year. I just have this feeling he's finally going to get in. Green should make it as well.

Monk, Green and Grimm make the cut.

As should be, now if we can start by getting at least 2 of the 3 inducted that would be a GREAT start! IMO Monk & Grimm are LONG OVERDUE!

DG is a foot in but his first year up, I'd much rather see two guys that are long overdue get inducted first. But would not be surprised if DG got in first shoot. Just think Grimm & Monk have been turned down one time to many.

Green is a lock. Grimm has a better chance than Monk. Honestly do not think Monk will get in.

HoF Finalists: Monk, Green, Grimm

I think that Green should be a lock. Then again, I also thought Art Monk was a lock as well. I think that the Football writers are a fickle group. Once they have their mind made up, it seems awfully hard to change their minds. Although, Peter King said he changed his mind about Art Monk and said that he voted for him the last time. So I guess there is hope afterall.

Judging by list of candidates, I think that monk has an excellent shot this year. The only player that I feel that is a so-called lock this year is Cris Carter. I think that Monk shoudl be able to get in this year along with Darrell Green. If they got in Russ Grimm that would be the ultimate. I don't know if it will happen, but that would be awesome all the same.

Most of us have always felt like Monk should have been first ballot Hall of Famer, hopefully this year will not be another let down. If Green could get in with Monk that would be sweet!!
