Monk makes HOF semi-finalist list!

[onlydarksets]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051122/..._semifinalists

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]

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

[D'BOYZ]

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

Man I didn't notice if you read the complete post I wrote Irvin name correctly on the bottom I didn't notice I had spelled it wrong.


And I'm sorry Monk was an excellent reciever but to say he was better than IRVIN come on IRVIN change the way the wr in the league played they had to change the prototipal CB after him to a more physicall and bigger one because IRVIN just tossed them around.

He was a force on the field and a big part of a dinasty, sorry but I give any day better chances for him to get in that 2 Monk.

Monk was a big strong, physical receiver as well. Even though he didn't appear to be as fast as other receivers we've had on the team (Gary Clark, Santana Moss, etc...) he always found ways to get open downfield. Even when he wasn't exactly open, he still was able to haul in the pass. I am not taking anything away from Michael Irving, I thought he was a great receiver as well, but there is nothing between the two receivers that would suggest that Art Monk lacked anything from getting into the Hall of Fame before Michael Irving. In all honesty, Art Monk should have already been in the hall of fame.

Yes he should he was a great receiver but he hasn't got in yet and this year with all the big names I just don't see it happen and right now Irvin is the better of the 2, Monk hasn't made a top 6 candidate ever Irvin did it i nhis first year and he should had been inducted last year as harris and wright when they made the top 6 in my opinion it's dumb that the committe put players off after they reach the top six if six can get in then put six in.

For that matter I didn't think Young deserved to be there not as a first ballot for that matter.

Michael Irvin was the master at the push-off. It's not so much that he was more physical than any WR before him. He just got away with pushing off a lot. And even he would admit that

I can't believe you have the guts to come here and post that information yourself! Big props to you my friend. I liked it better before you came here and showed us that not all Cowboys fans are the scum we like to think they are. (Just kidding of course.)
