SkinsNoles21 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Today on Sportscenter three different guys were asked to choose one player not in the hall that deserves it. Tom Jackson chose Art Monk as his player and said that If other Hall of Famers come to him and ask him why Art Monk isn't in the Hall of Fame, then that is a good enough reason for him to put Monk in. The former players know he deserves it, put him in!!!! John Clayton said the reason Monk is not in the Hall of Fame is because Irvin and Monk take votes from each other. Monk for the HOF!!!:point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorresA Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Monk's been eligible years before Irvin my thoughts exactly, hasn't Monk been snubbed 6 or 7 years, and this was Irvin 1st year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuDDSL1DE Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I think this was Irvin's second year not making it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Prime Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Well it's gone from an outrage on here to being viewed in the public eye this can only be good for Art's chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyburd Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Did they drug TJ? Nice to see he can actually say something nice about a Redskin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostRider Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Man TJ annoyed the hell out of me last year, but I'll forgive anyone that helps get Monk in the HOF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Well, there's beginning to be groundswell of media types speaking up for Art. Let's hope it has an impact and the voters listen to reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjTj Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Monk's been eligible years before IrvinMonk was eligible for four years before Irvin ... in the first three years, he lost out to Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, and James Lofton, who had all been waiting longer. In 2004, Monk lost out to Bob Hayes, who actually made the final 6 but wasn't inducted. The same thing happenned in 2005 with Irvin, who made the final 6 but wasn't inducted. Last year, neither Monk nor Irvin made it into the final 6, but Irvin got a few more votes.http://artmonk.wordpress.com/the-case-for-art-monk/hall-of-fame-voting/ In any case, John Clayton is a big Monk supporter, so nobody should have any beef with him.

SkinsFTW Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Monk will make it in the next couple years, if only because those who snub him will have the actual facts thrown in their faces daily until he gets in. Monk is the only #1 in Career Receptions not in the HOF. He was the first to catch 100 passes in a season. He was clutch in so many games and I don't remember ever being pissed because he dropped a ball, that says something. Everybody drops balls, but Monk didn't.

skinswin'emALL Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Art is not in because of 1 man's campain against him Peter King I even heard him on the radio ounce a few years back saying that he would even fly personally to other voter's cities just to lobby against them voting for Monk insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if you averaged 300 carries a year for 15 years you'd probably have 18000 yards too behind that line. (because you know that actually being that durable over all those years and playing injured means nothing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tastes Like Chicken Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 It would be nice if Monk and Green made it in at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatmeworry Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Monk's been eligible years before Irvin really. That's one of the lamest reasons I've heard this side of Queenie and Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Rod Woodson on NFL network the other night was asked who he thought most deserved to be in, but wasnt. He answered Art Monk. Funny, I just forgot whether Woodson has ever said anything ive disagreed with :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
