What we need is a mod or someone with access to post a list of eMail addr. for the dolts with a HOF vote. They are the ones who need to see. It's already unanimous here.

You don't need "access". You just need to search around. Or just ask DjTj. :)

Didn't someone just post like a 15 minute epic decleration for Monk to the HOF vid. All we need to do is just email that to all the voter, and he should be voted in in a heartbeat.

That was sent to them last year.

Im still wondering how Irvin got in before him.:whoknows: :whoknows:

Well, he's definitely not quiet! :D

And, because he was more of a "showboat" kinda player ... from some of the arguments against voting Monk in, it appears the HOF voters like that. :insane:

Right now, if rumors and such are true, this is about as close as Art has come to getting voted in as he ever has. Let's hope that these are true and nothing changes that.

I agree with your assessment Park City. Looking at the upcoming class, there is only one supposed "Lock" Cris Carter. Other than that, there is no other definite sure ins (although I feel that Darrell Green is a definite, but then again I thought Art Monk was a lock and look at how that turned out). I feel that there is no alternative but to vote for Art Monk, but then again the voter turn around and vote in Charlie Sanders from the Lions. No offense to the guy, but who the heck is Charlie Sanders? I just hope that the committee doesn't pull some shenanigans like they did last year and years past and vote for some guy who played about 30-40 years ago.

55) Only one other player, linebacker Monte Coleman, has been on the field for the Redskins more than Monk.

56) Art Monk is almost as proud of his relative anonymity as he is the record-setting numbers he compiled over a 16-year NFL career.

57) When Monk spoke, it was usually with tough catches in the clutch moments of big games.

58) Nothing came naturally for Monk, who spent countless hours on the practice field and many more behind the projector.

59) I never saw Monk drop a pass. Period.

60) Monk's 40-yard catch with eight minutes left in the first quarter of SBXXII was Doug Williams' first completion of what would be a record setting game.

62) Participates in a "Kid's Fishing Day" for underprivileged kids

64) "He's more than just his receptions. Few players have been able to achieve what he's achieved." –Richie Petitbon

67) Early in his career, Art arranged and scheduled charity basketball games for the Redskins.

68) "I can't see how a receiver could be more valuable to a team." –Gibbs

69) Fame is often hard earned. Character is often elusive to define. A man of great character himself, Art Monk encompasses what it means to be a candidate for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

70) Monk wasn't a "SportsCenter" type of receiver -- more like a "Masterpiece Theatre" type.

71) You wouldn't see Monk pull out a Sharpie to sign a ball after scoring a touchdown.

72) "He embodied the old school, and for that alone he should be enshrined so that when a father takes his son through the Hall of Fame, he can say, "Son, here is a man who once caught 106 passes in a season when no one was catching 100 passes. Here was a man who caught a pass in 183 straight games. And not once did he ever pull a cell phone out to make a call after any of those catches." –Thomas Loverro, Washington Times

73) Football is a game of first downs and Monk was the receiver who would move the chains.

74) He has since been passed in this pass-crazy era, but in the context of when he played, Art Monk was a Hall of Fame receiver.

75) He did this while never playing with a Hall of Fame-caliber quarterback.

76) Critics will say Monk benefited from playing in Joe Gibbs' system. What might be the case is that the Gibbs system benefited from having Monk.

77) "I believe he's a Hall of Famer. I was a pro scout when he was playing, so it was my job to know who those guys were. I would put Art in that category, but apparently there are a lot of Hall of Fame voters who don't feel Art Monk was in that category. It's hard for me to believe they ever saw him play." –Bill Polian, President Indianapolis Colts

78) He was the anti-Terrell Owens.

79) He was the standard-bearer, the mold-maker and the receiver every team of his era wished they'd had.

80) He's already a Hall Of Famer off the field.

81) It's time.

I agree with all 81 reasons. Art needs to be inducted, this year. He would add a lot of class to the Hall. I also need to add one reason of my own. He learned the pro game from Charlie Taylor, the second greatest WR the Skins have ever had. He not only learned from Charlie, the pupil outdid the teacher, and the teacher is in the HOF.
