Come up with a nice T-Shirt design to put on cafepress... Links to list of HOF voters... What else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diss Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I'd be glad to contribute my video to the site once it's ready. I also think you should have a section where fan comments about Monk are posted, especially the ones that show the lasting effect he had on the game and on people's lives. Like the comments going right now in the "Tell Monk what you think of him" thread. This is one area where Monk has a REAL BIG advantage over ANY of his competitors, and I think that needs to be pushed. There is NO OTHER nominee that engenders the kind of lifelong, passionate support that Monk engenders, and that's because of the person he was and the nobility and honor he brought to the game. THAT should be considered in his candidacy, and I don't think it ever has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DjTj Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I haven't designed a web page in a long while now, but I've been doing my share of blogging. What I can do is contribute a lot of content, whether it's old articles, statistics, or especially the views of individual Hall of Fame voters, which are the centerpiece of my site: http://artmonk.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander_N_Chief Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I can HTML; all you really need to know is how to work an iframe, iframe placement, and get an image mapper for your navagation links. If this happens to be your base image for the layout depending how much of a mass project you want. I may be able to place some time and effort into working your iframes and mapping your navigation to show on the same page. Click a link and the info appears in the same spot. If you're looking to make each link seperate pages...I also webdesign though with my computer setting on fire due to a short circuit I work off a mac and now am dampering in the imaging programs available. Though my sister has PS and I could probably put a little time in there as well. I work full time and coach as well as maintain a personal life but I'd be willing to try and throw a little time in to help. Send me a pm and I'll foward you some of the layouts I've designed for backup to my work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the more help from other designers and programmers the better. Throw your name into this thread be help. The Man The Player What I believe is missing, and something I'm interested in is a more statistical based analysis of why this is such a big problem. Sites like Football Outsiders have taken on the "sabermetric" style of analysing football stats in a different way to the traditional with often remarkable results. I am quite sure if you start to look at the DVOA ratings and Win Shares for a guy that converted so many key 3rd downs, who caught >100 passes in an era when that was pretty much unheard of, and when we analyse the stats in terms of normalised relatives to league averages (z-scores and the like), we can show Monk was actually a lot more dominating than we might think. Anyone who has read the book "Dominance" by Eddie Epstein can see the kind of thing that I mean, where he showed that the 1991 Redskins team was actually the 2nd best team of all time in terms of dominance in the league. We all know that era is a huge factor in downplaying Monks numbers, its time we started crunching some numbers in a more advanced way to be able to compare his achievements in an era-independent context. I am very certain people will be extremely surprised at just how high Monk's value would scale up when compared to the league/era he played in, relative to the same guys today who are putting up bigger numbers but in a totally different context.
