One Shot Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Congratulations to Art Monk and Darrell Green....you both deserve it. Well done..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeGotMoss Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Does anyone else think the numbers are neat? Darrell Green was drafted with the 28th overall pick. He wore number 28 on the field. He was elected into the Hall of Fame in 2oo8. He will be enshrined on August 2nd (8-2), reveresed but still cool. Congrats to Monk as well. Long over due. But I am glad that the two of them got to go in together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realskinsgirl Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 That numbers thing is pretty interesting. Yay Monk and Green! Hopefully Grimm will get in next time. :gaintsuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morneblade Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I'd have never thought that the HoF Commitee would allow 2 Redskins to go in at once. The bias they have shown against Art has been amazing, so I'd was just hoping that one would get in. I thought that if they decided "guys, if we dont vote Art in, we'll probably be killed" they would leave Darrell hanging for a year. Sometimes I really love being wrong. :point2sky Two of the classiest men to have ever played the game. Canton is a much better place than it was yesterday due to them.:applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobedoza Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Woulda posted this when I heard this yesterday, but I wasn't near a computer. I had a good feeling D. Green woulda gotten in on the first ballot. As far as Monk... IT'S ABOUT FREAKIN' TIME!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Hog Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Congratulations to two men who were instrumental in helping my childhood memories of the Redskins be positive ones. I will always appreciate the class and dignity with which Art and Darrell performed their jobs. Hey mods, what are the chances that we can switch the entire board's avatars to Darrell Greens and Art Monks to celebrate their entrance in the pro football Hall of Fame until the end of August? Anybody with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sisko Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Long overdue for Monk and probably due in part to the litany of players and media types saying it was a travesty that he hadn't been inducted. Congrats to him, Green and Thomas :helmet: HTTR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WigSkin Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Well done to both! and long over due in Monks case!. A proud day for them and for us as Skins fans. I shall be having a whisky or two in their honour! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 He retired as a Skin so he will be inducted as a Skin. The same for BMitch whenever his day comes. This isn't baseball. You don't "go in" as anything. You go in as a player. In baseball, you have to choose the cap you are wearing. In Canton, it's just a bust of your head. No one knows anything about sports except me.

Charm City Sports Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 OK, I say we get together and plan a huge Extreme Skins trip to the hall! The other thing you will see for miles is the B & G!!!!! I am so happy for Art! And the fact that Green got in on his first year was icing on the cake!!!! HAIL!!!!!

AceSkinsFan Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Congratulations to two class acts and great Redskins who deserve this ultimate honor. I loved watching both of these guys play and I can't wait to see their inductions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike619 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I wonder who will be doing the induction speeches for them. I am just hoping that Riggo and Gibbs will be there. I wouldnt be shocked if there were alot of the greats there to celebrate this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'KanSkinFan Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 The Coach that stood for Character, Integrity, Playin' with Heart, Dedication to the game, Committment to God, Family and Team - well, this Coach was talking about many players of that era - and another 2 were honored this weekend for their committment to the Redskin Nation :point2sky :logo: A big congrats to the Washington Redskins Monk and Green :logo: Well deserved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deejaydana Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 If any player deserved first ballot entrance into the HOF it was #28. Can't wait to see his speech. Any idea who will introduce him? His son maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
