SI: 25 years ago today (10/2/83) - Monk begins 183-game consecutive reception streak

[SkinsMaster88]

Saw this in the SI.com photos section. I believe it was 183 games, rather than the 136 games listed at the site.

From SI.com description: (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedia/photo_gallery/0810/history.oct2/content.4.html)

Art Monk begins his streak of 136 consecutive game with at least one reception.

Note: According to the Hall of Fame (http://www.profootballhof.com/hof/member.jsp?player_id=248), "...set NFL records for...most consecutive games with at least one reception (164). His consecutive games with a reception streak extended to 183 games."

Seems like a typo on SI's part.

It was great to see Monk finally get inducted into the HOF this summer for the great accomplishments throughout his career.

G-Prime,

More like 14

Of course, assuming he caught one in every game this year, he'd have to play more than 10 more seasons.

Nice pic, SM. Good pull as well. Ahh, the good ole days. The Monkster...

-just poured me a big glass of nostalgia juice.

EDIT: Just got back from the land of Wiki. I thought that was Todd Bell he caught the pass on, but it was Mike Richardson in case anybody cares.

That is all -
