OxonHillSkinsFan89 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 It's been 3 Years....I would probably rank this third favorite Redskin Moment. Only behind The Quarter and the Seat Cushion Game. With the Hall of Fame Class of 2011 to be announced Saturday. I thought I would post this. Enjoy.

GhostofSparta Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I was there, and that crowd was electric. That event was my present to my mom for her birthday (which is on August 2nd, so it was that day) who grew up a Redskins fan. Art Monk was her favorite player. That 4 minute standing O and chants of "It's about time." are priceless memories for both of us. I met my wife in college, and she wasn't really into football (but thank God for that, because her dad was a Cowboys fan), and she sort of started to like it by the end of college. After that day, she looked at me and said "I think I finally get it. I understand how you can be so passionate about it even when they're doing bad." I honestly wish all of you could have been there, it was a fantastic day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark The Homer Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Yeah... that was cool. But like you said, the Seat Cushion game will never be topped. I don't think it's possible. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titaw Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I still get choked up about that, my HAPPIEST moment as a Skins fan. I remember starting the "It's About Time" chant. My boy lost his voice and look at me and said NOW. I started chanting "It's About Time", praise gibbs joined in and the rest is history. I remember talking with the mayor of Canton and he said HOF weekend had NEVER been like that with one team's fans. We made history that weekend and I am glad that we gave Art his due respects.

Boston Skins Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 No one more deserving of a 4 minute ovation than #81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWFLSkins Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 The fact that the understated Monk was joined by Green that special day cements it as one of the HOF greatest moments. Even other teams fans agreed on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IONTOP Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Something I've always wanted to see is the commentary 5 minutes before and the 5 minutes after. I never got to watch that because I was too busy cheering with Ricky Sanders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tibbidoe Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I was there that day. Short of being at a Redskins' Super Bowl winning game sometime in the future, nothing will top that moment for me as a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetThePointsSoar Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Thirteen. Thirteen times he tries to say "thank you" to get the crowd to stop because he's just that humble of a dude. Such class. They just don't make 'em like they used to...still, and always will be, my all time favorite Redskin... thanks for posting OHSF...

ECU-ALUM Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I was there and it was one of the highlights of my life! Loved every second of it! I still can't believe I was there! One thing I will never forget about it...it was about a minute into the ovation and I looked over at the ESPN set and I saw Tom Jackson yell, "Now that's what I'm talkin' about!" And he threw his headset down, stood up and started cheering with the rest of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew_Fl Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 this is a bump b/c i'm sick of seeing all these snyder threads on top of the page. this should be the first thing people see today when they come to the board, not snyder's business practices.

SonOfWashington Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Can anyone tell me what the chant towards the end is? If I recall correctly, it was a combination of "eighty-one" and "it's about time." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slackermike Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I was there at that HOF indcution, and it was great. A week or so ago Art Monk came and spoke at Liberty Baptist church, and I got a chance to meet him. He is my favorite Redskin of all time, and after actually hearing him talk about his experiences and getting to meet him, I know why. I don't know of may players in todays NFL that played with the class that #81 exhibited. Here are two pictures I took from that day. The second was a little blurry, but it will be one of my favorite memories because I shared it with my dad.

redskins55 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Art Monk could've set Jerry Rice records if Gibbs would've kept his Air Coryell offense in place. But Art wasnever about numbers he was about winning. And he made Ricky Sanders and Gary Clark better by just being there. Gary Clark should be next!

kingdaddy Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Wow, that's the first time I've seen this. I missed his induction speech but the show of support for him was awesome. I hope Jacoby gets in and gets the same treatment some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
