First of all, I completley agree with your statement. However, it just proves a sense of biasness, I think. Just because he declined an interview or whatever, it should keep him out of the hall. I mean Barry Sanders didnt really do interview's, and he got in right away (I understand Sanders was better than Monk). They say that they take all the off the feild stuff out of the equation and they dont.
