Yep, a freakin crackhead who claims to be clean and as long as he stayed on television and buddy buddy with the ESPN he was going to get in. How in the hell are so many ESPN guys aloud to vote and not one reporter from the Washington Post is?

I feel bad for Monk but like I've said in the past he was a good receiver but not HoF material. I think us Redskins fans are just going to have to accept the fact that Monk is not going into the HoF.

I could also get in trouble with how I really want to respond to this post.

Did he read the accomplishments that our fellow fan gave in the other thread? What does being 1# mean ?

Thanks for the intelligent insight.

I know a lot of people are pissed about today's vote and perhaps Irish might have wanted to wait a day or two to post something saying Monk doesn't deserve to be in, but Irish IS entitled to his opinion and DOES deserve respect. So, please do not enage in personal attacks.

That being said, Irish, what the hell are you thinking! (j/k). But seriously, how can you possibly say that Monk doesn't deserve to be in? Because he didn't make a memorable catch? If that is actually a criterion of yours, then Brandon Lloyd should start getting ready to have his bust made. What does a memorable catch have to do with anything? What, if anything else, are your reasons why you don't think he should be in?

IMO the one of the biggest reasons Monk did not get the votes is because in the Super Bowls he just was not any kind of factor. I know he cant help how he was used (or not used) in the game plan but thats just the way it is. Also as I have said in the past his numbers while good when he retired are just not that outstanding now. He needed to get in within the first couple of years he was eligible, now that thats passed his numbers and memory keep fading. Unfortunately I just dont see him ever getting in.

Now you are starting to get to me. You say while his numbers were good when he retired????????? He was th NFL all time leader in receptions when he retired. Take a look at the word good in the dictionary because you don't know what it means.

"... but Irish IS entitled to his opinion ..."

I agree with this

"...and DOES deserve respect. So, please do not enage in personal attacks. "

But not this. Irish purposely tries to instigate trouble and therefore does not deserve to be shielded from abuse. His comments are akin to shouting "fire" in a crowded movie theatre.

I didn't notice it before, but then again my memory sucks. Perhaps he did or did not antagonize people in other posts, but his post in this thread probably didn't warrant personal attacks, even if it was ill-timed.

I aggree, isnt the majority of Monk's stats better than Irvin's? so stats dont matter the amount of drugs and hookers one screws counts? then i see why monk didnt make it , its just because he stayed quiet and you didnt hear about any off the field issues involving him.. as why i see the forbidden T.O. make it. just cuz hes in the media alot. like i said before I lost all respect for the Ballot casters that didnt vote him in. Who held all the records that Rice had to break? . guess that doesnt count either.. as i say F**K them

Tremendous crock of steaming horseshit. DALLAS SUCKS!
I hate Michael Irvin. He sucks too.

Hold on now, guys. It actually seems to me that irish thinks he should have gotten in at one time but now that more and more receivers are becoming eligible with greater numbers, his chances are greatly diminishing.

I don't think (correct me if I'm wrong, irish) that he's saying Art is not HOF worthy, it's just that he's going to keep dropping down the list of NFL receiving stats, which is a primary focus of the election process.

By the way, I totally believe and always will believe that Art Monk should be in so don't take this post as me saying the opposite. I just didn't want this day to turn into one where fellow Redskins fans attack one another.

United we stand!
