I don't buy into the argument that Peter King has singlehandedly kept Monk out. He wasn't in favor of it for a long time, but apparently he wasn't alone.

Isn't it a little coincidental that right when he decides Monk is worthy of HOF consideration a new crop of receivers with better stats will be eligible? I think he doesn't want to receive any more heat for being regarded as a major opponent of his selection for the past number of years. He's a chicken-sh*t coward that's trying to cover his gluteous maximus using superficial public relations tactics.

Those were my thoughts exactly.

Also, just because he says that he "changed his mind", and has "advocated" for Monk doesn't mean that he actually voted for him. The writers can only vote for a limited number of players each year.

Shefter explained that certain members hold sway over many other members and for years we have heard that PK is one of those people. I think you could make an argument that HE DID singlehandedly keep him out and now that there are other WR who will get in it seems disingenuous to change your mind when you know it is going to be even harder.
