2006 Hall of Fame Inductees

[celts32]

Jerry Jones is on NFL Network right now talking about all his Cowboy hall of famers...f-ck you too JJ!

[monk81]

Another year and no Art Monk

Our only consolation is at least Irvin didn't get inducted either. That would have been insult to injury if Irvin got in and Art didn't..................

We know part of the problem is Peter King and Paul Zimmerman......GRRRRRRRRRRR

Well since f-in Irvin made it one vote further than Monk the writing is on the wall that irvin will go in before Monk...what a kick in the nuts.

[SUNRA]

THE HOF COMMITTEE ARE A BUNCH OF HIPPOCRITES.

Art Monk is a Wide Receiver's receiver. He exhibited all of the intangibles and character that these bastards criticize Micheal Irving, Terrell Owens and Keyshawn Johnson for not having. Art Monk's numbers are not the problem. The team that he represented is the problem. No New York writer wants to give credit to this organization, thus Peter King pushes the envelope for Harry Carson who didn't even care to be in this piece of shit. Remember how long it was before George Allen was inducted? He had been dead for at least ten years. He was an afterthought. I can only recall Joe Gibbs and John Riggins being inducted before Allen.

Let's channel all of our anger against Peter King and the rest of those backward thinking idiots who exhibit nothing but contempt for the Redskins organization. Stop buying Sports Illustrated and any other magazine that disrespects our team. Now's the time to let every biased sportswriter who voted against Art Monk feel the power of rejection.

Rod Woodson was the first person to express his dissappointment at the committee overlooking Art Monk. He said," for some reason they don't want Art Monk in the HOF, but when he retired he was one of the most prolific receivers in the league." This only confirms what all of us Redskins have been saying for years.

Dan Akrush of Pro-Football Weekly has been a long time supporter of Art Monk too. I'm canceling my SI subscription and citing King, Zimmerman as the reasons......Has to be an anti-Redskin bias, and a lot of the writer's don't like Dan Snyder either so that can't help, but you'd think with Joe Gibbs putting in a good word that maybe just maybe they'd listen to a Hall of Fame Coach, in fact the player's coach..... I knew Reggie White was a shew in and as was Troy Boy but you'd think Art would be there.......SIGH Maybe if Art beat women (Moon chocked his wife until she was almost unconscious)or maybe if he took drugs, he'd get into the HOF. Art has a quiet classiness, just TOO CLASSY I guess. http://www.mndaily.com/daily/1995/10/11/editorial_opinions/efball/[/url]

Art Monk has won some superbowls hasn't he? Why don't they menton that in his bio?

[JWsleep]

The hall is a joke if they don't step up for Monk. For all the lipservice the NFL pays to character and professionalism, what it really rewards is flash and money. To think, if Monk had acted more like Irvin, he'd be closer or in the hall. That's what this says. If that's the standard here, I'm glad Monk isn't in--he's a better person than that. We all know he'll never raise his voice against this; he's above that. We fans have to take every and any opportunity to promote Monk. It may be that it won't come to anything, but you never know.

ART MONK, #81--He's in the ring of fame at FedEx. That's a higher honor anyway. F*** the Hall!

[Wanga Skins]

Can we get a new avatar, for anyone to use regardless of # of posts, with monk pissing on the hall of fame logo/building? If not that how bout a HOF logo inside the no smoking sign. SCREW THE HOF!!!

[mooby]

i'm not suprised that monk didn't make it. He deserves it more so than other finalists. I think every year the voters just regard him as filler, just someone who makes it to the finals but never has a good shot of getting in. Until the HOF elects new voters i don't think we'll be seeing him in there. Someday he'll get what he rightfully deserves.

[SmootSmack]

I'm still upset that not a single Hog has gotten in yet...and what about Gary Clark. Hell even Dave Butz, while we're at it Dexter Manley

[redrock-skins]

This is pure BS. Peter King, please take your vote, your media credentials, shine them up real nice, turn them sideways, and ....(anyone care to finish?).

It wouldn't be so offensive if they were consistent with the voting. Saying Harry Carson is an HOFer brings a whole long list of possible Redskins into play. What about Joe Theismann, Mark Moseley, and Len Hauss. I have always assumed that Darell Green would be first ballot but I am starting to wonder. I can hear Peter King now: "You can't really put Green in the same class with Lester Hayes because he relied so much on his speed. He only played in seven Pro Bowls. And to top it all off he only had 52 interceptions in his career. That's fewer than three a year."

Absolutey, Dave Butz and Clark should get consideration. Especially if Harry Carson and Rayfield Wright make it in.

Such a disappointment. The NFL now stands for National Fantasy League.

Art Monk is clearly, clearly one of the most prolific wide receievers of our day. He has the stats, the rings, and the longevity of career to prove it.
Not only that, but he commanded the unwavering respect of his peers and coaches during his career.

This is such a huge mockery on the HOF itself. Not because I'm a Redskin fan, but because I'm a football fan as well. I couldn't imagine Walter Payton not being inducted. I couldn't imagine Roger Staubach or Joe Montana not being inducted. And while I'm drawing comparisons using apples and oranges, Art's impact on our championships was vital. To me, now and for some time, the HOF has dimishished it's value. I went there once when I was a kid....to me it was almost akin to a pilgrimage of sorts. You went to see history in a capsule. To feel the aura of greatest in one building. To gather amongst people from all over the country to share that common bond. It's something you can't read about or hear about, you just have to go. It's not the same as attending a Super Bowl game or anything like that, but it is special, very special.

If Art Monk get's in next year or the year after, we'll be happy nonetheless. But in some sort of way, I feel his place in the Hall has been gather dust for a while now and it's time they give him his due.

Dexter Manley is the only one I'd have to disagree with. Of course, isn't LT in the HoF? Not that I dont' think DM had the skills....

speaking of the hall of fame....what Redskins are in the hall presently?

Man, that's a long list of Skins in the Hall.

I think we have the second most in the Hall.

Go to Redskins.com and they'll give you the names.
