Besides that, look at the other receivers of his era that are in....Lynn Swann? Give me a break! Maybe if Monk cried every time someone mentioned the hall of fame instead of just living his life, he'd be in by now.

correct me if I'm wrong - Riggo never made the pro bowl.
Clark was the more dangerous deep reciever, but dropped a lot more.

It almost sounds like he's looking for reasons not to vote him in, rather than looking at all the many reasons to vote him in.

I remember watching the last 4-5 years of Monk's career & so often he was referred to as "future hall of famer Art Monk." Can't believe it when I think about it now.
