Monk and Grimm are HOF finalists

Vote Monk and Grimm!

OK - I added that Grimm is a finalist, but it didn't update the title of the thread. Maybe a moderator can do that for me?

Great News for Redskin fans!

My crusade to get Monk enshrined may end soon - I look forward to finding a life.

Interesting that Lofton (another WR who is spoken in the same breath as a WR who deserves to get in) did not make the cut this time.

My hope is that Irvin's recent legal issues, while not disqualifying him from induction, will convince voters to lay off him this year - clearing the way for #81.

Lenny P said a few weeks ago he thinks Irvin's latest "issues" most definitely will keep him out of the HOF discussion this year. He said it might not be the right thing, but many voters won't be able to overlook his off the field problems.

Funny how off field stuff has kept Monk out basically and maybe now the same thing to another guy will help him. His less than out-goingness with the media when he played has been his biggest hurdle.

Aikman and White are automatics. The only other inevitable on the list is Irvin who has his issues. To me, if they pass over both Grimm and Monk it would have to be a willful, anti-Redskins act. The other names on the list are not that compelling.

LC Greenwood was a good player but the Steelers are not the only team to win 4 Super Bowls. Greenwood is the equivilant of Keena Turner for the 49ers. The press gets way too carried away with those Steeler teams. Next year I expect them to nominate Terry Hanratty.

That's funny....Terry Hanratty! He's way back in the day, I don't even remember him except through videos.

I wish I was wrong,and I hope I'm wrong,but i dont think Monk will make it now and maybe not ever,listening to my local nfl beat writer John mclain,who is on the hall of fame voting committee,he said theres not that many people backing monk,he says monk wasnt even the best reciever on the team,Clark was,blah,blah,blah,and mclain's wife is a huge skin fan and even she cant get him to vote Monk in,I dont know whats wrong with these sportswriters that dont think Monk belongs in the Hall

I've given up on HOF!!! It's as bad as probowl anymore.....makes me sick to stomach that Monk not in yet........TIRED TIRED TIRED of this crap!

YOu know, i'd love for Monk and Grimm to get in. But the fact is, sportswriters won't give him the recognition he deserves. You know Fritz Pollard? The guy played in like the 1920's, but he just got inducted last year. So basically i feel like the same thing is gonna happen to Monk, once everyone's forgotten about him he'll make it in.
