Art Monk vs Michael Irvin

so 750 catches and 3 rings is a gimme, but 940 catches and 3 rings isn't... great math there.

Not saying I agree with it, but here's what he will say: Monk never actually had a significant role in any of the Superbowls he played in, (he was injured in XXII against the Broncos) and never once caught a touchdown in any of the three Big Games he was a part of.

Still, steveo is right -- he's a fat douchebag.

but thurman thomas had to sit out a superbowl with a lost helmet, yet for him, that's somehow okay...

Mon night 6-5-6 @ 8:43

Monk 63%
Irvin 37%

but thurman thomas had to sit out a superbowl with a lost helmet, yet for him, that's somehow okay...he played in that game he just didnt start

I remember him sitting out for the first two or three plays of Super Bowl 26 against the Skins for not being able to find his helmet, but not the whole game.

For the record though, I'm not sure that Thurman Thomas is a lock for the Hall. To me, he's one of those "fringe" players, a very good player, but not a Hall of Famer.

i have said it before and i will say it again.
monk will get in when darrel green gets in.i think green is a first ballot hofer and monk will get inducted that same year! that will be a great day my fellow skins fans and then we will all get our chance to colectively tell king to suck it!

Here are some quotes I found that tell it all: "Monk's most noteworthy NFL accomplishment was his record for career receptions (940), broken by Jerry Rice during the final week of 1995, Monk's last season in the league. Despite being the first to eclipse 900 receptions, as well as retiring with the single season receptions record (106) and the most consecutive games with a catch (183)"..."Monk has more receptions than any receiver currently in the Hall of Fame, and has more receptions than Hall of Famers Lynn Swann and John Stallworth combined. His statistics are similar to those of James Lofton, a 2003 inductee"..."former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin is often referred to as a "future Hall of Famer" on the air by his broadcasting contemporaries, yet he has fewer touchdowns, yards, and receptions (190 fewer) than Monk"...And finally "An interesting note is that from the modern era, there are 24 running backs in the Hall of Fame, 23 quarterbacks, but only 17 wide receivers. Monk was named the 91st best football player of all time by the Sporting News, ranking him behind only 8 receivers."

I wish Art Monk could run into Peter King in an Alley somewhere...

Being the classy guy he is, Art would simply say hello and go his own way.

Now, If I, and a few others from this site, ran into King in an alley ....

Oh yeah Irvin's QB = Troy Aikman HOF; Monk's QBs = Theismann, Schrader, Williams, Rypien none of whom are HOFs

And even Aikman should not have ben a first ballot HOF either!!!!!!!
