Time for some False Hope from Peter King

Does anyone have a list of hall of fame voters?
It's insane that he isn't in.
I will make the trip also when Monk gets in.
Like to see entire redskins organization try to get like 100,000 people to go.
Have to hold it at a speedway.
hahahhahahahahha.
Gonna be huge. Atleast in my heart. I saw Monk play almost every game. He didn't make shit for money and he gave his all every play without ever being a bitch like so many players in the league today. Went over the middle again and again. Let's all promise to take our families and all redskins gear to canton next year! I'm in. God bless Art Monk.

In Kings article he talks about special teamer Steve Tasker and when he is finished he just sticks a small sentence in about Art Monk----

"Now on to other e-mails. And this is a big surprise: I got 16 million pieces of mail saying Art Monk should be in."


This is a big accomplishment from "US" the real fans that know a Hall of Famer like Art Monk when we see one. We finally got him to at least re-think his position, or at least that is what he is saying.

Did you read the next page? He devotes a decent-sized chunk to the Art Monk debate.

It has been reported that King does in fact have a significant amunt of sway in the room. The way the process works is that the final 15 players are each presented and for the first few years of Monks eligibility the biggest voice of dissent was King. essentially he got up every time and railed until he got enough people to agree. Something tells me that almost any player could be kept out if one respected person made a strong and passionate enough argument to do so. Now he has brainwashed enough people that he no longer needs to rail every year. The process is screwy.

If that's the case then I hate King even more than I thought. How on earth could anyone have something against Art Monk? He was such a class act and his stats don't lie.

I read the whole article mheisig. No one had said anything about that little quote and i wanted to put in the forum.

16 MILLION emails??? Do you think he was being sarcastic? Damn his inbox must have taken a long time to clear out!!!!

At least he's willing to keep an open mind about it, that's all we can ask at this point.

Monk will get in eventually, the landslide of support is starting to build. I think that's something the Hall voters look for, are the fans passionate about a guy getting in.

I think they're starting to see that passion for Monk.

yeah, king cant live forever

yeah, king cant live forever


You are right on! The phrase "Long live the King!" doesn't mean he will live forever.
The only king living forever, is the King of Kings! All the rest are in their grave.

Who cares about the HOF?

I have become so sick and tired of all of this nonsense. A group of fatass no-nothing sports writers don't have to validate your career to make you a success. Regardless of how those idiots (and others) feel, Monk was one of the greatest NFL players of ALL TIME.

But...but...it's the Hall of FAME! If you want fame don't you have to be in the Hall of Fame? I mean the amount of fame you can get is much lower if you're only in the Kitchen of Fame, or the Bathroom of Fame. You gotta be in the HALL man, the Hall.
