The Reason Art Monk isnt in the Hall

I know there is a thread about this; however, I didnt want this to get lost. I'm reading a interview on cnnsi.com, with Dr.Z , he was talking about what went on inside of the room when they were voting. I know many of us were uspet that Monk was left out of the hall, but rest easy, because Dr. Z has made me feel so much better.... Dr.Z and GMANC711 present to you the reason that Art Monk did not make the hall of fame this year.....


"SI.COM: How about Art Monk?

Dr. Z: Monk was hurt by Michael Irvin being eligible this year. It's done alphabetically, and Irvin was presented before Monk. I think that really hurt him."


The Reason Art Monk got f*cked again, is because M comes after I in the alphabet.

Heres the link if anyone wants to read that bullcrap.http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/writers/dr_z/02/05/hof.qa/index.html

That's just lame. I mean I think the other way around might make some more sense because you could say Irvin is fresher in everyone's minds when the actual final voting is done.

Next time they should just go by first names since Art comes before Michael

I CAN'T BELIEVE HE ACTUALLY SAID THAT! My God. I mean at least MAKE SOMETHING UP that sounds more feasible than that. Jeebus.

Seriously. If he said Irvin was more insturmental to his team, or more important to his team, I could disagree with it, but at least its a real reason.

or maybe this:

"SI.COM: How about Art Monk?

Dr Z: Monk was hurt by the fact that Irvin hooked us up with some nice quality cocaine and hookers that were on point! Monk's fruit basket was nice but we're talking Hall of Fame ballots here

:lol:

How do we get Smootsmack on the HOF voting team??? :thumb:

I can't think of a case where a QB has the same number of records and superbowl win as Monk and isn't in the hall. The fact that he was a wide receiver hurt him. 22 1st string football positions, 2 QB's were "locks" for 2 of the 6 openings. Every other position is going against the odds. That's just the way it is. The Skins won with three different QB's, three different RB's but Monk and Grimm were there for each. These guys need to think a little harder.

The only way now Monk will make the Hall of Fame is if he gets in the press booth or pregame as sad as that sounds. He would have to get his face out there and become popular. Or he could always hook up with some cocaine and hookers.
Edit: I would say he could be dead by the time he gets in. Look for next year or soon after that he wont even make the top 10.

If the alphabet is the reason for Monk not getting into the Hall of Fame then how can you explain Steve Young???
