Cool, welcome to the board

Mr. Wilbert and I worked together at Grotto Pizza about 15 years ago. I thought he was dead or in prison by now...


Ahhh. You can take the boy out of the grotto, but you can't take the grotto out of the boy...

Yeah i think eventually art will get into the hall, but it'll probably be when im old and gray. I mean, Fritz Pollard just got voted into the hall this year, and he played in like 1920. He got into the hall like fifty years after he retired.

Art Monk definitely deserves to be in the hall of fame, but he was so incredibly smooth, quiet, and low key, that apparently, no one else in the league ever even noticed him. He had deceptive speed, due to his long strides; impressive leaping ability; great hands; and was fearless. I never remember him celebrating his own accomplishments, whether it was a touchdown or a first down, because he knew it was a team effort, and he was always there for the team.

I don't begrudge any of the many quarterbacks in the hall of fame their status, but it does seem that they have an easier time getting in. I must be honest with myself, though-- I've always loved Johnny Unitas, but I can't remember who any of his favorite receivers were...

Welcome to the board SkinsNDeacs..............

I'm a Redskin fan and Spurs fan.......I love your Wake Forest alumni Timmy Duncan :) HAIL TO THE REDSKINS AND GO SPURS GO!!!

On Pro-Football Weekly's back page, "THE SLANT" August VolXX No 6 issue, Executor Editor Dan Arkush was discussing the the Hall Of Fame and Raider Tim Brown and Dan Arkush said,........"Brown must wait in line behind Art Monk, Irvin and others.........he went on to say, "It's absolutely CRIMINAL, in my opinion that Monk has yet to be enshrined."

You Go Dan....... :thumb:

Signed petition.
It is quite ridiculous that he's not in there already, but maybe him and Darrell Green will be put in together by the year 2020. Monk didn't bitch, didn't call out his teammates, didn't hold out after signing a multi million dollar contract, didn't act ridiculous on the field. He was true class. It's a shame that Irvin will probably get in at all after all the bs he pulled, same with Deion.

Yeah i think eventually art will get into the hall, but it'll probably be when im old and gray. I mean, Fritz Pollard just got voted into the hall this year, and he played in like 1920. He got into the hall like fifty years after he retired.

It will only be after someone bumps off King and Dr. Z. When it comes to HOF voting they are incredibly hypocritical. Production and long term service count for everyone BUT Monk.

I'm going to send the petition to the Redcskins Fan Club of Atlanta. Wehave about 50 members who watch the games each week at a Buckhead bar. Of course No. 81 for the Falcons (Peerless Price) makes a mockery of the WR position.

Brud, as for being dead or in prison, living in Atlanta and surrounded by Falcons fans (who are not true football fans in any way) is kind of like being in jail. They're all bandwagon fans (no offense to Tony Kornheiser) and know very little about pro football. They do, however, love the Dawgs.

What I wouldn't give to be watching Skins games at the Grand Slam with some cold beers, surrounded by people wearing burgundy and gold.
