Monk deserves the Hall more than anyone. In his career, he broke existing records for most catches (Largent - he's in the hall) and most receptions in a season (106 in 1984, which was WAY more than anyone else had caught before then)....he also caught over 60 TDs and would have had a lot more catches and yards if Clark and Sanders had not been equally prolific. Also, he was a class act who never opened up his mouth unless he had to and gave his heart and soul on the field. Monk has 3 rings and Ellard probably is a notch below the hall because he didn't bust open those records that Monk did. Jerry Rice's and Cris Carter's performances shouldn't underscore what Monk did before Rice broke all his records. On the other hand, Michael Irvin does NOT deserve to get into the Hall unless Monk does also. He had Aikman, Emmitt, and consistency at RB and QB over his years. Monk caught passes from Thiessman, Jay Schroeder, Stan Humprhies, Mark Rypien, Doug Williams, Cary Rutledge, etc. etc., winning super bowls with 3 different RBs and 3 different QBs just like Gibbs. Did I also mention that Michael Irvin is a possible drug user and thug based on his recent car stops and also stated that TO was not wrong for saying Farve would do that much better than McNabb. Irvin takes moron to a whole new level, while Monk was the definition of class. Class v. crass? I'll take Monk and those stupid writers better get it right this time. Monk rules, Irvin drools.
