To me, there are a lot of players that aer classless and in the hall of fame. Not that I disagree with it, but a person that oozes class should have more consideration. That should be a factor if you ask me.
I'm still pretty disgusted that Irvin made it over Monk. Irvin took drugs, and violated the NFL...gave the NFL a black eye. How do we know he wasn't high every time he played? Monk was a class act and went about his business, and sacrificed himself for the benefit of the team, and he's being punished for it. Quite a shame.
I have been to Cooperstown, and I have been to the Basketball HOF, I have also been to the Hockey HOF, but I will not go to Canton until Monk is put in. If classy, record breaking, honorable players can't make it in, then I don't want to go in either.

Jsarno - one other thing to consider - Irvin had Troy Aikman throwing to him while Monk had a bunch of different qb's thowiing to him. Imagine if during Monk's career he had one hall of fame QB the whole time - he'd probably have even better stats. During Monk's time in Washington how many different qb's were throwing him the ball? To me this proves he is even a better reciever since he had to adjust to so many differnt qb's during his time in Washington.
Not to mention Emmitt Smith being in Dallas didn't hurt Irvin's stats either. I can't imagine how many different running backs were on the Redskins during Monk's tenure with the team.
