listening to John Thompson yesterday on 980, he brought up a good point (which i couldn't believe either...)
more and more, people are choosing value over talent. guys like TO, Moss, Irvin are in the headlines because of their antics and their value to the media to create those headlines...Irvin's nickname is the Playmaker.
on the flip side, back in Monk's day, players did what they had to do in order for the team to succeed. Monk has no value to the media because he didn't provide headlines for them to thrive off of.
in this day and age of 24/7 media, unless you're making the headlines, you tend to be forgotten...and unfortunately, those in the past are being compared to those now...
