Today is a Proud day for Joe Gibbs and Skins fans

SFREDSKIN · 08-02-2008, 04:07 PM

I'm going to love watching Joe Gibbs face today as Art and Darrell are inducted into the HOF. Today is a proud day for Joe Gibbs and Redskins fans all over, for Joe it will be like watching 2 of his sons getting inducted and for us fans it will be a day we will never forget. Also congrats to Emmitt Thomas and the rest of the inductees, this has got be the classiest class ever. Love all the players getting inducted today.

HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!!

Absolutely. And I've tried to subtly mention it below my screen name but let's not forget Emmitt Thomas. He was instrumental in shaping DG's career as his coach and a member of the Redskins staff from 1986-1994 (winning two super bowls with us)

I think it's on from 6:00-10:00 (I believe thats what my DVR had as record time), that does not include all the pre-coverage on NFL network.

Wow, what a tribute Emmitt Thomas gave to the Darrell Green, Art Monk, and Joe Gibbs. Impressive.

12thMan · 08-02-2008, 08:28 PM

E. Thomas is still going, but how about all the shout outs to the Redskins organization and numerous players. I've never seen anything like that in an acceptance speech.

Reporting from Section 12. Great tribute, but not as good as the one we gave Michael Irvin!!

Please SkinDogg pass the word to go crazy and give our Redskins the biggest standing ovation ever heard at the HOF, especially for Monk.

I passed the word. Went crazy for Art when he first walked on stage, and then the 4.4 (per ESPN's clock) before his acceptance speech.

What an amazing, amazing day.

At the post-ceremony interviews, I got a little tired of the crowd of fans singing 'Hail to the Redskins' behind the NFL Network set when Monk, Green, and Gibbs were trying to talk.

the ovation the crowd gave Monk when he was introduced was fantastic,great speech by Monk.I was a little surprised that they didnt mention Gibbs more,Monk didnt thank him at all

That ovation was amazing. They said they had never seen anything like it before.

I noticed the same thing (about the lack of acknowledgement of Joe Gibbs), and some of us were talking about it in the stands. Someone had this take:

1. Joe was hands off the defense; it was all Pettibone, and Darrell paid homage to ithose guys in his speech.

2. Art Monk, in his speech, said that he would personally thank others, which coming from Art makes more sense than citing more names then he had to. Without a doubt Joe is among those people.
