Art Monk finally got elected to the Hall Of Fame which is a place he should have been many years ago. Monk has been dismissed as a candidate for various reasons, but in my opinion all were just lame excuses. Monk play on a team where he wasn't usually the main guy, but if you needed a third down converted he was the guy to go to.
Many people slighted Art Monk as he was not the media darlings others were and just went on the field every Sunday and did his job. Over 800 receptions and his 162 game streak of catching at least one pass in a game is a testament to how good he was. The Hall of Fame seems to slight people that everyone knows should be in the Hall of Fame.
Older players have become bitter about the slow election process of guys that should be their. I totally agree with them and wonder when a player is going to tell the Hall of Fame thanks but no thanks. I guess you really can't blame them as that time is going to arrive sooner than later.
