Art Monk Gets What He Deserves - Hall of Fame

[lsbskins1]

My god! It is about time. This man was everything you could want in a football player and in a citizen. Humble and great. I am so glad to see he has gotten the honor he has deserved all along. And Green deserves it too. A good day for Redskins fans, though it would have been better if Grimm made it as well. Read about it here: washingtonpost.com

Green, Monk, Dean, Tippett, Zimmerman elected to Hall of Fame

By Associated Press Green, Monk, Dean, Tippett, Zimmerman elected to Hall of Fame | KPIC CBS 4 - News, Weather and Sports - Roseburg, OR - Roseburg, Oregon | Professional PHOENIX (AP) - It was a Hall of Fame day for the Washington Redskins, with Art Monk and Darrell Green elected to the shrine Saturday. Former commissioner Paul Tagliabue failed to get in for the second straight year. Also voted in were New England linebacker Andre Tippett, San Diego/San Francisco defensive end Fred Dean, Minnesota/Denver tackle Gary Zimmerman and senior committee choice, Kansas City cornerback Emmitt Thomas. In his eighth year of eligibility, Monk finally was chosen. He concluded his career after the 1995 season with Philadelphia, but spent 13 years with the Redskins as one of the NFL's premier receivers. Monk held records for most consecutive games with a reception (164) and career catches (820). Both have been surpassed, but Monk didn't play in as wide-open an era on offense as many other receivers. He was one of the most consistent possession and third-down receivers in the league throughout his 14 pro seasons.

Yes, it's about time for Art Monk. Great football player!
