In his first year of eligibility, Darrell Green took another step towards being elected to the Hall of Fame by being named one of the 17 finalsts. And while I am really excited that Green is being received so well, I can't help but wonder if the voters will finally wise up and elect Art Monk this year.
Skins fans know Monk retired as the leader in multiple receiving categories in NFL history but was overshadowed by at the same time as GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) Jerry Rice. And while it's been a shame that Monk has been denied his spot for so long, the thing that really gets me is that Michael Irvin was voted in before him, even though Monk's stats over his career were better than Irvin's in almost every category.
I could rant and rave about this for days but I will save that if Monk is once again denied when the final vote is cast on Feb. 2.
Other finalists who contributed to the Skins include Russ Grimm and Andre Reed (we won't hold the fact that he mainly played for Buffalo against him).
