I came across an article that one of my “favorite” writers Jason Whitlock wrote about the new class of Hall of Fame inductees for 2008. Jason Whitlock basically goes on a rant about how this class is undeserving of the induction so honored to them. Whitlock rants on and on about how Fred Dean of the 49ers and Art Monk of the Redskins have no place in the HoF. My attention really came on Art Monk and how as Jason Whitlock stated that Art Monk had a really good career but not a Hall of Fame deserving career. Well Lets look at Art Monk’s career and really see if Jason Whitlock has any merit to his statement.
Let’s see, Art Monk is the first receiver in the NFL history to catch 900 career receptions. Monk also set the single season record for receptions with 106 that has since been broken. He also set the mark for the most consecutive games with a reception with 183 games. Did I mention 3 Super Bowl Rings????
The very fact that Jason Whitlock is blaming the cowardly writers for voting in players who do not deserve the induction is funny since he is in the same boat judging players on a professional game he has no experience in other than as a spectator.
Bottom line if Art Monk doesn’t deserve to be in the Hall of Fame than there are a lot of players that shouldn’t be there as well.
To Put it short, stop hatin because you never got to play pro football.
