• Monk's 13.5 yds/rec. for his career ties him with Tom Fears (Rams 1948-56) for the lowest among HoF receivers, and is nearly 3 yds less than the HoF avg (16.42).
• Monk ranks 3rd amongst HoF wr's in games played, but only 10th in td's.
• Fellow HoF'er Steve Largent, who held the record for receptions prior to Monk, had a career avg of 16 yds/rec.; Largent also scored more td's (100 to Monk's 68) despite playing in 24 fewer games.
• Monk played in 65 more games than HoF'er Michael Irvin, but scored only 3 more td's (68 to 65).

What's done is done, but imho Monk's election to the Hall has less to do with his career than it does the endless lobbying by the Washington media.

As HoF voter and long time skeptic Paul Zimmerman so elequently put it: " "I figured, just put him the **** in already, I'm tired of being the *******."

What a ringing endorsement.

Is that really a bad thing? Fact is, from now until forever, we'll never have to hear anything about Art Monk ever.
