About time that Monk made it in. Green was a no brainer. Congrats to those guys!

Finally, Art got in...Green started to cry but pulled 2gether..It is nice to see them both get in the hall in the same year

Green is still at the podium and now he's talking to Monk on the phone.

It's about time! Maybe Art's wait was worth it...now he gets to go in together with Darrell. Very nice that those great 80's teams finally get some well-deserved recognition. Both of these guys were CLASS acts on and off the field and will only enhance the Hall of Fame for future generations.

As much as I enjoyed watching them play...I think the thing that really stands out in this day and age of self-promoting blabber-mouths (see: Michael Irvin) these two guys are humble, soft-spoken gentlemen that make me so proud to be a Redskins fan today. Hail Skins!

HOF 2008

Does this mean the Skins will get to play in the HOF game? [-o<

It's your thread, but I would have titled it "Monk elected to Hall of Fame!!!"

Green's selection was not a surprise, but it has been a long undeserved wait for the over-deserving Art Monk.

So:

Art Monk is in the Hall of Fame!!
Art Monk is in the Hall of Fame!!
Art Monk is in the Hall of Fame!!
Art Monk is in the Hall of Fame!!
Art Monk is in the Hall of Fame!!
Art Monk is in the Hall of Fame!!
Art Monk is in the Hall of Fame!!

Who cares about the Super Bowl????

+1. Great to see Monk get in at last and to do with #28 is just fantastic.

Suddenly, I'm a man without a mission. Couldn't be happier.
Oh, and congrats to #28 and Coach Thomas, too.

I can't believe I beat everyone to the scoop... thats a 1st. And yes, Monk's name should have been in the thread title.
