Darrell Green Will Be a HOFer, Goddammit
By Jamie Mottram | October 31, 2007
Art Monk is my favorite football player of all-time, and the fact that he’s not enshrined in Canton is a crime to humanity, or at least two humans, namely Art and myself. Darrell Green is my second favorite football player of all time, and he’s eligible for the first time. More specifically, he’s on the preliminary list along with 123 other guys, including Monk and Russ Grimm.
So let’s celebrate 28’s candidacy — He’s a lock, right? Right? — with his finest play and one of the most iconic in Redskins history, the crucial punt return touchdown vs. the Bears at Soldier Field in the ‘87 playoffs.
Update: You know, I feel bad about only mentioning Monk, Green and Grimm above. Other “real” Redskins on the preliminary list include Gary Clark, Henry Ellard, Ken Harvey, Joe Jacoby, Jim Lachey, Mark May, Joe Theismann, Doug Williams and Wilber freaking Marshall. Of that group, Jacoby probably has the best chance of getting in, even if he needs to be taken off of the DC radio airwaves like now.

I really hope you’re right, Maj.
In other news, a friend of mine was literally dressed as Captain Obvious last Halloween. Looked kinda like Superskin.

Green, Monk, and Grimm … this might be the year for the Canton pilgrimage …

Although I despise the team, having grown up in the area give me an appreciation and reverence for Darrell Green.
All star on Tecmo Bowl, and in our hearts.

28 is a lock.
Don’t sleep on former Redskin Andre Reed either.

Jamie-
I have a mancrush on Michael David Smith, but you kind of sort of employ him. Why can’t you editorial convince him to support Art Monk? That shit hurts my feelings.

How have no Hogs been inducted yet? How have only Gibbs and Riggo been called from those years?
I hope they at least have a yellow seat cushion up there in Canton waiting for Monk, Green, and Grimm. No journo could possibly explain passing over any of those three this year.
