The Hall-of-Fame Committee Whiffs Once Again and Votes Against Derrick Thomas
mvn.com 2/2/2008 — I am outraged that Derrick Thomas did not make the NFL Hall of Fame. Absolutely outraged. I am even more outraged that nobody else outside of Kansas City is outraged. Not to get into this war of who should have got in, but it is impossible to figure out how Andre Tippett makes it over Derrick Thomas. DT had over 25 more sacks than Tippett, 31 more forced fumbles… Can anyone explain ...

Andre Tippett, Hall of FamerLand of Patriots | New England Patriots Blog
The NFL announced their new Hall of Fame inductees for this year and Andre Tippett has made the cut. It was an outrage last year that he did not make it. Tippett is flat out one of the best linebackers to ever play this game. When I was a kid Tippett was in his prime and he was dominant, playing on the strong side. For a few years I would argue with anyone who would listen that he was ...

Andre Tippett Is A Hall Of FamerOne More Dying Quail
When I was sixteen, I read somewhere that former New England Patriots linebacker Andre Tippett held a black belt in some form of karate (maybe multiple forms. I was sixteen a long time ago). This information was all it took to send me scampering off to the local dojo, where the sensei asked what had brought me to his door. "Um...I read that Andre Tippett is a black belt at karate and I think ...

Art Monk and Darrell Green were elected to the Hall-of-Fame today. A great honor that needs to be mentioned at the very least. Monk retired when I was 12, so I don’t have many memories of him besides his football cards.

2008 Pro Football Hall Of Fame InducteesSportaphile
I think it’s crazy how Ray Guy keeps getting passed over for the hall of fame. This dude is THE best punter in the history of the NFL and never gets in because of the position he plays.

Is it finally Monk's turn? Put him in with Darrell GreenBleacher Report

Welcome to Canton, Art Monk and Darrell GreenThe Pipeline
Art Monk and Darrell Green were two of my favorite players growing up, so it was nice to learn today that both were named to the 2008 class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Monk was a key part of the Wild Bunch Redskins in the '80s, and shoulda been in the hall a few years back -- he did retire as the all-time receptions leader, after all, even if he has since been passed. I remember him ...
