For one of them, it was because he played so long (20 years). For the other, I’m not sure I can explain it rationally (one site put together a 21-minute video case for why he should have been in there during the time we waited). But tonight, Darrell Green and Art Monk were inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame. I guess it’s only fitting that they get inducted together, as there were one of the key constants during those Super Bowl years. (OK, Green actually wasn’t on the team for the first Super Bowl victory.)
So here’s a toast to two of the nicest guys to ever play the game — they played it hard, played it well, and played it fairly. They were among the best ever.
