Monk overlooked again

In March of 1996, Michael Irvin was arrested on charges of cocaine possession at a hotel party celebrating his 30th birthday. After numerous court appearances amid a national media circus, which featured Irvin showing up to court in a full-length mink coat, he pled no contest to the charges and was sentenced to community service, ordered to pay a $10,000 fine, and put on 4-years probation. When drug-tested for illicit drugs, he tested negative. But the NFL suspended Irvin for the first five games of the 1996 season.

Irvin was also known as a regular at the "White House", a private pleasure palace near the team's training facility, where he and some Dallas teammates, like lineman Nate Newton, allegedly enjoyed a variety of wanton activities, including drugs and illicit sex.

So this is the type of guy that gets into the HOF over someone with no off the field issues ever in his career, say someone like ...um Art Monk!

Once again Monk is passed over but this time by someone like this. I'm not saying Irvin didn't put up good numbers, but the HOF should vote on the people as a whole, and not just the stats they put up, which is obviously what occurs. Coke heads should have to wait longer than a clean cut guy like Monk. Never have I seen "Monk arrested again for possession" LOL. Peter King and all the rest, you guys suck.
