Spare me the platitudes. I know who he is, and what he's done. I know all about the injustices done to him, and all about how this-guy-and-that-guy shouldn't even be...blah-blah-blah. What I want to know is, what can you do to help get him in to Canton ? That's what we need to work on.

You usually do, Redeemed.
The idea is, I had to copy these links from sites outside of Hogs.net, without permission from those sites.
I PM'd the links to DEHog, for his approval.
He submitted them to the board. The board said, "Okay".
Seems like the right thing to do, since I ain't paying the bills around here.

Thanks for the personal jab, TC; I REALLY appreciate that.

I assumed posting links was okay, considering many of the posters on this site make a name for themselves by putting them up?

Guess I was wrong.

Time to hit the ol' Site News & Info section!

personal jabs? you've got personal issues. Rolling Eyes

links to articles are OK. but not if you are trying to sell something.(and selling monk is something we are glad to help with)

tc did the right thing. like he said, he doesn't pay any bills here, like not many do. not only did he do the right thing, he did the admirable thing..... he didn't turn this into his own personal playground. he took the steps he needed to, to support his cause.(which i might add, is in my opinion a great one)

"seemed like the right thing to do".........

glad to see the a few people around here care.

instead of 'assuming' everyone would think it was OK and would agree, he took the steps he should have to get his point across. never met him, but if he has that type of respect for others, i'd go out on a limb to say he's a great guy in person as well.

I knock on Redeemed as a form of recreation, but hadn't intended to this time out.
I won't apologize for it until I know what I did.
Hellhog, it was common courtesy. I appreciate that you appreciated it.
Anyway, I see lots of people have looked, but nobody is chiming in.
Huh.

I think that the game has passed Monk by. The fans have forgotten him. What a tragedy.

Art Monk is a class act and deserves to be in the HOF.

How he likes the Giants is beyond me. Very Happy
