A Quick Hitter
This is a quick note of congrats to Art Monk and Darrell Green for (finally) getting into the NFL Hall of Fame.
Both men were amazing athletes and are both stand up guys. They both played the sport of professional football in a way that's lost on most players now. They both started out making minimum amounts of cash and earned every bit of their clout through hard work.
I met Darrell Green once and he was an incredible guy to talk to. I met Art Monk a few times while working at George Mason. We ran housing for his summer football camps and I got to talk to him at length quite a few times. He's very cool.
It's nice to see two guys who were actually decent himan beings who were also amazing athletes get their kudos in a day when people are more likely to be rewarded with multimillion dollar sponsorships because of their attitude and bad boy natures.
It's like the world is cleaning itself up... Michael Vick is in jail... and hopefully raped daily... and Green and Monk are getting inducted to the Hall of Fame.
Well done indeed.
