As one who has had a love-hate relationship over the years with my hometown football team, the Washington Redskins, I was made proud today by the team and fans as I watched Art Monk and Darryl Green being inducted in the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. 

 

I can’t think of many things that bring diverse groups of people together, voluntarily, than sports. There were so many D.C. fans with maroon and gold on in Canton that one would have thought it was Washington’s opening game day. And it was all owed to the respect and love that they had for this year’s inductees. 

 

What more can be said about Art and Darryl than to have supporters come up to be with them on their special day in the way that their fans did. You gave of yourselves unselfishly which is a rarity, today.  

 

Thank you, gentlemen, for all of the exciting times that you’ve given us.

WHat kind of Redskin fan are you if you think their colors are MAROON & GOLD?

And if your comment about "two for all D.C." is supposed to be reminiscent of the "Hail to the Redskins" song you're wrong there too pardner.

The words to the song are "Fight for OLD D.C.". Sorry, Charlie...!

Three cheers for Art Monk and a big RASPBERRY for Darrell, "LOOK AT ME", Green...!!!

Stars should be humble and appreciative, if I had known he was so ARROGANT & CONCEITED I wouldn't have cheered him so much! Fred Dean made a wonderful speech, as did Art, and Darrell's was good until the last two minutes when he totally lost my respect!
