The Super Bowl was sucky. Here are all the sucky factors:
1) The circus was so out of place. It is a neat show but it was like having a 7 on 7 passing camp before the start of a ballet. It didn't go and was just an awkwardly noisy and sensitive spectacle. Good start
2) The 2 week layoff. Both teams were rusty as evidenced by the horrendous turnovers. I think this was a huge factor in an extremely poorly played super bowl.
3) It was a poorly played super bowl.
4) Every sports fan watching (note, this does not count the dumb chicks and % of dudes who watch for the commercials and 'shshshshssh' people when the ads come on) was incredibly tense awaiting the inevitable Rex Grossman.org screw-up. The sun will rise tomorrow, you have to pay taxes, and that idiot will do something to cost his team. He forgot that the Superbowl is not a game of 500 on the playgound where the most important thing for the tosser is to throw the ball straight up in the air into a crowd.
5) The Career Builder ads were mint. The rest were huge letdowns/offensive. Review them here.
6) CBS stinks. Seriously. Get a wiper for the camera...maybe a de-fogging lense?
Whatever. Fun gathering.
I am really here to protest an injustice. One of my 2 favorite childhood sports heroes (the other was Cal Ripken) was once again denied entry into the Pro Football Hall of Hame. James Arthur Monk was once again the victim of lies and indefensible logic. This would be like Greg Maddux not getting into the Hall because he pitched on teams with other good pitchers.
I really cannot understand the arguments against his induction. You retire as the #1 pass catcher of all time, part of 3 different Super Bowl teams with 3 different QBs, and are regarded by your peers as one of the best to ever play the position, you go.

Watch. Educate yourself. That man belongs in the Hall of Fame. He belongs long before a cheating coke head that pushed off on 80% of his receptions and was just a cog in a series of great teams with a Hall of fame QB, HOF RB, and one of the 3 greatest offensive lines ever assembled. Complete farce. I'm tempted to drive to Canton wearing a Monk jersey holding up a sign that says "Irvin did cocaine and hired prostitutes and got caught doing it and then he stabbed a guy when he didn't like the haircut and then he got caught doing cocaine again." But Art Monk wouldn't want that. He would want to take make a 1st down. That's what he did. He made first downs.

You forgot to mention that he was the first WR ever to catch 100 balls in a season. He revolutionized the position. The way WRs are used today can be traced back, in part, to the role Monk played on those teams.
He also left the game as the player having caught the most balls in consecutive games.
People are stupid. I guarantee Randy Moss will go in on the first ballot. He will have never won a championship and will have made every team he was a part of worse.
