Those Redskin teams won three Super Bowls and gave us the most famous offensive line in NFL history — the Hogs. (The most famous offensive line is kind of like being the most popular dental procedure, but it’s something.) And yet only one player from those teams is in the Hall – John Riggins, the Mohawk-coifed running back whose most memorable accomplishment took place not on the football field but at a White House dinner, where, after imbibing one — or seven — too many libations, Riggins told Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor to “lighten up, Sandy baby.”

The team’s coach, Joe Gibbs is also in the Hall. But no one else.

That’s just wrong. A team wins three Super Bowls, it has some great players on it. And none were greater than Green, who retired with 54 interceptions and is on the NFL All-1990s team, and Monk.

Russ Grimm, one of the Hogs, is also up for selection this year, but it would be asking too much to have all three ‘Skins go in together. It’s possible that the voters will decide to overlook Green, too, if only because it’s his first year of eligibility. It would be hard to imagine, but stranger things have happened.

Most important is that Art Monk, who retired as the most prolific receiver ever, take his place in the shrine where he belongs. He’s waited eight years, which is eight too many. Elect him, folks. Now.
