They couldnt stop the cheering...


I flew on the red eye flight to BWI.
Picked up by a great man I had never met before TLC
Given a ride to Canton by another great man LOD.

And met some of the best people in the world. I wouldnt have traded any parts of my liver or voice box for the world.

HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!

No doubt that memory will last a lifetime. I wish I'd found a way to get there myself. Brings a smile to my face just hearing about it :)

That was certainly a burgundy and gold weekend. There may never be another one like it at the HOF for Redskins fans.

I liked how Monk during his induction speech told of how proud he was to be in the company of fellow Hall of Famers. He's a classy guy.

both DG and Monk's sons were great speakers as well as very well mannered young men. A true testimony to their parents.

This time last year, you were kicking my butt all the way down the street.

Thanks to all that were there to celebrate the HOF weekend and my 21st birthday with me.

HAIL!!!

Yeah, it was a great time, except for this one DB named "BigMike" who was there. Other than that, PHENOMENAL weekend!

One of the greatest weekends of my LIFE!!!

Not only did we get to see 2 of the greatest Redskins get inducted into the HOF, but we got to also see our team play in the HOF game.

Being part of the historical 4 minute standing ovation for Art Monk was a moving experience that will most likely never be repeated.

Redskins Nation taking over Canton was awesome.

Everywhere you walked too or drove too around town that weekend you saw nothing but B&G was incredible.

Slacky's Birthday party is one I will soon not forget.

You know the saying.

"What happens in Canton stays in Canton." :biggrin2:

I am very grateful I was present at the HOF festivities last year as well. I also agree with comments regarding the ovation for Art Monk, it was without a doubt one of the most impressive events I have ever seen.

Monk deserved 5 minutes more if you ask me. The guy never complained once even though he was obviously being robbed by not going in. But it was perfect for him to go in with DG. Just perfect..
