Monk for the Hall: The Web Page

wewantdallas · #1 01-03-2007, 05:09 PM

I hope it's okay that I made a separate thread for this, but I just wanted to make sure that people get this address as being the page to go to for downloading or viewing the Monk for the Hall video.

Just wanted to thank Bandwagon for hosting this and making this page. Most appreciated!

So, here is the link. Feel free to pass this link around to anyone you see fit, and hopefully I'll hear from Shapiro soon and he'll let me know whether he thinks it's okay to either send this link to the HOF voters or send them actual DVDs (which I'd prefer).

Thanks, guys!

i wanted to wait to watch the video until you were 100% complete and i must say, it was well worth the wait. its enough to make you>>>

you did an excellent job of putting together the clips, stats and comments and just watching it makes me even angrier that the guy isnt in the hall yet. i must admit that it was difficult watching him in jet green. amazing job tom, amazing job!.....

That is an AMAZING piece of work. If that doesn't give the voters of the Hall of Fame chills, then I don't know what will.

THANK you.

Speechless (besides these words)

The video is awesome, WWD so don't take this the wrong way... but...

I would have gotten a domain name for this and hosted that single page in a clean white background. Why? Because, to me, hosting it at redskinsdb.com or on pages with a Redskins theme somewhat bolsters the argument that it's mainly Redskin fans who are pushing for Monk to get into the HOF.

Plenty of great domain names are still available for this and the whole setup would be pretty cheap. Here's a few domain names I checked out that are still available:

monk4thehall.com
MonkForHOF.com

and my favorite...

TheCaseForMonk.com

Take it or leave it, I just figured I'd add my totally unwanted 2 cents, lol.

WWD just did that for the enjoyment of Redskins fans, I believe he sent a DVD to Shapiro.

Oh and that was an amazing piece, Tom. I hope you don't mind that I am emailing the link to all my friends and family, that are Redskins fans.

No, BNG, you're absolutely right, I think, and I thought this initially, too. I'm going to talk to Bandwagon tonight and we'll discuss this. I agree with you.

Not at all, Rich, and I appreciate the comments. I don't mind where regular fans view the video. But if I direct HOF voters to a site, I do think it's probably best that it is as clean as possible.

You know, what we need to do is to "OK Go" this thing. We need to email the link to everyone we know. You know, 6 degree of separation and all. I figure, this thing could be all of the Internet by next Tuesday.

Okay, I did as BNG suggested. The new link is above, but here it is again:

http://www.monk4thehall.com

I think this works better, but once again, thanks to Bandwagon for designing the graphic and for initially hosting this thing. He unfortunately has an agreement that dictates the templates he uses with any page he hosts. He's still hosting the vid, though, for which I am MOST appreciative.

As for the e-mail link, I am all for it, but just hold off from too much deluging until I hear from Len Shapiro. He told me that he thinks sometimes e-mail campaigns backfire with these guys, but I think this one would be a lot different, so if I don't hear back from him by the end of the week, I'll just say let's get the link out in a more widespread way.

Stay tuned!

So it's kosher to give this link to other skins fans now?

Looks great!

And I agree with you and Shapiro. I wouldn't advocate emialing these guys directly with the link. But... starting an email with the link that floated around the Internet for a few months would be a pretty cool idea. Who knows, it might even get some time on ESPN if it's successful enough.
