Keyshawn has hung up the spikes

Keyshawn Johnson has retired and will accept a job as an ESPN analyst.

Nice career for Keyshawn.

Maybe this is a silly question: Is he a hall-of-famer or even in the running?

Re: Keyshawn has hung up the spikes

Art Monk was also a team player. Keyshawn is as selfish as they come.

I appreciate the heads-up. I won't be watching.

I don't think any WR other then Rice should get in if Monk isn't in.

As an admittedly biased 'Skins fan, I couldn't agree more. I really don't understand it. He's got the rings - 3 of 'em, though he was injured during one of their Super Bowl wins - and at the time he retired, he held the record for most receptions in a career. He also at one time held the record for receptions in a season. Oh, and he actually blocked too.

It makes me ill that Michael Irvin got in the Hall before Monk.

Not a chance.

By the way, Keyshawn: What happened to all those 3-5 contract offers that were supposed to be rolling in to you during the last month or so????

Re: Keyshawn has hung up the spikes

Keyshawn might be the most over-rated receiver in the history of the NFL. He was never that great. Average, that's how I'd describe Keyshawn.

Re: Keyshawn has hung up the spikes

Any receiver worth his salt goes across the middle when the team needs a big play.

That doesn't mean that you have to legally change your name to remind everybody that you go across the middle.

Keyshawn has become a cartoon character ever since he left Tampa Bay.

Re: Keyshawn has hung up the spikes

He was a joke the minute he took off his helmet after 1 TD ...his first...in NY....and acting like a complete fool....and yet people thought that was cool...so they had to put a rule against taking off your helmet.

He was a good No. 2 WR....that was at best. Way over hyped...but he was at least good at that.

Re: Keyshawn has hung up the spikes

With Chris Henry suspended for 8 games, Keyshawn would look like a nice option for a #3 receiver for the Bengals....

I'm just sayin...
