Andy Reid helped lead the Kansas City Chiefs to their first-ever Super Bowl, earlier this year. After going down early, the Chiefs mounted a comeback against the San Francisco 49ers and eventually won the game 31-20. Reid was able to pick up his very first Super Bowl and will forever be cemented in history as one of the best coaches ever. With this in mind, there should be no question that Reid will eventually make his way into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
For now, though, Reid will have to be content with another Hall of Fame honor. Earlier this week, it was revealed that Reid's outfit from Super Bowl 54 would be on display at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Everything from his hat, shirt, and even shoes. Funny enough, Reid wore a pair of Black Air Force 1s with red highlights on the back.
If you're not in on the joke here, Black Air Force's have become a huge internet meme and are typically associated with robberies, drug dealing, scamming, and any other crime you can think of. Coming back from ten points down in a Super Bowl to win by 11 is definitely some Black Air Force energy if we've ever seen it. To be honest, it just feels good to say Black Air Force 1s are heading to the Hall of Fame.
We wonder if Reid will get another pair for next season. If so, the whole league needs to watch out.
Bill Cowher Elected Into Pro Football’s Hall Of Fame
Congrats to Bill Cowher, who was selected into Pro Football's Hall of Fame.
It appears Bill Cowher is heading into the Hall of Fame. The former Pittsburgh Steelers coach was just named into the Pro Football Hall of Fame's centennial class on Saturday, when President David Baker informed Cowher of his selection live on air during CBS’ NFL Today program before the Titans & Ravens game.
“Football is a total team sport,” Cowher said while fighting back tears. “I had some great players, some great coaches, the best organization in football. I’ve lived a blessed life. I’ve come to the best network on TV. It’s a family here, like it was a family that we had there. And to have to give back just something to the game of football, that’s been a part of my life, the virtues that it teaches you, the morals that you have the obligation to move on, the platforms that we have, you know, I’m a blessed man and I’ve been very blessed to have been surrounded by some very special people.”
Cowher, a Crafton, PA native who went to Carlynton High School, won one Super Bowl, won eight division titles and made the playoffs in 10 of his 15 years with the Steelers.
"Just thinking about the Pittsburgh franchise and Dan Rooney when he hired me," Cowher added, before joking, "My first goal was just not to get fired before my 20th high school reunion.’’
The centennial class was selected by a blue ribbon panel this past week. The remainder of the 15-member class of enshrinees will be revealed Wednesday morning.
Congrats to Bill Cowher on the election.
