Football.
It's mean. It's tough It's rugged.
And when the biggest, baddest of them all find out they've been forever enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, they (and everyone else) melt into puddles.
Grab some kleenex, rub that dust out of your eyes and watch the moment the news hit some of the all-time greats Saturday afternoon - including an extended look at Randy Moss' moment.
Grab a tissue.

Watertown-Mayer ends three-year football losing streak in convincing way
Not only did the team break the streak, it happened against an opponent that had a winning record this season and beaten the Royals soundly over the last two seasons.
Gophers

Take your mind off Gophers' horrid ending with this miraculous (almost) score
The jaw-dropping play included eight laterals and 55 yards. It was so good we think you can overlook the fact that it didn't count. (Lateral No. 4 is the best.)

Gophers bowl projections? They're already being made
We're going to bet that you haven't been thinking yet about a Gophers bowl game destination and opponent. But other people have.
