These anniversary posts bring back incredible memories of watching the @ProFootballHOF Enshrinement each year growing up in Canton. From standing on Harrison Ave., sitting on Fawcett Stadium wall to sitting in Tom Benson Stadium…valuable lessons learned from the speeches.

Cheers @riggo44 !
I want everyone to know my deep sense of gratitude to Josh Harris and the entire Burgundy and Gold organization for this honor.  But this recognition is not for me alone.  It should be shared with my forever teammates, coaches, and ultimately YOU, the fans. You and I are forever tied to 44 You gave me breath I gave you heart. And I hope more laughs than tears. ~ Riggo

Rod sneakily built in a 35 pound cinderblock lift into the Canes offseason workouts, called it “Blue Collar Presses”, and the boys never thought anything of it… Turns out he was having them practice lifting the Cup all season long 🤯🔥 (via @Canes)
