Today’s a very special day for two men, Joe Gordon and Tony Parisi. Both are being honored by the Pro Football Hall of Fame as part of Canton’s first ever “Awards of Excellence” in a ceremony that kicked off at noon today.
According to the Hall’s website, the new award is dedicated to “recognize individuals from four groups who work to drive team success within the sport: assistant coaches, athletic trainers, equipment managers and public relations personnel.”
The site also says the people honored today will be featured in the Hall’s museum, preserving their names in football immortality.
