The Pro Football Hall of Fame did something different, and it ended up being a fun moment for Bill Cowher.
Cowher, the former Pittsburgh Steelers coach, was told on CBS’s pregame show on Saturday night that he’ll be part of the Hall of Fame’s 2020 class. Cowher won Super Bowl XL with Pittsburgh.
Cowher was talking about Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson with Phil Simms when Pro Football Hall of Fame president David Baker came out and surprised Cowher from behind. Baker is the one who knocks on the hotel door to let new inductees know they’ve been voted in the HOF, and Cowher seemed to realize what was happening.
