A former NFL pro’s attempt to revive his old sack celebration resulted in an unfortunate but hilarious wardrobe malfunction.
Vikings legend Jared Allen joined the likes of Sterling Sharpe, Eric Allen, and Antonio Gates on Saturday to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Upon receiving his gold jacket, Allen wanted to revisit his glory days with his notorious sack celebration, but underestimated how unforgiving his suit pants were.

Once he stood up from his signature move, he noticed a pretty significant tear in the back of his pants that extended to the back of his knee.
But it wasn’t just this moment that caught attention. Allen’s HOF speech was not only a tribute to his incredibly successful career, but also to his family and the love he has for his wife and children.

His love for Jesus and his family was evident as he spoke.
“The two most important decisions you’ll make in life is one, whether you follow Jesus or not and two is who you marry. Because there’s only two types of people. There’s boat anchors who drag you down, and there’s people who elevate you. And you are a true game elevator,” Allen said, talking directly to his wife. “You’re one of the smartest people I know. I’m in awe of you every single day, I love you more than life itself.”
“To my amazing daughters,” he continued, wiping tears as the audience cheered. “Through this process, the word legacy has been talked about a lot. The Hall often says they’re here to tell my story, well I’m here to tell you two, you are my greatest accomplishment. When I get called home to heaven one day, if all they talk about is this gold jacket, my career, then I failed miserably as a father, a husband and a friend. You two are my legacy. You are both so talented, and I cannot wait to see what you decide to do, and to conquer this world.”
