Hey Joe, how do you feel about being elected to the Hall of Fame? "It is humbling..." I think that is in the pro athlete handbook to make you sound less elitist.

Anyway Moss certainly comes across as a good ordinary guy. Can't believe I said earlier his empty net miss was against Chicago - it was Detroit of course.

A guy might look around at the company he is part of and realize how much more talented they all are and/or how much more they work for it. That would be humbling. ...but yeah, honored is probably a better word.
