Former Minnesota Vikings edge rusher Jared Allen finally took his rightful place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Friday night when he was officially enshrined in Canton, Ohio. It's been a long time coming for Allen, as he was a five-time finalist before finally getting the call from Steve Hutchinson.

The induction ceremony is a great celebration for not just the player who is getting enshrined, but also for everyone who supported them throughout their career. One thing that inductees often do when they finish their speech is one final celebration that they did during their playing days.

Well, Allen decided to do his famous calf roping celebration one last time before leaving the stage. It was a great moment, but there was just one problem: he ripped his pants.

Yes, you saw it. Allen ripped the inside of his pants on the right thigh as he did his celebration. Anyone who's gone hard on the dance floor at a wedding has had this happen to them, but it's no less embarrassing.

Allen will remember this night for a multitude of reasons, and this memory with his family there will be a core one for years to come.
