I don't know what this means, but it involves Bob Brooks

Monday, Tony Dungy came to Cedar Rapids.
After Dungy spoke to reporters for about 20 minutes, Cedar Rapids sportscasting icon Bob Brooks asked Dungy, the former Indianapolis Colts head coach, how Colts offensive coordinator Tom Moore was doing.
Moore played quarterback at Iowa from 1957 to 1960 and was a Hawkeyes assistant coach at Iowa in 1961-62.
Brooks gave Dungy his business card, I believe, to forward to Moore the next time Dungy saw Moore. Brooksie knows Moore. Brooksie knows everyone.
Thursday, Moore filed retirement papers with the NFL.
Moore is 70. Brooks, a 1948 Iowa graduate, continues working. He dropped by Veterans Memorial Stadium for the first part of a Cedar Rapids Kernels doubleheader Thursday before driving across town to attend Iowa State's "Tailgate Tour" stop at Lindale Mall.
In case you aren't one of the thousands and thousands of people who have found this out first-hand over the years, trust me on this: Bob is a great guy.
