Dan stepping down as Chairman?

Announcing that all players are being dismissed, except Dri Archer, who will play all 11 positions simultaneously on offense and defense?

The Steelers have only retired 2 numbers in the history of the team !!!

Ernie Stautner 70 - Really a great honor for Joe Greene 75

Mean Joe is on the Mount Rushmore to me for Pittsburgh sports.

Him, Mario Lemieux and Roberto Clemente.

There just aren't better players on/off the field then them. I normally wait to place admiration on professional athletes. I honestly don't trust much of the off-field profiles I see on ESPN and others. I wait a LONG time to make sure players are real.

But there is no doubt Green, Lemieux and Clemente were the real deals. And all arguably in the top-20 ever to play in their sports.

We've been pretty blessed to been able to watch all three and say they are only ours.

Congratulations Joe Green!

That is a great start. If they retired all the numbers that should be retired, it would be tough to come up with the required 53.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Absolutely. I'm good with it.

 

[MT~Forged]

So Tomlin didn't get fired?

 

[Ron Burgundy]

TAS is gonna be bummed.

 

[MT~Forged]

TAS is gonna be bummed.

I was really hoping that they were going to announce the firing of Mr. Epps and the Hiring of Russ Grim.

 

[FordFairLane]

Some teams give out these retired numbers like they figure eventually they can start handing out numbers in the three digits. It actually MEANS something when a team like Pittsburgh or Buffalo gives you that honor.
