Bradshaw's last stand

The Blonde Boomer was a hero to many growing up. Without the "internet" age a lot of details weren't available other than Pittsburgh and that area. I always was reading the papers / late sports / ect. for anything STEELERS. Getting the scores were easy but it was the insight that never made national news, that ws hard to get.

I was a "SUPER STEELERS" fan through and through. I watched the before Terry's day as well.

yeah it was hell trying to find any news other than highlights of the game during Monday night football

I would read the sports page every day searching for news on the Steelers....not much was printed in the Houston papers, but I read it all
 
Even as a kid, I was a defense guy. Lambert was it for me. But when Bradshaw took the field, there was an excitement in his play that I can still remember.

Like him over Franco, Swann, Stallworth. I recall my Uncle game in and game out saying without Bradshaw, those guys are nothing. I believed it then. know days I think Franco would have been just fine, but the receivers would not be in the HOF without Bradshaw.
 
I too was a defensive guy. Lampert / Ham / The front four / that entire 70's defense !!!! I liked Bradshaw and the "O" but the "D" was the special part for me.

Great good O'l days !

PS

Joe Greene was a hero for me too, his CoCa Cola comercial was and is the GREATEST SB commercial ever. I saw that commercial and would actually dream it was me and Joe was my friend.

It wasn't a question of if they could but but more of a expectation that they would win. Cowher's teams had that sense to a degree. Tomlin started out slightly but as players left that feeling has left as well and hasn't been present in quite some time.

Some here will remember exactly what I am talking about and won't be able to nothing but get a warm smile and a "yes" head nod.
