I’ve been a Steelers fan since 1977. I only got to enjoy a few years of the Steelers-Raiders rivalry while Madden was with Oakland; but, those were my favorite years as a football fan. The current version is a poor facsimile.
RIP big guy.
I grew up in the Pittsburgh area, and started following the Steelers as a kid just a few years before you. My dad usually took us to their training camp in Latrobe every summer. There were some great teams, players and coaches back in those days. Nothing like the pampered class we have today.
