Steelers, cont. ....

who can forget Franco Harris' "Immaculate Reception" vs the Raiders that sent the Steelers to the SB. They even have a monument to it!



Bradshaw wasnt considered one of the premier QBs in his day, but he got the job done and was a winner.



Troy Polamalu, what a great draft pick he was out of USC, and he blossomed into such a dominant DB.

Pittsburg, my life long team, just about everyone I can remember is in the HOF! Will never forget
Lambert when asked what he thought about the new QB rules, make them wear dresses so I know not to hit them! When football was football.

This was not a sight that you wanted to see if you were on defense, Earl Campbell in the open and comin right at you at full speed.

Miss this guy callin a game. Greatness "Booommm!"

One of the all time great RBs, never complained about his team and weak OLine, and never show-boated in the end zone or showed off and/or bragged about how great he was. He was a class act and put some of the greatest highlight runs on film in NFL history. If you dont know his name, then you really dont know football.



In the last pic on the right, look at how his legs could go to that much of an angle to his torso.

Was just thinking about all the great players, especially ones that I have not posted in this thread yet. WRs? How about the one that has the award for best College WR of the season each year? For you oldtimers here, brings back some memories watchin the Raiders back when, doesnt it?

Yes, so many memories, even the places and fields played on, so much I have forgot, sadly!
