Romero talking about the 70s Steelers on NFL Network now.
 
Love the 70s STEELERS !!!!! That was a special era of football. I remember not wondering if the Steelers were going to win but more like who are they going to beat next??? I took for granted wins. Those teams of the 70s rocked and NOT by cheating either.




Salute the nation
 
It's funny, but in those years some of the games I remember most were the few they lost. I'm still not over the '76 AFCC. I remember when they lost in '77 to Cincinnati late in the year out there and had a temper tantrum and knocked the Christmas tree over, well knocked it to a major lean. My Mom had these teardrop type ornaments, typical '70s ugly, and I still remember seeing them touching the floor thinking "I am about to be killed." My Dad wasn't around that day for some reason, or I might have been. In '79 they lost big to Cincy and San Diego and still won the SB. Maybe because it was such a shock when they lost it sticks with me.
 
Disappointing to me to say the least. Not a fan of zombie movies. Very little football content.

yeah I use to have some significant temper tantrums, weaned over the years. Throwing ****, stomping around. Oh those were the days lulz. GF still tells me to calm down here and there, but I am nowhere as bad as I once was...

Yeah not a watch if you aren't a zombie fan. But I did like the Monroeville mall references as it was kind of cool to know a significant movie was shot there. Had some Franco and Mean Joe commentary.Bradshaw commentary....... Not a lot but yeah you had to be a zombie fan probably to watch.

This post is useless without pictures.

The last significant one I had was in 2003 when they played the Titans in the playoffs and that ******' kicker did that little spin after being grazed and they gave him another chance to win the game. I just lost my ****. The porch furniture went into the sidewalk and street as well as the kids sleds. Neighbors lights were going on all over the place.

It was at that point that I thought, "You dumbass, here you are almost 40 still acting like an idiot, you gotta knock this **** off."

Them winning a few Super Bowls really helped, I will say that. Me getting a cancer scare also helped to realize that it just isn't that important. But I am pretty calm now, limiting it to a few swear words here and there.
 
Saw the last half...

Shots of the Monroeville Mall back in the day brought back a ton of good memories..

Not to mention the 70's Steeler stuff lol..
