Growing up in southwestern pennsylvania in the 70's it would be tough to pick from any of the Steelers from back then: Bradshaw, Harris, Stallworth, Swann, Lambert, Ham, Greene........

This is a really scary thread


I will be the first to admit, you can have a good day trying to be your favorite athlete. You can also have a bad one. This is not some care free thing, I think a lot of us took it serious. "I know I can be a better Neiman than that."

We were all good kids just trying to be our favortie athlete now we are degenerate sports bettors. What the hell went wrong here.

I can't believe Journeymn was'nt the topic starter for this thread. I just can't. The outcome of USC/ND will pale in comparison.
