    About this ebook

    One of the oldest teams in the NFL, the Pittsburgh Steelers have carved one of the most exciting legacies in professional football. Founded as the Pittsburgh Pirates by Art Rooney in 1933 with winnings from a single day at the racetrack, the Steelers spent the next 40 years as the NFL’s “Lovable Losers.” All that changed in the early ’70s, as savvy draft choices and a smashmouth style of play transformed the Steelers into the most dominant team of the decade.

    In Tales from the Pittsburgh Steelers Sideline, veteran journalist Dale Grdnic captures the essence of the Steelers teams across the decades. Grdnic highlights many of the squad’s most memorable moments, including Franco Harris’s Immaculate Reception and their eight Super Bowl appearances. He covers the team’s greatest rivalries, including the epic battles with the Oakland Raiders and Dallas Cowboys. And he profiles the memorable players who’ve worn the Black and Gold over the decades, including Byron White, Johnny “Blood” McNally, Terry Bradshaw, Lynn Swann, Mean Joe Greene, Jack Lambert, Jerome Bettis, and “Big Ben” Roethlisberger.

    The latest addition to the Tales series, this is a must-have book for any member of Steelers Nation.

      I love reading books about my favorite football team, but this one was kind of disappointing. It started with a bang and ended with a whimper. It started out with the early teams and players and told interesting stories about them before continuing on to the teams I'm most familiar with -- those of the 1970s and beyond. Naturally, there are many stories of the teams and players from the '70s, although not nearly enough. I believe the fourth Super Bowl they won was not mentioned once. What the hell is up with that? Chuck Noll is given is due, and rightly so. Bill Cower is given his due too, and rightly so. But then, as you read on, you realize something. The author is giving you annual draft picks with a sentence or two or three about each thrown in for good measure. By the end of the book, that's all you get. Virtually nothing at all about the three Super Bowls of the 2000s. In fact, I don't remember anything at all about the Super Bowl we won against Seattle. What the hell is up with that??? There are stories about some of the great players in this book -- Earnie Stautner, Mean Joe, Franco Harris, some of the lesser known players from the '70s teams. You would think they'd include stories about Hines Ward, Troy, Ben, etc., as well as some from the '90s like Kevin Greene, who's always a Hall of Fame finalist. So, I enjoyed some of what I read, but a lot of stuff -- a ton of it -- was left out and that's inexcusable. This author just ended up cheating the reader by relating annual draft picks and how they turned out. And that does not a book make. Not recommended.
