What a list! (And some that should be wearing gold jackets, eventually too!)

Breaking News:
Outrage over the Morgan Wallen show cancellation!
Acrisure stadium officials fuming.
Sources confirm…
Wallen left town on plane before they even had meeting and demanded they announce the cancellation after he was in the air.

[Dom DiTommaso @DomDiTommaso]

So Morgan Wallen canceled his show last night while he was already on a flight out of Pittsburgh, citing a spotty weather report that turned out to be wrong, with no official announcement from Acrisure Stadium (whose officials are apparently furious over this)? Something's off.

Oopsie!

DraftKings posted this, with the Steelers first preseason opponent (Packers) listed...

In reality, the Steelers first "playoff test" comes in Week 2 of the regular season, when they visit the New England Patriots

@manteQuilla404 @steelcityundrgr The article is really about how Bill Nunn recognized the value to HBCUs - thus, the "French Connection" - and was able to find stars that resurrected a Steelers franchise that Art Rooney was on the verge of either having to sell (after using his own money) or move on.

[Christina Rivers @3Rivers_Writer]

As a couple people noted, I did not include some of the winning seasons in the 1950s and 60s. I apologize. The point was that the "French Connection" through Bill Nunn and HBCUs saved a Steelers franchise that was in dire straits financially and competitively. Ask the Rooneys

[𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 @steelcityundrgr]

In the late 1960s, the Pittsburgh Steelers were a franchise on life support. Decades of futility had left them as one of the NFL's laughingstocks, with only one winning season since 1939: the redemption season of 1947.

Attendance was dismal, an outdated stadium served as home, and owner Art Rooney Sr. was quietly pouring his personal fortune, often earned from racetrack winnings, into keeping the team alive. Rumors swirled of relocation or even folding altogether.

Few could have predicted this rock-bottom era would plant the seeds for one of professional sports' greatest dynasties.

We look back at that period in Steelers history and the moment the franchise nearly disappeared.

@manteQuilla404 @steelcityundrgr Yes, they did. The error was mine in not including those barely winning seasons. As for the remainder of the article, most of the info came from Art Rooney, Jr's book on the family. You made me realize I should add more details, thank you.

We break down Pittsburgh’s recent contract extensions for Chris Boswell, Nick Herbig, and Darnell Washington and ask the big question: is Khan cooking or taking unnecessary risks?

DJ Johnson’s fashion is definitely right out of the 80’s and I’m here for it.

He maintains his style even in the post-game locker room after the ‘92 playoff loss.

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

The Bears’ Board of Directors voted Thursday to advance the stadium development in Hammond, Indiana, with the exact to be selected. This is this first time that the Bears’ board has voted on any stadium site.

As one source said, “There is more work to do but barring anything very strange, it’s a done deal.”
