It's here! Steelers-Bills!!!!!

Dang, @jeh1856 I didn't realize you went all the way back to the first post of this thread. Now I am tired.

 

Thanks MT. Good stuff.

 

Oh no, my initials are the same as some other famous MT.

 

Yahoo we are in the 30's!!!!!!! When #30 comes up I'm starting my Prediction Poll which I'm so looking forward to see how people think we will do.

 

but can you lead men like him?????

 

Ed Bradley

Sidney Thorton

Earl Gros

Tim Worley

Jon Witman

Jaylen Samuels

 

I had completely forgotten about Earl Gros. He was the Steelers FB in the late 1960's. That is what is so great about this countdown. What a great trip down memory lane for all of us, especially the old-timers.

 

You're right. Big shoes to fill.

 

Dude. How fun would that be.
I want one.

 

Followed by Craig Breedlove's Spirit of America and Gary Gabelich's Blue Flame. Check out the movie with Anthony Hopkins called "Indian" or "The Indian" which is about an older Aussie dude who wanted to set the land speed record at Bonneville with his beefed up classic Indian motorcycle. True story as I recall.

 

Was that the bike McQueen rode in The Great Escape???? The Indian one.

 

You guys are taking this thread all over the place, which is pretty cool. But somebody was sleeping at the wheel. There should have been Super 40 and 43 pictures. Somebody needs to be fired!

 

I shall. Thanks for letting me know

 

That was a Triumph Scrambler.

EDIT: oops, it was a Triumph but not the Scrambler. I was confused by the special edition.

 

So today is Carnell Lake day.

 

Carnell Lake

Chuck Beatty



Jordan Dangerfield

 

Jerome "the Bus" Bettis HOF

 

My family called him the same thing. When he would make a play the female members would say "Carmell is so sweet and chewy".

Just dawned on me you may have hit the M by mistake. Anyway he was called caramel among the females of our group.

 

BUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man do I miss that guy!!!! He was a hell of a lot of fun. To me he was sort of a throwback to the 70 Steelers.

 

I didnt even notice.

Either my phone auto corrected me, or it was a case of fat fingers.

Lake is one of my favorite all time players. I remember one time a buddy of mine and myself had a few hour long discussion about who was the better safety. He or Troy. It wasn't a debate. We were honestly trying to figure it out. Your first instinct is to say Troy. But when you think about, Carnell Lake was so freaking good. It's really close. Lake will never make the Hall of Fame. But he should probably get more consideration than he does.

 

I know Brian Urlacher will never forget him. The Bus took him on a 7 yard ride into the endzone.

 

John Henry Johnson

Dan Kreider

 

JHJ one of my first Steeler hero's. I was pretty much all Pirates as a youngster as were most the neighborhood kids but JHJ started getting talked about and the Steelers became relevant to us.

5 days till Steeler Prediction Poll time!!

 

carnell was a good guy. loved him too. we had a group of us sitting at a table in an eat and park after a game and i had my black and gold brigade hat on at the time. he and his girl at the time got up and he walked over to the table and asked if i was from cali and i told him no but my friend was at the time the president of that club out there. he asked us how we enjoyed the game and ended up talking to us for about 20 minutes. my family was friends of dwight stone and we met carnell through him also and he remembered us. it got to be a pretty good friendship over the years after the games. he was a super nice guy and very genuine.

 

Freaking Name Dropper.
LoL.
Just playing
Sounds super cool.
