Since its thanksgiving, what are you most thankful for?

In terms of Steeler football? Maybe a coach, a player that changed the landscape, a certain game, blessings in disquise(like a playeryou are glad we did not get) a specific year, decade, team, etc? You get the idea.

I for one am thankful for Bill Cowher and his era. We had 10-12 dreadful years before he came in and righted the ship. His years and now Tomlins years have been a fun ride. Thats Just an example.


What say you?

 

I'm thankful for the 90's not the 1990's but that group of players that wore Black and gold and made the Steelers something to be feared once again. 95 Greg Llyod, 91 Kevin Greene, 99 Levon Kirkland, 94 Chad Brown, 92 Jason Gildon, 97 Kendrell Bell, 91 Aaron Smith, 92 James Harrison now there are some players that would make the 50's proud, Ham, Russell, and Lambert.

 

i'm thankful TTF made this site.


i'm thankful to all our service members past and present. i know alot of you won't be spending it with your loved ones so we can. i for one will be thinking about you all. thank you.

i'm thankful for being able to watch these guys play good and bad for many, many,many years. there were never bad steeler players, just some better than others.



Happy Thanksgiving everyone by the way.

 

Russell wore #34.

 

I am honestly thankful for Kordell Stewart because as a kid I thought he was super cool and that's what made me a Steelers fan. I also am thankful for a message board family with really cool Steeler fans to chat with all the time.

 

I LOVED Kevin Greene! Man I really loved him. He's one of the most colorful guys we've ever had. I really hope he gets in the Hall someday. I really wouldn't mind having him here as a LB coach someday.

 

My wife, when she is not beating me

 

I'm thankful i no longer have to go outside in the cold to turn the antenna as my father would sit in his recliner yelling which way to turn the pole to reach a nearby broadcast station to watch football. Cable is definitely God sent and an answered prayer lol. I'm thankful the Steelers are now in position to make a playoff run where a few weeks ago looked very dismal. Wishing all a blessed Thanksgiving and a Steeler victory!

 

Brings back so many memories, the only channels we got
2,4,and 11 sometimes 53 and sometimes channel 6 out of Johnstown. The old rotor
antenna.I think Knab and Mac pretty much sum up my feelings. And of course the GREATEST FRANCHISE on the PLANET. THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS!

 

LOL knab. i remember those days. the rabbit ears, the outside huge antenna's, even tinfoil was used. LOL the big black and white consol TV's. if ya had money you had one of those big dials that sat on the TV and turned the antenna. LOL

 

In terms of Steelers football I am just thankful for the ROONEYS.

 

Wife Surviving heart attack in June age 53 great shape non smoker go figure. Luckily she works at a major hospital
(had the attack while at work)

 

Im thankful for the best franchise in all of pro sports...The Pittsburgh Steelers!! There is none better!

 

good luck to you and your wife. hope she comes out fine.

 

These!

 

Yup i remember before leaving home dad bought that rotor box that sit on the RCA . He had me program it was really hi- tech lol. had a knob you turned to wind it up and it started clicking (rotating) the antenna then when a station came clear you would place a number label on box to match the channels on tv. Just stood over the tv put it on the channel and watch that dog hunt. Wow Mac and 86WW we our sharing our age playing with these toys! (Alittle off the topic but people who can relate knows why were thankful for modern day tech.)

 

Glad your wife is ok now.

 

i was laughing with my parents yesterday about Christmas' past. ralphie didn't have anything on us, we had the same fathers. LOL

 

FRA GEE LAY

 

I am thankful that as a kid I got the Bradshaw jersey and my brother got the Cowboys! (man that would have sucked to have it the other way around)
P.S. Happy thanksgiving everyone! Be safe this holiday season and go Steelers!

 

I slept in this morning and when I woke up the heater was working and now I am about to go to the store to pick up a late breakfast. A lot of people can't even do that so I realize how fortunate I am.

On a Steelers note, I'm thankful that I was born in 1968 and grew up watching those dominating 70's teams. Back then, there was no ESPN or TMZ and the players were like royalty to the fans. It was an awesome time to be a Steelers fan.

 

Mac I thought back you in your day you guys had to walk uphill both ways barefooted in the snow to get to the game and the only rabbit ears that existed were the actual ears of rabbits. LOL.
