What a fantastic show. I was 5 in 1974 in Southern California. We didnt get many Steelers games on local tv. Watching highlights on nfl today. Bradshaw was my 1st favorite player. i became a huge Steelers fan as the 80s approached as i began to understand the rules. 1980 Super Bowl is the 1st game i still remember today. This was way before cband for me to afford it (not until 1988 on a installment plan) and then later Sunday Ticket of course. All 5 were my favorites but Stallworth was my absolute favorite. Who was the lady in the Lambert piece? Grandmother? I like the film storyline too and not giving up the tape. Fantastic video. Nice job, Bob
Jack in the Steelers had a falling out about 20 years ago over "compensation". He said he would show up at Heinz Field during the 2004 Eagles game when they were honoring the 1979 team, and he no-showed. So from my understanding the team has stopped reaching out. Two things he has done however is that he went to Mike Webster's funeral and sat in the back where nobody noticed him, and he also met with Marianne Noll the morning of Chuck's funeral.
Jimmy Allen was no slouch either he was a good reserved defensive back but the secondary was loaded back then that they even lost Dave Brown to the expansion Seattle Seahawks and he should be in the Hall of Fame and he's not. Allen later went to Detroit and move to safety, and he was solid there until he got hurt and retired.
One thing that wasn't brought up was that the Cowboys were right behind the Steelers in the first round and they were set to take Swann. Had they done so, the Cowboys could've won one of those Super Bowl matches against the Steelers and there would be a debate on who the team of the 70's were.
The best Draft class in toto, but the course of Steelers history had turned with Knoll, Greene, LC, Ham, Brad and Franco. Those guys were going to win regardless, '74 just iced the four cakes.

Nice job, Bob
Wow, that was great
I wish Jack Lambert would participate in these kind of things and team recognition at games

Bob, you're the best!

Chuck. Noll. Was. An. Awesome. Judge. Of. Talent

Knoll didn't tolerate clowns like how Tomlin does
Without a third round pick.
Lambert. Was. The. Ray. Nitscke. Of the. 70s
