He won't let it go. Let it go John. They were never going to call that pass incomplete in Pittsburgh.

Steelers should have beaten Miami the next week too, Pitt could have very easily won 6 SB in 7 years in the 1970's

Yes, I was at that game and Miami faked a punt and ran 40 yards and it looked like the Steeler were running interference for the Miami kicker. I will never forget it. But the Immaculate was the best. I was there and never saw it. I started to leave as the ball was being knocked in the air. Mr. Rooney and me have something in common. We were both at the game and never saw it. He was in the elevator to go to the dressing room.

that's right , the fake punt, what BS...

Waco that is a very cool memory, damn shame you missed it....good times !

Do you have any recollection of the Pitt/Baltimore playoff game where the Steelers went up top to Frank Lewis on the first drive and throttled a pretty good Colts team in Baltimore, and what crazy event happened after the game?

That was crazy seeing that plane in the upper deck after the game. I will never forget that.

I know I watched many baseball games from that very seating area before and after that....

They said had Pittsburgh not destroyed the Colts that afternoon the crowd would have still been there, as the crash was shortly after the game had ended.

A different view of that area behind homeplate in the upper deck where that plane crashed, not much room as you can see...the pilot was very lucky.
