PITTSBURGH, Pa. -- Rocky Bleier isn't sure how his valiant story -- from Purple Heart honoree in the Vietnam War to four-time Super Bowl winner with the Pittsburgh Steelers -- would have played out had it happened this decade.
More media coverage, he figures. More opinions about the merits of war, thanks to social media.
And maybe even a Hollywood mega-star eager to portray him. "I probably could have gotten Dwayne Johnson to play me in a real movie," Bleier joked.
But Bleier wouldn't change a thing about a script he's still writing.
On a lazy Sunday in August 2019, Bleier is looking energized.
