It’s been 14 years since the Pittsburgh Steelers played in the Super Bowl. That game did not end well for them, though, losing 31-25 to the Green Bay Packers. It’s an unfortunate ugly ending to a Steelers team that was dominant in the 2000s. Casey Hampton was one of the players who retired only a few years after that loss, meaning it was his last real chance at capturing another championship. According to Joey Porter Sr., it sounds like that loss really ate at Hampton.
“All my boys, when I was with the Steelers, that lost to Green Bay, Casey Hampton, he called me, he’s like, ‘Joey, I’ve never cried like that before after anything,'” Porter said recently on Stacking the Box: FanSided’s NFL podcast.
