Over the course of the offseason, during the dead time leading up to training camp, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been hosting an interview series on their website that they are billing as the Legends Series, during which they have been interviewing players that they regard as legends in the team’s history.
As I watch these, I can’t help but be struck by how frequently these players—the vast majority of them are inevitably going to be from the 1970s dynasty years—talk about growing up as a person while playing in Pittsburgh, how they learned to treat one another, and things of that nature.
