Another week in the offseason, another trip in my mind's Delorean to the days of yesteryear for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Steelers started out the 1980s in a huge way by winning their fourth Super Bowl to close out the 1979 season. The following years saw the Steel Curtain age as legend after legend said goodbye to Three Rivers Stadium, and the fans of Steeler Nation. Yes, there were a few more division tiles, but no legitimate shot for that elusive “One For The Thumb”. But as the 1980s came to a close, a cast of black-and-gold Cinderellas inexplicably found glass cleats and made their way to Houston to confront their evil step-sisters and get to the ball or, in this case, the Bowl.
