On January 12, 1975, Terry Bradshaw helped lead the Pittsburgh Steelers to their first of four 1970s Super Bowl titles. That was for the ’74 season, and they won again for ’75, ’78, and ’79. Fifty years and three months later, many of those who remain, and numerous others, gathered in part to honor that landmark event.
Bradshaw and many of his teammates participated in Mel Blount’s charity celebrity roast on Saturday. Not before he played some heroics on his flight over, of course, a tale that he already fitfully, playfully mythologized. While there, he recalled the Steelers’ first Super Bowl win—and his favorite moment, which didn’t come on the field.
