Thursday afternoon, mere moments after hearing the news that Steelers owner and chairman Dan Rooney passed away at the age of 84, I arrived home from work to find a UPS package sitting in front of my apartment door.
The package was from frequent BTSC contributor Hombre de Acero and contained many delicious treats as a bit of a “thank you” for the work I do for his wonderful Steelers site, Steel Curtain Rising.
I found it ironic that I received this package from my good friend on the day Mr. Rooney passed away, because if not for him, I doubt very highly I would have ever developed such a passion for the Pittsburgh Steelers that it would one day lead to writing about them and having my opinions on the team read by thousands upon thousands of other fans.
