It’s hard to think of many all-time Pittsburgh sports greats who left the city on uglier terms than Steelers receiver Antonio Brown did when he was traded to the Raiders.
I won’t rehash the past few months, but you know the things the man did on his way out of town, things that were the very definition of burning your bridges.
When it comes to all-time Pittsburgh sports heroes who left a permanent stain on their legacy, again, the list is small. The Penguins Jaromir Jagr might be one. You could make a case for Terry Bradshaw and his on-again, off-again feud with the Steelers and, by extension, the fans who didn’t exactly appreciate the time it took the Blond Bomber to reach his full potential as a quarterback in the early-to-mid-70s.
