Growler
A very astute assessment. I come from Pittsburgh originally but it was decades ago, long before Terry Bradshaw and Mean Joe Greene. During World War II, the Steelers and Eagles had to combine just to have enough people to put on the field in 1943. They were called the Steagles and they played in both cities. Jack Hinkle and LeRoy Zimmerman and Tony Bova and Ted Doyle and, well, many more. The next year, 1944, the Steelers and Cardinals teamed up and called themselves the Card-Pitts and lost ten straight. My book is called "The War, the Steagles and the Card-Pitts and is available on the internet.
