Thirty years ago this week, the Steelers (http://triblive.com/sports/steelers/) realized nothing lasts forever.

Bradshaw blew out his elbow playing in his only game of the season a few weeks earlier and would retire, as would Blount. Harris played a few more games with Seattle the following season before retiring.

The Steelers reached the playoffs the next season, but their dynasty of the 1970s was long over. They reached the postseason only once more in the next seven seasons before Chuck Noll gave way to Bill Cowher in 1992.........

The Steelers haven't been "aging" for the last couple seasons now. There are only a few players left who are older than the league norm. This guy needs a new meme.

I couldn't be more tired of the lay reporting that goes with the "old and slow" BS. This team has been getting younger for the last 2 seasons, are there still some vets absolutely, but here are many many young guys, rookies out there competing.
