Joe Greene, and the Three Who Aren't There

[Shoes]

As Greene’s iconic 75 becomes just the second number retired by the Steelers, here’s a look back at what became of the fabled front four that anchored the Steel Curtain defense of the 1970s—a quartet as dominant as any in history, and as distinctive as their nicknames: Mean Joe, Mad Dog, Hollywood Bags and Fats

I started reading and couldn't finish. Too choked up after reading about Fats' funeral.

That front 4 was what I remember the most. Every guy on our street growing up had their team and their defense's nickname: Purple People Eaters, Doomsday Defense, Fearsome Foursome, etc.

Steel Curtain was the greatest ever. I can watch America's Game: Steelers episodes on repeat, all day.
