Lady Steel

This goes back to a cold, ugly day in December 2011. Earlier that month, Brett Keisel was selected as the Steelers’ nominee for the NFL’s Walter Payton Man of the Year award. It is the league’s best award because it goes to the player who combines on-field excellence with off-field, tireless charity work. Franco Harris, Joe Greene, Lynn Swann and Jerome Bettis are among the previous winners.
“Man, those guys are living legends,” Keisel said in an hourlong interview. “I’m just a bearded guy from Wyoming.”
Don’t you just love the man’s humility?
Sure, Keisel, who was released Monday by the Steelers after 13 superb seasons, long will be remembered because of “Da Beard,” as he calls it. “It’s powerful. It has magical powers. I truly believe I have the best beard of all time.”
OK, so maybe Keisel isn’t always quite so humble.
I’m sure you won’t hold that against him.
