Wow - that pic pretty much screams "1970s." I wonder if the cupboard in the background was avocado or orange? :chuckle:

May he Rest in Peace. Steeler Nation getting hit hard. Verne Troyer, a big fan, and Bennie Cunningham a former player.

RIP Bennie Cunningham

Me too......I was lucky enough to be at that game, sitting in the end zone section where Bennie scored. Three Rivers went crazy.

I remember the excitement Steelers Nation had at that time when Bennie was drafted.

"We finally have a TE that can be a real weapon to complement Swann and Stallworth and replace the "serviceable" Randy Grossman.

Not a dig at Randy by any means. For a guy with "limited natural talent," he was a key contributor.
