Outside linebacker Andy Russell once said defensive tackle Joe Greene meant more to the Steelers than any other player during their dynasty of the 1970s.

An honor much deserved by not only the greatest DT to ever play the game, but one of the most honorable human beings I've come across in my lifetime. :thumbsup: Congrats Mean Joe! :drink: :applaudit:

Thank goodness for Joe and also thank goodness for Chuck who knew how to mold Joe. In Joe's own words not to many teams would have put up with his early on field antics. I am glad that Chuck had that foresight and that Joe became the Giant man among men that he is today. Congrats Joe!!!

Actually from the Back Judge's "body language" in that picture, it looks like his ass is badly puckered and he's trying to force himself not to shart his pants. :lol:

When at North Texas St. the coaches would not let him practice at full speed for fear he would hurt someone badly. I had a friend that was in one of his classes. He said that Green would scare the hell out of you, till he started talking to you. A true gentlemen and a nice guy.
