The ring’s the thing: Ex-Steeler Randy ‘The Rabbi’ Grossman recalls glory days
By Ron Kaplan · February 3, 2011
WHIPPANY, N.J. (New Jersey Jewish News) -- For ex-Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Randy Grossman, being nicknamed "The Rabbi" was inevitable.

“The fellow who pretty much nicknamed everyone was Dwight White, who recently passed away," Grossman said of the outstanding lineman from the Steel Curtain defense of the 1970s. "He and I were locker neighbors and, yeah, what are you gonna call a white kid from Philadelphia who’s Jewish? Sparky?”

"The Rabbi" would ascend the championship bimah four times in his eight years playing for the Steelers' dynasty. His four Super Bowl rings are the most among any Jewish player.

America's Game 1978 season, had The Rabbi talking on there. He was undersized but did a solid job at TE
