The Steelers have influenced everything I've done as an adult.

My mother was a huge Steelers fan, so they were my team growing up.

I follow the Patriots, but the Steelers were my first and true love. I still have a 'Terrible Towel.'

The people that I was working with made it all good for me - made it important to me - made it special. I will miss everyone in the Steelers organization.

I am a football fan, yeah.

I've been a sports fan forever.

I am a diehard Seahawks fan because I'm born and raised in Seattle.

Winning the Super Bowl was obviously a great one, but the joy I felt of going to the Super Bowl, it was what I felt about the Pittsburgh Steelers and where we came from, the history of us to that point.

As I and the rest of my Pittsburgh Steelers teammates prepared that week in late December 1974, we knew one thing: The road to the Super Bowl in the AFC went through Oakland. To achieve your dreams as a team, you had to slay the Oakland Raiders. They were the barometer of what it took to be a championship team.
