Steeler memorabilia

[Kodiak]

OK, should be fun. Find an auction somewhere and post a picture. I suppose we can open this up to all Pittsburgh sports. Try to be a little more creative than a generic card or jersey. I'm not promoting anything, just including the link in case someone sees something they might want to bid on.

Looking for a signed Weegie Thompson jersey to complete my 1987 Steelers team memorabilia collection.

Meh, you can find anything online. Here's some personal stuff behind my bar at home.

I was lucky enough to attend a Penguins practice in 1995. Got to say hi to several players as they came in, and got loads of autographs. Jaromir Jagr and Ron Francis were the highlights. Jagr never said a word to me, but Ron Francis was cool as hell, and is still my all time favorite player.

While watching practice, Craig Patrick handed me the puck seen in the picture. I nabbed Marty Straka as he was walking off the ice and had him sign it. He was traded to Ottawa the next day.

As far as memorabilia goes, I'm aware this is nothing special, but I like sharing the story

I have a sealed, untouched and mint Giant Eagle Bus Full of Potato Salad. Any takers? The color of the potato salad is no longer original.

I have a signed Troy Loney puck that I have been trying to give away for years. No takers.

I have a bunch of signed pucks ranging from Crosby/ Malkin to Bryan Trottier which is my prized puck. Also, a signed Malkin authentic jersey that I found in my bag from the online charity sale the Pens run every Spring. That was a great moment for me but it was only a Medium and no way could I fit in it.

Before Ben I was a huge Slash fan.
Sorry for the huge size. I'm still working on sizing issues.

No realistic rendering of that thing on Kordell's face? I had a cousin who referred to it as "the mole that almost ate Sam Nover."

Oh dear gawd!

I seem to recall a poster from the old “Stillers” board with the screen name “That Thing On Kordell’s Face”.

I think it was a cheap knock off but it was a gift that I kept. I wish the Steelers would bring back some more creative plays.

September 16, 2001 was supposed to have been opening day for Heinz Field.

I was lucky enough to score a Matt Cullen jersey last Spring, but I have the exact opposite problem - mine is an XL.

It's now in a frame next to the TV.

I sportslove that moment and the '76 season. The 2 time champs had awoke and come back from what many considered dead early that season with a 1-4 start and were on a very serious march towards a 3 peat, only the greatness of our toughest opponent during that NFL stretch (not the Cowboys) along with the physical, mental ,and emotional letdown of losing Franco and Rocky during our annihilation of the Colts in the divisional stopped us.

I was so hungry for greatness at the QB position again. I loved Kordell in his slash role and early in his career seemingly with the potential to do something special. I had high high hopes for him.

I have posted this before...

I remember cringing when I heard Kordell say he wanted to be a pocket passer. I knew that was a terrible mistake. Kordell was dangerous when on the move making things happen. He was ordinary from the pocket.

Was this the 7-0 blizzard game against the Bengals? Was that in '76? Because that was one of the truly great games, right out of 1933.

Yes, the 7-3 blizzard game vs the Bengals who were ahead of us in the standings. They were good. Tough game in tough conditions.

Kordell was every bit the talent that Lamar Jackson is...maybe more. Unfortunately, he played at a time when his skill set was looked at as more of a hindrance than a strength for a QB. He was so physically gifted...fast, strong, and blessed with one of the strongest arms I’ve ever seen. But he had poor accuracy, and no grasp of the game and position upstairs. On top of that, he was so mentally fragile that it was pathetic to watch.
I don’t know that I hated a Steelers player more than I hated Stewart. But a lot of that comes from the creepy relationship he had with Cowher. Skin crawling creepy....

I liked Kordell the most when he was on the move. My recollection was he wanted to be just the QB and not Slash at all. And the Chin accommodated by making him a pocket passer. Either way it was fun watching him run and play WR when the opportunities arose.

Agreed on the Kordell eval. But I wasn't watching much football during his time. He did have a soft touch throwing, but they never used him like they should have. And that SI cover? I remember that game. It was a tough fought battle in the snow. I actually had an SI subscription so that cover rings a loud bell.

A quick anectdote : I traveled between NY and Pgh often as my parents were in the 'burg. One year, on my way to my gate at the airport I encountered a fuck load of very large individuals wearing suits de-boarding. I found it odd. Then I saw Mario Lemuiex and Jagr walk past me. I didn't follow hockey so it didn't occur to me to say anything. . . I remember thinking to myself - I thought football players were supposed to be big. Those guys looked huge to me. It was the early 90's. Not to mention me telling Richie Hebner that he looked small on TV when he visited the hospital in PGH while I was a patient in the early 70's. He said : "Really?" I have a signed baseball card. That's the extent of my memorabilia with the exception of a steelers winter hat I wore while shoveling snow as a kid.
