No other National Football League team in the modern sports era - as identified by Nielson - earned a whole lot in so short amount of time. The tag will stay with the Steelers for a long, long time. Fans in Pittsburgh can say thanks to NFL free organization, but only partly. They should certainly say thanks to the '79 Steelers for being successful a fourth name when, really, the team should not did so. The 1979 Steelers were not supposed to win a championship. The Steel Curtain was in drop, and the Houston Oilers were pounding on the entranceway of the AFC. By the end of the season, of course, the banged-up Oilers were not to be feared, not with the NORTH PARK Chargers gathering heavy steam. Within the NFC, the Dallas Cowboys could flavor revenge, especially after Steelers mentor Chuck Noll had mocked them unmercifully following the earlier year's Super Dish. However, the Steelers persevered. "We probably earned it more on desire, soccer intellect," said Steelers protective superstar "Mean" Joe Greene. Greene admitted that the defense was in drop. He even admitted his great career was in drop, but he never thought the end of the dynasty was close to.

"I probably must have," he admits 25 years later. The 1979 season had exhausted Bradshaw, a subject he talks about in Stories from Behind the Metal Curtain. Greene also offers plenty to say. So do their teammates and their instructors, not to mention the scouts, front office and support workers, media, and fans.
