Totally forgot about all that, George.
Thanks for reminding this shallow-headed Stillers fan.
Thanks,

Because of the 50th anniversary of the immaculate reception - I can understand
the reason for the retirement - but . . .
Considering: 1) the way he left the team; 2) his Paterno truther stance; 3)
actively politicking for a casino on the South Side that could’ve lead to the
Penguins moving to KC or Hamilton - 12 should’ve been the third number retired.

There are some numbers, like smells, that conjure up fond memories. Any time
I see a 43 ANYWHERE, I see in my mind Troy picking the ball off the surface
with his fingertips or running a pick back through heavy traffic. Similarly,
any time I see a 58 ANYWHERE, I see Cliff Harris on the ground.

I'm all for retiring Troy's jersey in the 2050s.

They weren't going to give #32 to anyone ever again anyway, so I say he
deserves it. Same for Bradshaw, but I think he needs to endear himself to the
team a bit more before that'll happen.

For years Stautner was the only retired number and I thought it would always be
that way. Too many HOFers to retire their numbers. Joe Greene made some sense
as the start of a new era in franchise history. I guess they will argue that
the Immaculate reception was a turning point in team history, but what next?
Ben, Troy... another player from the next era? Why not Swann, Stalworth, James
or Santonio for crucial plays in team history. I know it is the 50th
anniversary of the Immaculate Reception , but I don't like the idea of retiring
the numbers. Just my opinion.
