Willie Stargell and Terry Bradshaw with Pittsburgh faithful for Sports Illustrated. Photo by Walter Iooss Jr. It was shot for the December 24–31, 1979 issue of Sports Illustrated, which featured the two stars as the magazine’s Sportsmen of the Year. This photoshoot celebrated a historic year for Pittsburgh, as both the Steelers (led by Bradshaw) and the Pirates (led by Stargell) won their respective world championships in the same season—earning the city the nickname City of Champions.

@meanstreetspod @OldTakesExposed Bucky didn't pay his dues.

Get a load of this guy @OldTakesExposed @MarkyBillson

@H2Pickettsburgh @RealAuntieKelly Truth!

Kenny Pickett

@RJH221977 @H2Pickettsburgh I said they should sign Kenny Pickett. Not Mitch Trubisky or any of Pickett's successors.

@MarkyBillson @H2Pickettsburgh Yeah they should’ve signed one of the worst quarterbacks in the league

Steelers need a Qb that’s not Rodger’s And a Soild Wr 3 and 4

@SteelUK John Galbreath is a severely underrated Pittsburgh sports owner.

@MarkyBillson You are right. Art Rooney wasn't lucky enough to win the Derby.

#OTD in #SteelersHistory 1960 UPI reminded #SteelersNation of the many sporting accomplishments of #Steelers owner Art Rooney who after another 14 seasons would achieve his ultimate ambition of a Super Bowl win.

@harvardplayer Yes!

Wilver Dornell Stargell the best pure power hitter I’ve ever seen play the game #Pirates #MLB

@PittsburghHOF In the 1930s, Jack Sell referred to the NFL Pirates as the "Pirates Pros" to differentiate the baseball and football teams. Nearly played for the NFL title in 1936.

For years we wondered, what did the Steelers original logo look like, when they were the Pirates? Well it was this clip that finally revealed the logo, and vintage pennants with this exact logo have been hiding in plain sight for years! Here is the first-ever “Steelers” pennant!

@PittsburghHOF It's almost as if the creators of South Park tried to make "Bucco Bruce" of Tampa Bay Buccaneers fame!

@PittsburghHOF Not a problem with this selection per se, but how about we bring back the PIPERS? They were the champions and frankly, they had the better nickname as it was alliterative. I really don't know what an endangered bird in California has to do with Pittsburgh.

I normally don't post much political stuff here but when I saw this it brought light to a why I had a 10th grade classmate who moved to the USA from Iran. youtube.com/shorts/IrPSW-a…

@Steelersdepot One thing I do not care about is what Smith says.

Stephen A goes off on Art Rooney II: “They've had three head coaches in the franchise's history since 1969. They hired Chuck Noll in his thirties, they hired Bill Cowher in his thirties, they hired Mike Tomlin in his thirties. Then they go out and get a 62-year-old. Art Rooney II is clearly doing things differently, but certainly not better, because while the Steelers, his predecessors, his daddy, his family members were winning championships, this man can't win a playoff game.” #Steelers #NFL

@PaulZeise Truth

Some elite jobs are just too big for some coaches, even really good ones. It appears the shadow of Pat Summit is really hard to get out of for anyone who takes that job

@1992Pirates Myron Cope wrote that story, right?

When I think of best Sports Illustrated covers, I think of this. #LetsGoBucs

This is class! Go Mariners!

@errorclip Oh yes!

Greatest beer commercial in history. Bill Mazeroski and Elroy Face for Iron City. Absolutely surreal both legends pass away in the same week. In 1959 Face was 18-1. In 1960 Maz hit THE home run. Just greatness! youtube.com/watch?v=oUKY20…

@ChrisDokish I will always say if Mike Tomlin had handled Kenny Pickett better, not lying to him where he stood for instance, Steelers would have a great QB with the clutch gene. Instead we have Rent-a-QB. No improvement in the Steelers passing game since Pickett. None.

Move on. He’s not even worth waiting for.

The LC Greenwood & Bert Jones commercials for Miller Lite I added some outtakes at the end
