Wow thats horrible. He said that to a 6 year old. What a damn jerk!

My dad used to drive the Steelers on accasion to the airport for away games. Now dad is not a Steeler fan but is always going to give it to me real. Although I never personally met
him dad told me that Yancy Thigpen was arrogant and had and attitude. Other than that everyone else was cool.

My buddy at work also met Bradshaw about 8 years ago ... he got into the taxi line and got pissed off because my buddy made him walk 20 feet to get his cab...

Bradshaw must have known my buddy is a Clowns fan!

Players I didn't like

1) Terry Bradshaw-total jerk, nothing like his on tv personna

2) Lynn Swann-almost as bad as Bradshaw

3) John Stallworth

4) Mel Blount


Players that were great

1) Rocky Bleier-nicest guy of em all

2) Andy Russell-very close to being as good as Bleier

3) Hines Ward

4) Jerome Bettis

5) Greg Lloyd

6) Jack Lambert-if he talked more, he'd be #1

Dude, How long did you meet Mel Blount? 10 seconds when he signed something for you? Mel Blount is a very loving husband and father and has done more to help others (especially out of pocket) than anyone else I know. Plus he may not be very vocal at times, but he let his work on the field speak for itself. He is a great man. Sorry he didn't "wow" you in those 10 seconds.

I've heard countless times both these guys are great people! My wife is a big Swanny fan & a good friend of mine knows Terry and said he is incredibly down to earth and nice. I just know more about MB.

As for my personal experiences:

Nice guys: Rocky Bleier, Mel Blount, Mike Kruczek, Jack Ham, Dermonti Dawson.
Franco was very nice to my son and my wife said Chuck Noll was friendly when she met him.

Theo Bell was a jerk.

I saw Kimo VonOlhoffen at Showcase Cinema North last year (in the middle of the season, before superbowl playoff run) What a great guy. Kids were running up to him shaking his hand---he could not have been nicer or more gracious.

Personally, unless I've seen a player act like a jerk on more than one occasion, I have no problem giving these guys a pass---I can't imagine being contantly in the public eye---I wonder what people would say about me if they caught me on a bad day.

Bradshaw was cool.

Kevin Greene was a jerk.

That's about it.
