I remember when Terry Bradshaw had hair
Once when I was in the Navy, my wife and I travelled from Jacksonville to Pittsburgh for the holidays. When we were coming back, we found that we were leaving Pittsburgh the same day that the Steelers were leaving to go to the playoffs. When we got in line at the metal detectors at Greater Pitt, my sister, who was ahead of me in line, noticed that Terry Bradshaw was in line in front of her. She turned around and started loudly whispering to me that she was behind Terry Bradshaw. I looked past her and she was right. There was Terry, and Franco Harris and Chuck Noll were ahead of him.
My sister and I were chattering away about Bradshaw and we could tell he was listening to us because he slightly turned his head towards us. Anyway, my wife, who is from Jacksonville and knew nothing of the Steelers at the time, was standing between my sister and I, and said really loud "who the Hell is Terry Bradshaw?" Bradshaw's head whipped around so fast his cowboy hat almost fell off! The best part was Harris and Noll had heard her and seen Terry's reaction, and they were both leaning against the X-Ray machine because they were laughing so hard.
We ended up departing from the gate next to the ones the Steelers were using, and Chuck Noll made a point to come over and thank my wife for a great laugh. Bradshaw left the Steelers shortly after that, and vowed never to return to the 'Burgh, and I always wondered if my wife had anything to do with that decision.
