It’s Super Bowl time once again and Steelers fans that sit down to watch the extravaganza including former players and coaches that donned black-and-gold will feel somewhat left out of the excitement. But there were days when that wasn’t the case through six Super Bowl championships. Nobody can forget the five men whose MVP performances made those victories possible. Guys with monikers like Franco, Swanny, TB, Hines and Tone have been immortalized in Steeler Nation for winning Best in Show honors. But many more men to don the hypocycloids on their domes besides Franco Harris, Lynn Swann, Terry Bradshaw, Hines Ward and Santonio Holmes were responsible for those six rings. BTSC has prepared a ranking of the best-of-the-best not to be awarded the MVP trophies on those six championship teams.
Let s get to it:
PATRICIA TEMPLER FROM PITTSBURGH, PA: Why is the Steelers-Bengals Monday night game today not on a local Pittsburgh television station? I am very upset about this as I do not subscribe to ESPN, and I m an avid Steelers fan. I don t think this is right.
ANSWER: Rest easy, Patricia. The Steelers game against the Bengals tonight in Cincinnati will be televised on WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh as well as on ESPN. It s an NFL rule that all Monday Night Football and Thursday Night Football games be televised on an over-the-air network in the two local markets.
CORNELIUS KEMP II FROM LUKE AFB, AZ: How do you think Marcus Allen has played thus far? Also, what do you think of Marcus Mariota?
