The Steel Curtain.

For you youngsters...you may have seen one of the most famous commercials in the US of a football player named Mean Joe Green, who tosses a jersy to a kid who offers him a coke after a game...
well, he turned 57 years old yesterday.

I remember watching all four Vikings Super Bowl losses as a kid, even the first one in 1970 when I was a wee lad of 4.

The Steel Curtain was just a second rate copy of the Fearsome Foursome.

I remember them too...scarey!  And the Rams in the superbowl...

I too, watched all 4 Viking superbowls banana. It was required in Minnesota. :) (Born in 1960 here)  This is where I learned the fine art of hating the Raiders, they could only win by circumventing the rules, many rules we have today are directly because the Raiders were cheaters. :)
