The Steelers of ’69

So around Thanksgiving of 2017 I’m hanging out with my lovely wife and we’re both screwing around on our smartphones. I’m messing around on Twitter scrolling through the hundreds of tweets that the people and accounts that I follow were putting out that day. I had just created my own Twitter page so I was new to this Twitter thing. It’s amazing that there is a Twitter page for virtually everything…dead presidents, cars, favorite sports teams, etc. If you want someone’s opinion about anything, and I mean ANYTHING, you just need to search on Twitter for it.

Anyway, as I was thinking to myself that there is an account for everything it dawned on me that there was something not out there that I couldn’t believe wasn’t actually being discussed. Not one account for the greatest sports team in the history of the NFL, the 1970s Pittsburgh Steelers. Could it be? I told my wife this and she told me to start one. How do you start an account on Twitter that you are not associated with? Has to be some sort of law being broken. So on that day @VintageSteelers was born. How hard can it be? Throwing things out there about the greatest dynasty in NFL history. There’s an endless supply of photos on the internet and ideas in my head. To me, the 70s Steelers, and their success, started in 1969. So, let’s take a look back at 1969.
