      I got to listen to the years of Chuck Knoll and then Cower. COWER WAS THE BEST! I'll never forget when they flagged the steelers for 12 men on the field and he got a picture printed showing they had 11 and ran to the official and shoved it in his shirt pocket. I was so sad to see him leave. Him and Knoll were great.

    I am 58 years old and been a Steeler Fan since I was 8 years old and loved this video! I miss the era with Ben and Coach Cowher together. Bill Cowher was the best coach I have ever seen. He celebrated with the team during times but he was coach enough and man enough to get in your faces when he needed to. Man I miss those times and couldn't get enough of this video. I could have sit here and watched it for hours!!!!
    Great video!!!!!!

Sat right behind the Steelers bench. Best game ever.
