I have collected every teams football helmet over the years. Usually getting one or two for Christmas. The Steelers were my very first one back around ‘78. Them and the Cowboys were THE two teams and I didn’t like the flashy Cowboys. I loved the rough and tough Steelers.
Terry probably called 43 because Swann won SB MVP previous Superbowl and wanted to make sure Swann's stats didn't over shadow his own passing Super Bowl performance to win mvp. I give props to Mac Jones for getting Devonta Smith the🏈 a lot especially finishing 1-2 for Hiesman.
This wasn't as much a story about Terry Bradshaw as it was an "explain-a-brag" about Swanie wanting recognition for the play that won Bradshaw the MVP. The Steelers were the first dynasty and, like Connery's Bond, the greatest of all time.

A lot more people should be just like Terry. Having a good time and laughing and enjoying himself and being the life of the party! That is a gift that most people wish they had. The others like Terry already have it.
Terry was an incredible athlete coming out of college. He had a wild, loosy goosy devil-may-care attitude and a cannon. He was something of a momma's boy and sometimes he just wanted a hug. He didn't get that in the pros. He improvised on the field using his God given talent because that worked in high school and college.

A Super Bowl later he started to think maybe the coach knew what he was doing, and the hate turned to love and admiration. Later on, Terry said "Coach Noll made me tough'!
I miss the old days...when teams stayed together. I followed the Steelers in the 70's. Now it's all about the money. I miss the old days....thanks Terry for the memories.
It's like everything else. They don't want young ones to know how badass these guys were. It makes today's players look like overpaid pussys. Oh wait. They are!
Lynn Swann, I had jerseys made at the mall with his name and # on it when I was 12 back in the 70's. Still have the headlines cut from the newspaper of their Superbowl wins.

well yes 4 out of 5 were on steroids plus 2 of them were on the strong man competition just saying.They did not get the steroids from there doctor and back then that was a NO NO
As a kid growing up on the Mt Lebo/Dormont line used to get on the Street Car to go out to Forbes Field, then Three Rivers to see the Pirates. Never could afford NFL tickets, First saw our beloved Steelers at the Kingdome many years later. Did however see Terry live once his rookie season if memory serves. WPIAL HS Football playoff at Three Rivers. Bunch of us kids went down to watch practice or something. Some Steelers were out in uniform working out. We saw our first round pick immediately, no helmet. He was throwing 40 yard passes with barely a flick of the wrist. What an arm!
listening to those guys and realizing what they were doing is fun because you knew they were the best team in the `70s they had it all period end of sentence. Same thing with the 9ER's in the `80s same thing with the Patriots later on...true dynasty's you had to be there in one way or another to see it.
These days Bradshaw is an afterthought ...I remember when Montana was heralded as the greatest QB ever...never did anyone mention 4 Super Bowls in a row for Bradshaw.....now it is Brady...but I remember Bradshaw and he was fabulous!...and it seems unfair to all of them to rank them...just a thought.
Lynn Swann is NOT a HOF player. Less than 350 career receptions. How is that a HOF career? It took Art Monk years to get in with nearly 1000 receptions. Weird.
Lynn Swann is definitely a well-deserved Hall of Famer. Art Monk was a stat-padder. Typical Art Monk game: 7 catches for 31 yards. Swann made history-making, game-swinging catches. The '70s Steelers don't win four Super Bowls without Swann. Redskins went on two successful Super Bowl runs ('82 & '87) WITHOUT Monk. Seems to me when your "Hall of Fame" receiver is out for the playoffs your Super Bowl hopes are done. Art Monk: The Keyshawn Johnson (all receptions/no results) of his era.
@@JAWrightonline You don't have to put down Art Monk to prop up Lynn Swann. Both were solid and reliable receivers and are Hall Of Famers.. Art Monk didn't have Terry Bradshaw caliber quarterbacks throwing to him. But he made Theisman look as good.
@@bonanzatime Nope. Art Monk is one of the most undeserved players in the Pro Football Hall of Fame (Others being Bob Griese, Cris Carter, and I could go on). Lester Hayes owned him. Theismann padded Monk's catch total with all those three-yard passes. I know one thing (in addition to the 'Skins winning their first two Super Bowls while this "Hall of Famer" was on IR as Alvin Garrett and Ricky Sanders did a better job in his stead): When Lawrence Taylor ended Theismann's career and the QB duties went to Jay Schroeder, Doug Williams, and finally Mark Rypien, Monk's salad days and gravy train were over. If Art Monk wanted to catch a pass, he had to run his sorry ass down the field. Lester Hayes before Super Bowl XVIII: "I don't fear Art Monk...I fear Joe Gibbs. Gibbs can make an All-Pro tight end out of (6-7, 310 lb.) Joe Jacoby. Gibbs has taken two good receivers (Art Monk, Charlie Brown) and made them semi-great ones." With Lester Hayes covering him, Monk played in Super Bowl XVIII and finished with one catch...Hall of Famer my ass!
@@JAWrightonline I don't know what planet you're from, but it ain't from planet earth (maybe it's Philadelphia?.. Asshole Capitol Of The World).. Anyway, Art Monk was The Best high school receiver in the country when he was in high school. Also he held several NFL records, one of which was consecutive games with catches.. My memory is pretty damn good, and remember Art Monk being a receiving force of nature for many many years. And That's A Fact.. his only detriment is being quiet and humble off the field, so bitter beagles fans like you can put him down..
