Subject: RE: BS: American football question
KB, you're quite right about 72 being at the beginning of Steeler dominance but the tools were really in place pretty much by that time and they were playing well then too. The Dolphins with the No-Name" defense were a more miraculous team in my mind. They were a fine team but I was never a fan of them either.

Bradshaw in many ways was one of the dumbest QB's in history but he had that football "sense" that was about second to none. Whether that was a combination of something he'd learned through playing or great vision or a great arm or something, no one ever knew. I remember somebody once said about him, "He's dumber than hell but gawddamn, he's such a SPECIMEN!"
