 Dan Rooney December 28, 2007

This is a beautifully-written book that would be of interest even to those who don't know or care very much about football. Dan Rooney is the last of an important era in American football, and the authors have done a meticulous and caring job of capturing a significant piece of sports history. Don't miss this one!

A nice retrospective on one of the most successful franchises in sports over the past 35 years. The Steelers were equally as inept in their first 40 years, and that is covered too. Insights into many key moments in Steeler history - founding the team, cutting Johhny U, hiring Noll, Cowher & Tomlin, drafting of the Hall of Famers that dominated the 70's, passing on Dan Marino, and more. No big surprises, but an interesting, worthwhile read, especially for NFL fans and particularly any member of Steeler Nation.

If you are a Steeler fan, this is a great book! December 17, 2007

If you are a Steeler fan, this is a great book. The history of the Pittsburgh Steelers is fascinating. There are great insights into players, coaches, current and former NFL commissioners, and other team owners. What is also clear is the quality of the ownership of the team. The Rooney family is a class act. Art Rooney ("The Chief") was quite the businessman. I had no idea how much he was involved in. The success of the Pittsburgh Steelers is a testament to "good guys win." I have a newfound admiration for the Rooney family and a new sense of pride as part of the "Steeler Nation."
 mostly disappointing December 14, 2007

I was really excited to get my hands on this book,and bitterly disappointed afterward. The personal stories and perceptions of Dan Rooney with such a long career. How great this book was going to be, or should have been. The two historians that wrote the book, didn't even fact check. Aliquippa on the Mon....... in the Steel Valley???? The Johnny Unitas information was so inaccurate. Johnny didn't call on many teams, ONLY ONE. He didn't write the letter. The coach of the Bloomfield Rams Semi Pro team had his wife do it. Why wouldn't you fact check???? Just two errors, but there are too many to detail (53). I'm sorry for Mr Rooney, he deserved more qualified writers. This could have been a great book.
