The Pittsburgh Steelers of the 1970s won an unprecedented and unmatched four Super Bowls in six years. A dozen of those Steelers players, coaches, and executives have been inducted into the Hall of Fame, and three decades later their names echo in popular memory: "Mean" Joe Greene, Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, Mike Webster, Jack Lambert, Lynn Swann, and John Stallworth. In ways exhilarating and heartbreaking, they define not only the brotherhood of sports but those elements of the game that engage tens of millions of Americans: its artistry and its brutality.
Drawing on hundreds of interviews, Their Life's Work is a richly textured story of a team and a sport, what the game gave these men, and what the game took.

There’s something peculiar about these “narrators” though. They mispronounce so many names that it’s becoming quite obvious that these books aren’t being read by actual people.
Finally, this book recounts a commonly known story about the Steelers hiding John Stallworth’s college film. It strikes me as odd that this little violation of the rules has been laughed off and dismissed as mere mischief over the years. But if say New England were accused of any such wrongdoing today, there’d be fines, suspensions, and most likely a congressional hearing about it.
