Steelers, The Complete History

From time to time I�ll toss up a book review after reading an interesting book about the Black and Gold.� Since I�ve been pretty busy as of late and read far too much at work, I came across a DVD collection that I would highly recommend to any Stiller fan.

This year, NFL Films and Warner Brothers, produced a series of NFL team DVDs.� The one I obviously purchased was �Steelers, The Complete History.�

This two disk DVD is a documentary starting from when Rooney bought the Pirates in 1933 (for $2,500) to Big Ben�s inaugural season as a Steeler.� The coverage and quality is excellent.

You�ll see clips from the beginning to recent and the volumes of history in between.� As a trivia buff, this was a great purchase and I got to watch it, not read it. (Nothing against reading Dr. Hesske)

This is the best collection of video that I have seen in many years.� Some chapters include:

• Rooney�s Dream
• Bullet Bill & Dr. Dick
• Steel Town Tough
• Buddy�s (Buddy Parker)
• Same Old Steelers (especially for Nick 79)
• New Coach, New Home:� Opening of Three Rivers
• The Immaculate Season
• For the Chief (First Super Bowl Win)
• City of Champions
• The Best Defense Ever
• Team of the Decade
• Chuck�s Last Hurrah
• Cowher Power
• Bus �n� Slash
• 21^st Century Football
• A Town, a Team, a Family.

Bonus features include:

• Super Bowl XIII
• Bill Cowher
• Jerome Bettis
• Bradshaw
• Franco�s Italian Army
• Rocky Bleier�s Vietnam experience
• Myron
• Dick Hoak
• Bill Saul, NFL Films� 1^st ever sound wiring

The two DVD set can be purchased through many outlets.� www.steelers.com is selling it for $26.95: http://www.steelers.com/catalog/product/55274/

I�ve seen it cheaper at www.amazon.com for $20.21 and they have some cheaper ones that are used http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0009NSCSU/qid=1127964100/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-0957644-5655124?v=glance&s=dvd

Whatever the price, if you can get your hands on this collection, I�m confident you�ll be pleased.� Your wife or girlfriend may not, but such is life.� It is a superb highlight set of the Black and Gold.

Amazon.com gives this DVD collection 4 � Stars.� I�ll agree with their assessment.� It is a great gift for a fellow fan or for you.� A must watch for any true Stiller Fan.
