Not a fan of the team, but he kept them in it every season. In a small market town.

RIP Mr. Rooney
We're looking for people that are fundamentally different,” vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl said Saturday night. “The love and passion for football, it's non-negotiable. They're caring, their character, they do the right thing persistently, and they have a relentless playing style that you can see on tape. The motor, it burns hot. You see them finishing plays. They have a team-first mentality. They're selfless individuals.Tags: None

Certainly seemed like he was one of the good guys in the league and you can't argue that the Steelers have consistently been relevant in the NFL. While Lurie hasn't had the consistent success I see him as a similar ownerWait until next year is a terrible philosophy
Hope is not a strategy
RIP

There might be a few unusual prospects in camp this summer
The Eagles went so far as to assign a scout to keep tabs on prospective projects in college basketball. And when that scout left, the Eagles saw the role as important enough to replace him.
“Look around the league, and you see the athletes who are winning these one-on-one matchups—a lot of them have basketball background—and we wanted to make sure we’re researching guys to be part of the next wave,” Eagles vice president Howie Roseman explained. “Most of the guys, you see them, you don’t know if they’ll have a real chance to play in the NBA, based on their body type. But that body type is perfect for football.” Now, more often than not, the basketball players who give the NFL a shot won’t make it. But enough do to where what we’re seeing the Chiefs do this month is far from novelty anymore."Hey Giants, who's your Daddy?"

Used to know his brother Tim reasonably well. The 5 brothers owned all their ventures in equal shares, but each brother managed a different business. Dan managed the Steelers, obviously. Tim managed Yonkers Raceway. The family has its roots in horse racing. Art was a math wiz and created many of the racing paradigms that exist today. Quite the family. RIP Dan Rooney.Russian reporters to Bobby Clarke: Can you imagine hockey without fights?
