@@gregorytaylor3146 It’s such a mentally tough position - They went through offensive coordinators after Chan Gailey left. Kordell’s best year was under Chan in 97’, of which, he also lost Yancey Thigpen.

@@ItzYinzburgh Agreed, plus I feel the Steelers organization never really fully committed to Kordell as the guy. After all he was banned from QB meetings in 99 when they wanted Kent Graham to QB and Kordell to be Slash again. Which in my opinion was kinda crappy for a developing QB. Plus after the 97 season we lost so much on both sides of the ball and were clearly in rebuild mode. But most steelers fans couldn't recognize that and turned on Kordell with a quickness. Btw Charles Johnson and Courtney Hawkins were our #1 and 2 Wrs in the late 90s, and were clearly not #1 or 2 wrs.

My God I had forgotten what a monster Bettis was and how hard he was to bring down. A true smash mouth football player and so bloody quick in his prime. Then there was Ward the consummate professional with that infectious smile and golden hands, speed and grace. Lethal at any time in any game. Three rivers hosted some of thd most brilliant players and brilliant teams ever to play the game. As a stadium it was not great at all but its memories are and thats what matters most.

God i miss these Steelers smash mouth physical all around classical moment was when Jerome Bettis hugged Franco Harris 😭

Great memories as a kid in the 70's watching the Steelers play in Three Rivers, it was a sad day to see it go down.

I was at the implosion....such a special moment. There was so many memories for everyone.

I too was at this game sitting up top under the overhang. Good thing cause it rained all day. What I remember most is when the 2nd half started I heard banging and clanging and the sound of socket sets. Everyone around us was unbolting the seats in anticipation of taking one or more home. I laughed and said to one guy "You're never getting out of here with that". His response was "Yeah? We'll see". After the game we got downstairs and never, in my life, have I seen so many cops and security personnel. They were grabbing everyone who had a "souvenir". It was ridiculous. Good time.

So many great memories of Three Rivers Stadium. I loved seeing Mean Joe Greene. I watched the game when Terry’s pass bounced off the helmet & Franco took it in for TD to win the game. Stewart could have been so much more had he been given a chance. This team had so much 1st class talent. You could never count them out because they never gave up. My fav Bettis never disappoints. Ward everywhere & making great clutch catches. We Will We Will Rock You. Another great one, Itz. Thanks for the memories.

Great video. I was fortunate enough to attend a Steelers game in the fall of 1998 at 3 rivers (I'm on the west coast so it is/was a big deal) and being a die hard Steelers fan it was literal nirvana. I find it incredibly interesting when anyone talks about scrambling QB's that Kordell is never mentioned. Heck he was even nicknamed slash if that doesn't sum up how versatile and just plain good he was.

@mastick5106

2 жыл бұрын

Slash probably gets overlooked in the scrambling QB discussion simply because he was better known for his true "Slash" days, before he became a full-time QB. Heck, I've followed the Steelers since 1969 and I tend to forget to think of him in that way.

This game took place in 2000 yet the video looks more like early 1990s.

We really beat them down !! #steelernation🖤💛

That was on my birthday remember that game forsure

Loved that video

I always felt bad for Stewart. Three offensive coordinators in five years is just ridiculous. No wonder he had so many issues.

Was there. Excellent video.

Stadium seems a lot louder than heinz field.... I have lots of memories inside that stadium but my favorite would have to be everytime i saw Roberto in right field. I used to make my dad go early and buy general admission so we could be in the first row behind Roberto. I was only 7yrs old when it opened but that first time walking up those switch back ramps and getting the occasional glimpse of the field was like christmas morning to me. I had only been to a couple games at forbes field and barely remember them but three rivers stadium was like a shrine compared to it....plus taking the good ship lolly pop from the mom wharf was really cool.

The Steelers are the best team in the AFC conference . I've been a Steelers fan since the 70 and til this day I'm still representing the black and gold. GO STEELERS FOR LIFE 😀👍

Awesome. Thank you.

I remember watching the game while listening to Bill and Myron and Myron kept calling them the Wash Red Faces. He claimed that Daniel Snyder sent somebody to the booth to ask him to stop it. He didn't stop. Few other things. This was a Saturday afternoon game so the whole country watched. The Steelers started 0-3 but finished 9-7 and needed Indy to lose to make the playoffs but they didn't. With a few breaks and if officials didn't blow calls in two other losses (the league literally apologized for them) they could have been 13-3 (which they would do in 2001). The aforementioned Snyder was a new owner in the NFL and tried to make a splash by bringing in every big named player he could like Deion Sanders, Bruce Smith, Brad Johnson and others. They were still trash.

I was driving through Western PA during the game. Listened to Myron Cope call the first half. Had never heard him before. All I can say is, what a voice...what a game..

I forgot how odd the football configuration was in the stadium

the end of this stadium broke a piece of my heart, i remember seeing the steelers and pirates play there. so many great played in that stadium. remember seeing andy van slyke hitting a 2 run shot in a loss to the braves back in the early 90s i was a kid. best day of my life and andy was my favorite.

The greatest game in Steelers history was the immaculate reception

I was fortunate to attend two games where the Steelers played their last game in a particular stadium, Three Rivers and Municipal Stadium. This one was exciting, the game in Cleveland was sad. It was quite an experience to be involved in a chant of "Modell sucks" by 70k. Of course, I had a huge concrete column blocking my view and had to pisss in a latrine, might also have used a sink and a garbage can as well. That stadium needed to go, but the original Browns did not.

I really like Heinz Field. It is a great place to play ball. the open end looking out across the water, and skyline. But Having grown up in the 60's, and 70's, it was Three rivers I grew up with once it was built. That place was loud, and it shook from people jumping up and down. A ton of history there. and we got to see first hand one of the worst teams in the NFL, change into one of the best teams ever. These throwback games bring back a lot for me, thanks.

They need to start painting the Heinz field end zones again, when you see that gold end zone you know you're in steeler country. Few more years and pittsburgh be ready for new improve stadium open air of course

Damn, you should've shown the demolition at the end, and then maybe the opening of the new, Heinz Field. Your 💩 is absolutely always top notch, so forgive me for being an armchair QB, lol.

He was extremely talented, his story should have ended differently in Pittsburgh.

Wish I could go back in time until the steelers in 1997 to tank you're gonna tank you won't finish deadlines you want the number one over all pick and then to 1998 they draft Peyton Manning. I think we would have like 10 super bowls right now.

Missing Kordell right now.

Dang 3 Rivers stadium was only 30 years old and Heinz field (I know but I’ll never call it by it’s new name) is 21 years old, so around 9 years we might be getting a new stadium? I like Heinz name but they should of kept the name 3 Rivers stadium....either name is fine tho...just not that new name, sounds like somewhere you go to get false teeth or something.
