Pittsburgh Sports Memories

Joe Greene the Diva?!

Tim and Steve

What would you call a Steelers player who threw tantrums on the field, repeatedly took selfish penalties, spit on a reporter, and quit on his team? Most people call him the greatest Steeler in the history of the franchise! In this episode, we explore Joe Greene’s controversial first few years and explore why the team and its fans stuck with him. We also discuss whether or not this would be possible in today’s NFL.
