He was and always will be what the NFL should stand for as a professional sports organization.

You are in a better place now Mr. Rooney and your legacy will never be forgotten.

He was one of if not the only owner who didn't try to milk every last cent out of the fans but rather actually tried to make sure that they got their money's worth...

I have never been a fan of any other football team. If they aren't the Rams, I dont really care and dislike them all, some much more than others.

Two years ago I spent a weekend in Pittsburgh during the playoffs and I'll admit I became very impressed and a little envious of the fans, their knowledge and passion and the consistently competitive product the Steelers deliver year after year with few exceptions. Stability, a commitment to their fan base and brand of football that the fans want to watch: The ladies love the long ball and the guys like an aggressive defense.
All that comes from the top and Mr Rooney delivered for his fans.

I'll always be a Rams fan.... but being a a steelers fan wouldn't be the worst thing I can imagine...

Have a lot of respect for the Steelers on how they're managed as an organization. Although it's rather difficult for them to get over the hump in recent years seeing that Tomlin refuses to adapt his gameplan on defending against the Pats
