DSG April 14th – A sad day in Steelers Nation
In case you missed it, here’s the Daily Steelers Grind for April 14th, 2017, highlighting some of the best Pittsburgh Steelers and NFL content out there.
Steelers Chairman Dan Rooney passed away yesterday at the age of 84. Out of respect for the passing of Mr. Rooney, we have opted to not have “commentary” on the posts below, as our way of showing a virtual moment of silence.

A statute immortalizing Art Rooney sits near the Heinz Field entrance. You have to think one honoring Dan will soon join him. #RIP #WPXI pic.twitter.com/8wNDF7NLG8

Dan Rooney always took the time to make sure I was ok. Just him asking made that so.

Dan Rooney was so kind. And so not the normal owner. Lined up to eat press box food with the press on game days

Some don't get it and that's cool. Maybe y'all owners are just that to y'all. It's different over here tho we're a family from the top down.
