A few days have now passed since Pittsburgh Steelers Chairman Dan Rooney passed away, and in that time I have shared a number of stories of the team’s chief rivals of today’s game expressing their sentiment and paying homage to the man that ran or helped run the team for over half a century.
None had a greater history with the Rooneys than the Brown family, and that includes team president Mike Brown, the son of Paul Brown, after whom is named the Cleveland Browns, and who subsequently founded the Cincinnati Bengals.
