West Mifflin, Pa. — Want to turn a 6-foot-6, 331-pound monster of a professional football player into a sad, 12-year-old kid?
Just tell him he can't ride the Steel Curtain.
"Oh, I was bummed, man," Matt Feiler was telling me Friday at Kennywood, where the park unveiled its latest, greatest thrill ride. "I seriously wanted to ride it."
Being that size pays dividends at right tackle, but, unfortunately for Feiler, it doesn't work out so well in a cramped roller-coaster seat. After the crew couldn't get Feiler's safety bar to fasten, they had to tell him to exit stage left.
