When the Pittsburgh Penguins retired Jaromir Jagr’s number 68 jersey on Feb. 18, it was a momentous occasion for Pittsburgh sports. Jagr was a legend due to his combination of incredible hockey talent and iconic mullet. It was fitting that the Penguins retired his number, joining Michel Briere’s No. 21 jersey and Mario Lemieux’s No. 66.
For some, that was a moment of healing from when Jagr was dealt to the Washington Capitals. For others like 93.7 the Fan’s Joe Starkey, it provoked questions about the Steelers and Terry Bradshaw.
“The fact that Terry Bradshaw’s jersey is not retired is a franchise embarrassment,” Starkey said.
