It’s fishy. On an earlier swing through Pittsburgh, he recalled the same story. He mentioned that Rooney delivered two signed footballs from the “World champion Steelers”. The problem is, the Steelers did not win their first championship until after the 1974 season. In 1972, they were merely an up-and-coming team that was finaly emerging from 40 years of futility.

Maybe the Steelers just sent him a nice email...in 1972. (snicker)

Maybe Biden just knew they’d be champs soon

And in Green Bay, he claimed that he was a Packer fan. At home, his wife says that they are lifelong Eagle fans. Old Joe also claims to be Giants fan and a Colts fan until they moved from Baltimore.

He probably watched the Super Bowl in 1972 on his cell phone, text messaging George Halas plays to run.

Every time Old Joe opens his mouth, a thousand people move out of Delaware, in shame.

Did he say that his grandfather used to watch the Steelers play on television back in the 1920s?

IIRC, Rocky didn't start as a Steeler until 1974. He was on the roster in 1968, went to Viet Nam, was injured, and came back in bad shape. Took him two years to retrain and only in ‘74 broke the starting lineup. How would Biden know him as the Steeler that he became before he became it? OK, maybe a Kerryism there...
