As a life long Cowboys fan who has always hated the Steelers…this still may be one of the best commercials ever. Happy birthday Mean Joe.

I will always remember this commercial, as a kid, and even as a cowboys fan back then, I thought it was so cool to see Mean Joe Greene guzzling that Coke and giving that kid his jersey, best sports commercial ever

I had the great privilege of working on the movie “The Steeler and the Pittsburgh Kid” with Joe..I was working TV in Dallas, most the film was shot in Dallas..I played the villian, who reports Joe is hurt and might retire…AWESOME…
