You really didnโt think youโd make it out of his birthday without seeing his rookie did you?
Happy birthday to a Truly Legendary player, Joe Greene.
Arguably the top Performer in the Steelers Timeline, Greene is the cornerstone of the 1970โs Steelers Dynasty, with too many accolades to list.
This Emblem of the Hall turns 80 today!
I hope you like card references!

Week 2 is in the books and it was a VERY bad outcome for the Commanders, Giants, among others. Some interesting marks were hit and we may be coining an R-Rated version of Scorigami with our index this week. @ScorigamiGuy @NFL_Scorigami @PigskinDispatch
