That’s the Way the Curtain Crumbles

(Raves for mourning Steelers fan Jon)

Or
Steel Curtains
(Tributes for Joe, also laughing through the tears)
Ernie Holmes, one of the odder members of the Steel Curtain defense, was killed in a single car accident in Texas at the age of 59. Early in his career, he earned 5 years probation for an incident in which he shot a pistol at a police helicopter. In 1974, he picked up the nickname Arrowhead when he shaved his head, leaving only a patch of hair in the shape of an arrow. He was a member of the 1975 and 1976 Super Bowl teams, and is the third member of the Steel Curtain to die, following – Mike Webster and Steve Courson.
