Thursday Marks 20th Anniversary of Three Rivers Stadium Implosion.

(Pittsburgh, Pa.) Today marks the 20th Anniversary of the implosion of Three Rivers Stadium on Pittsburgh’s North Shore. Three Rivers was the home of the Pirates, Steelers, and even the Pittsburgh Maulers at one point during its history.
Both the Steelers and Pirates played there from the time the $55 million multi use stadium opened on July 16, 1970 when the Bucs donned a new style uniform to take on the The Reds until its implosion in 2001. The Bucs lost to the Reds 3-2 that day. The stadium’s capacity was 59,000 people.
The Final game ever played at was on Dec 16, 2000 as Steelers Legends Jack Lambert, Franco Harris, Jack Ham, and Mel Blount twirled Terrible Towels as they walked out for the coin toss, which was the only thing to go the Redskin’s way that afternoon.

Coach Bill Cowher started quarterback Kordell Stewart who, combined with Jerome Bettis, steamrolled over the Redskins to a massive 24-3 victory.

The Steelers did not qualify for the play-offs that year.

Thousands of people watched the implosion from Point State Park, Mount Washington and at home on TV.

From fight to Fox: NASCAR rivals play nice as TV teammates

From fight to Fox: NASCAR rivals play nice as TV teammates
By MARK LONG AP Sports Writer
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Jeff Gordon and Clint Bowyer were once ready to throw down following an intentional crash at Phoenix Raceway in 2012. They eventually made up. These days, all is forgiven. But far from forgotten. Nearly nine years after Gordon, a four-time NASCAR champion, and Bowyer, the funniest guy in the garage, were involved in one of the most infamous on-track paybacks in NASCAR history. The former rivals are now good friends and eager to share the Fox broadcast booth in 2021. As they begin their first season on the same team, they’re not shying away from their past.

The longtime NFL coach Marty Schottenheimer has died. Family friend and former Kansas City Chiefs publicist Bob Moore says Schottenheimer died late Monday night in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2014. He was moved to a hospice on Jan. 30. Schottenheimer won 200 regular-season games with four NFL teams thanks to his “Martyball” brand of smash-mouth football but regularly fell short in the playoffs. He was the eighth-winningest coach in NFL history. He went 200-126-1 in 21 seasons with the Cleveland Browns, Kansas City Chiefs, Washington and San Diego Chargers. His success was rooted in “Martyball,” a conservative approach that featured a strong running game and tough defense. Marty Schotenheimer was 77.
