Way before my time.

Condolences though to the Steelers fans and players. There would be no Baltimore Ravens without the rivalry we inherited with this cornerstone NFL franchise.

Jack Butler has been recognized in Pittsburgh for quite some time now when it comes to certain home games and anniversary seasons. He came from an era that pitted the toughest sons of bitches to step foot on the field and he was one of them. A true Pittsburgh, grit-type player that defined where the Steelers organization was heading in a tough-man like direction. He battled a gruesome knee injury with a staph infection effecting him his whole life. That same staph infection was the result in Butler's death. RIP to one of the harder workers that helped shape football to what it is today.

Anyone pre Goodell era shaped football. Now they're pussies. lol

But really...Staph is a BITCH. Had it in my knee a few years ago, and luckily, I caught it early. Hurt like hell, and I can only imagine what it would've been like had I let it slip.
