You feel like yoursquo;re talking to all of your favorite Steelers mdash; one on one.rdquo;Anne Madarasz, Director, Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum, Heinz History Center: ldquo;Lippock has done what few authors of Pittsburgh football history accomplish ndash; he has captured the iconic stories from the athletes that fans know and love while also sharing the reality of professional football. The camaraderie of the locker room, the allure of the big game is in here, told through first person interviews that bring the past alive. But so too is the story of the reality of the business ndash; the trades, the injuries, the careers cut short. A compelling book and valuable for the wide net the author cast and the many voices he captured.rdquo;Frenchy Fuqua: ldquo;I think the book is great. It hits the point for readers!rdquo;Marc Uhlmann, Owner, Steel City Blitz: ldquo;Ron Lippockrsquo;s Steelers Takeaways is a must-read for any fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yes, that sounds clichersquo; but itrsquo;s the truth. Ron has compiled interviews with players whose names yoursquo;ll immediately recognize and many that you wonrsquo;t, but that doesnrsquo;t matter. The stories these men share are full of every emotion you can imagine and theyrsquo;ll have you laughing one minute and in deep thought the next. From the Steelers of old to the stars of today, Ron has done all fans a great service by giving us their insights all in the same place. I highly recommend Steelers Takeaways!rdquo;2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A must have for your Steelers BookshelfBy Brian RoachRon Lippock has peiced together an incredible amount of work and effort to give fans a glimpse into the minds of former players and coaches. In many ways, these stories will both confirm what Steelers fans already believe about the team, the Rooneys and the NFL in general, but it will also surprise you with the cold truth of the business aspect of the game. These stories truly provide a glimpse into the life of players you might have never heard of, and because these players are from all points in Steelers history, both pre-dynasty and after, you get a sense of how things have changed.A great read for any fan of the Steelers!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Easy to pick up but hard to put downBy DJ BlumThis was an enjoyable read! Easy to pick up but hard to put down, Ron Lippock put together a wonderful collection of interviews from Steelers, from past and present. I loved being able to read about the Chief and his relationship with his players, the family environment he established, and the team's evolution that took place once he passed the reigns onto his son. One of my favorite sections of the book was when the players talked about free agency and leaving the team by choice and in pursuit of a bigger payday, or by ownerships decision to move on from an aging player. Any Steelers fan or fan of the NFL and it's rich history should pick this book up! It's one of those that I'll keep in my library and continually re-read or share with friends! Steelers Takeaways approaches the Pittsburgh Steelers organization and players in a way no other book has spanning across seven decades of Steelers players, the book is comprised of personal and on-field stories. Author, Ron Lippock has conducted over 400 interviews with former Steelers from those that played in the 50's, through ones that just recently retired. These stories and memories are amassed not only from the household names like L.C. Greenwood, Donnie Shell, Antwaan Randle El, Rocky Bleier, and Tommie Maddox, but also from the hundreds of players who fought just to make the practice squad. Their contributions and struggles, successes and failures, all helped to define the Steelers as an organization just as much as the many Hall of Famers. These players discuss the adversity they faced the physical impact of the game, the stress of making and keeping one's position on the team, mentoring younger players even as they sought to take their roster spot, moving from team to team, and more. Players reveal the humor behind the game and how it affected them from the jokes teammates played on one another in the locker rooms, meeting rooms, and hotels, to the on-field pranks and antics fans are otherwise not privy to. This is the insider's history of the organization, a very personal view shared from the players perspectives. There is something for every Steeler fan here - and these stories simply can't be found elsewhere.
