Rocky on retirement

March 19, 1981

Pittsburgh halfback Rocky Bleier reflecting on his retirement from pro football: "It was not so much the last game that got me, but having to say goodbye. I'm not going to miss the practices. I'm not going to miss the training camps. The biggest thing is the competition, The Sundays, the Monday nights. And the guys. Teams have special relationships.When you're on the outside, you can never be a member of the team again."
