Then, suddenly, the game was over-and the first black-and-gold jerseys appeared at the end of the floodlit passageway leading from the Rose Bowl playing field.

The family franchise in Pittsburgh is as peaceful as the Rams' is stormy. Owner Art Rooney Sr., 78, has turned over the operation of the Steelers to his two sons. Dan, 46, team president, runs the business side. Art Jr., 43, is a vice president and the man who has assembled a marvelously balanced team led by Quarterback Terry Bradshaw, 32, who survived his trial by fire...
