Why people recommend it

Their Life's Work by Gary M. Pomerantz is a sports history book that chronicles the legendary Pittsburgh Steelers teams of the 1970s and explores the enduring bonds among the players who built a football dynasty. On the March 2020 episode of the Monday Morning Podcast, host Bill Burr spoke to his audience about how he was spending his time at home during a period of isolation. Burr shared that he had been steadily working his way through the book about the historic Pittsburgh franchise, noting at the time of the recording that his reading had progressed right up to the team's first playoff game of their inaugural Super Bowl season. The casual mention reflected Burr's personal reading habits and gave listeners a glimpse into his off-air interests, specifically his engagement with classic sports literature. By describing his progress through the text, Burr connected with sports fans in his audience who shared an appreciation for professional football history and the legacy of the dominant 1970s Steelers rosters.
