Nov. 17, 1982:<\/strong><\/em> Thirty years ago, NFL fans were a frustrated lot. The 1982 season was on hold, thanks to a players strike that would drag on for 57 days and become increasingly bitter. When it finally ended in mid-November, Art Rooney Sr. walked into his team\u2019s locker room and was greeted by a smiling Mark Malone, then a back-up quarterback. At right is Jack Ham, one of the NLF\u2019s greatest linebackers. By the way, it was Art\u2019s son Dan Rooney who played a key role in bringing the players and owners together to resolve the work stoppage.<\/p>\n

The \u201882 season was reduced to nine games. Rooney\u2019s Steelers finished with a 6-3 record, then were eliminated in the playoffs by a 31-28 loss to San Diego at Three Rivers Stadium.<\/p>\n
