May 18, 2023 Remembering the Steel Curtain: A Round Table with Harv Aronson, Aron Harris, and Steve Massey
One of the most storied and feared defensive fronts in gridiron history were the four men in the trenches for the Pittsburgh Steelers during the 1970s NFL Dynasty. To celebrate this group, I was lucky to sit down recently with three experts in Steelers' history; Harv Aronson, Aron Harris, and Steve Massey. Listen to this excellent discussion of the Steel Curtain.
Aron Harris, a long-time Steelers fan, is the host of the Football Odyssey Website and Podcast.
Harv Aronson was born and raised in Pittsburgh now living in Florida. Harv is a graduate from North Hills High School in Pittsburgh and Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania. He has a degree in Communications with a minor in Journalism.
Harv had managed and wrote the website Steelers Hotline and currently writes for Abstract Sports, and the magazine Gridiron Greats. Harv wrote the published book "Pro Football's Most Passionate Fans" and as a professional writer has had articles published in an array of sports publications.
Having followed sports since 1972, Harv began his sports writing career in 1975 as a staff member of his high school newspaper. He was also a sportswriter for Slippery Rock University's newspaper the Rocket and also served as the school radio station's Sports Director.
Harv loves all sports but football, baseball, and MMA are at the top of his interest. His passion is for sports history.
