mantleisthebest7 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I don't know too much about him, other than he was one of the Steelers' true legends in the trenches. My condolences go out to his family and friends. He seemed to be a really great guy, and I believe he will be greatly missed.

Mac the Knife Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 For you young'unz out there, Ernie was dubbed "Arrowhead" by his Steeler teammates. The reason? Before it became popular to 'sculpt' hair, he had his afro shaped into an arrow pointing from the back of his head to the front.When asked why he'd done it, he replied that it would help him ensure that he kept moving in the right direction.I kid you not.

I remember a picture of the Steelers front four and there was Ernie with that arrow on his head. Every time I heard his name after that I thought of that picture. All roads lead to Dollar General.
