You may have seen some people posting messages on social media about the death of Joe Greene, the legendary Hall of Fame defensive end who spent his entire 13-year career with the Pittsburgh Steelers and totaled 77.5 sacks.
Is that true? Is it real? The answer is: No. It seems that a viral Facebook post that has since disappeared spread the word. But the Steelers confirmed to multiple sites, including KDKA Radio and TMZ, that the report was “not accurate” and that he is still alive. Phew! We can label this as a hoax.
There you have it. “Bad” Joe Greene is alive. As you were.
