Pittsburgh Steelers Hall of Famer Franco Harris has passed away at the age of 72 just days before his number was set to be retired on the 50th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception.
I do not follow football like I use to bt always liked Harris.
RIP
Ted

that was 50 years ago? Wow!
RIP Franco. It's too bad he didn't get to see his number retired.
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

I don't consider sports figures, actors or entertainers legends. They have talent but their contribution to society is worthless.

Correct and Franco is one of the many who are the exception. I just sent my brother a text telling him of his passing and he said “on no, I just talked to him a few months ago”. He must have not been sick long. Liver cancer I hear.

The Steelers of the 70’s were a juggernaut! Strong at almost every position. Franco was a big part of those teams. RIP sir!
