Franco was one of the best running backs of the 70s. He was a big man so it always took defenses by surprise when he displayed the quickness & the speed & the moves of a halfback. I think it was this ability that was responsible for him rushing for over a thousand yards year in & year out during the great Steeler dynasty of the 70s. RIP

I was born and raised in a small town near to Pittsburgh. When Franco passed away - a LOT of my friends from home posted Facebook photos they took with Franco - random meetings from over the years - from a sidewalk in Pittsburgh, a shopping mall, a restaurant, Penn State games, you name it. It got me thinking about ALL the extra time he took for fans over the years. He must have been stopped and asked to snap photos a dozen times a day - or more. Yet he took the time with many, many fans - with patience, class, and in good cheer. That alone is quite a thing.

The feature back at PSU at the time was Lydell Mitchell. He got drafted by a horrible Colts team. He was their offense for the bulk of his way too short career. I often wondered what his career would have been if the Steelers would have drafted him. If Mitchell isn’t in the HOF he should be. Mitchell and Franco Harris was one badass backfields.

Great conversation by TB and Franco. Sad that Franco passed two days before the 50th anniversary of the immaculate reception - a half century ago, hard to believe it's been that long. Franco took good care of himself, so I'm wondering if all the years of being a running back and the hits to his body did so much damage that it resulted in his early passing.

Mom says.. hey that is Terry Bradshaw.. know the the name because I hear it every Sunday when grandma Mary Lou is yelling at the TV. Calling him every name in the book that Jesus would not like. Mom says to go say hi to Terry.. so .. I did.. and I said as a polite 6 year old "HI, Are you Terry Bradshaw?" and he said .. Yes.. How are you little Buddy? or something like that and shook my hand.

Here is different angle. Tatum and Atkinson were head hunters. They were much more interested in hurting players then making a football play. If Tatum makes a football play as opposed to try to be head Fuqua the ball doesn't get to Harris. But... It's been fun for 50 years because of Franco Harris and many others.

I’ll always remember being in Las Vegas in the mid-Seventies. I had a superstition before sitting down at the blackjack table in Vegas to go to the hotel spa first and get a manicure, something I would never do at home. So, I go in for my ritual manicure and the young lady asks if I would like a pedicure also, something I have never had before or since. Before I can tell her I would never consider such a sissy thing, I look to my right and two chairs down, there sits Franco Harris having a pedicure! I immediately say “Hell yes, let’s do it”!, I figured if it’s manly enough for Franco, it’s manly enough for me! I’ll never forget his chuckle and that sweet smile of his when he heard me say it.

Without Franco, Bradshaw does not win 4 Super Bowls. Where is the proof? Remember 1976 season? Franco missed the AFC Championship (1977) in Oakland (losing 24-7) due to being injured the previous week (beating Baltimore 40-14). Rocky Bleier was also injured, but Franco was the man.
