This one hurts. One of my all-time favorites. Franco Harris passed away at 72.

I hated the Steelers as a kid. But respected them once I got to be an adult given what they accomplished...but still dislike them..the hate runs deep. . Great player for many things but will always be known for the immaculate reception.

Franco use to come to Charlotte for business and would play pickup hoops at the downtown Y. I had the misfortune of trying to guard that mountain of a man of several occasions. Was a nice guy.
