I don't follow the NFL as much as I did as a kid, but the Steelers is the team I call my favorite team (although the Chiefs are fun to watch).

<p>So why the trip down memory lane?  Franco Harris has passed.  <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/nfl-legend-franco-harris-known-immaculate-reception-dead">RIP Franco</a>.</p>

<p>I am shocked! Being a long time born and raised Pittsburgh fan, I had the pleasure to meet him in Hawaii in the mid 70’s. Such a gracious and humble man. My 6 year old son wouldn’t get out of the car and Franco went over and coaxed him out to throw a couple. The next day, the host of the party dropped by my house with a signed football from Franco Harris. My son still has it. RIP Franco.</p>
