He and George Washington alone share statues at the arrival terminal of Pittsburgh International Airport.

Now that's an honor.

2) Make the most amazing catch that will on in infamy and die days before its 50th anniversary celebration

Infamy?

I was a fervent Jets and Giants fan through thick and thin (lots of things🙄😐) but I also liked the Steelers, back in the days of the Steel Curtain. Especially sad coming up on the 50 anniversary of the Immaculate Reception. RIP

And Tatum, who put the momentum on the ball to get it to Harris. Otherwise, it would have fallen far short of Harris.

As a 10 year old Raider fan.....the ball bounced off Fuqua... RIP Harris ...

The still from the ancient video shows the ball bounced off Tatum's shoulder, which always made sense physically since Tatum's momentum was needed to bounce the ball that far. I was never sure if Franco caught it in the air or on the hop, though, and Franco was always coy about it IIRC. Man, I feel old today....

Franco Harris was used by CDC to promote Covid-19 shot they call vaccine.  Oh, happened to get injected by real Covid-19 deadly shot instead of saline.  He got all the shots and boosters, now he's dead!
