What took them so long? Just sad that he doesn't get to enjoy his day.

I heard Franco did a radio interview a few hours before passing.

Rest In Peace

Pittsburgh doesn't really retire numbers. There are only two officially retired numbers, Ernie Stautner and Joe Greene. Franco is going to make it three.

I get it, just a shame they waited so long.

Same thing with us and Bobby Mitchell.

@ GB

If they lose to Carolina they are done because I think the bears and packers can beat them.

Any given Sunday I suppose...but considering they already beat the Packers and the Bears, I wouldn't necessarily count on it.

Loved the 70’s Steelers and they’re legendary backfield of Franco Harris, Rocky Bleier and Frenchie Fuqua. RIP Franco, loved watching you play.


In fourth grade i did an oral book report about Rocky Bleier. He was missing a toe, I believe it happened in Viet Nam? Too lazy to fact check myself. Its crazy that Franco died almost to the day of the immaculate reception and on the verge of the Steelers retiring his number. Should have been done years ago though.

He was injured by grenade blasts, a true hero badass.

Pack playing alot better ball last few weeks. Ever since the Dallas comeback. Rodgers seems to actually give a shit again. I don’t wanna rely on Detroit losing. We just gotta win.
