​

Watching this play still gives me goosebumps. RIP to Franco Harris, the man who gave us this indelible moment in NFL history.
My condolences to the Harris family.
Franco Harris came from a different era of Football.
Some of us are old enough to remember a different NFL: images of muddy, bloodied players, taped up broken fingers, taped, wrapped shoes, forearm pads used as clubs, missing front teeth. Underpaid. Used up, then discarded. Sad really. But they didn’t disrespect the flag or take a knee.
Unlike many of today's players who don't grasp the concept that if professional sports disappeared tomorrow...life for the rest of us would go on just fine.

Love him. Genuine and funny guy and his wife is lovely. My best to his family. Flying outa Pittsburg soon… gonna leave a tribute. Will upload a pic

People die when they are old

What magic feature do you suppose aging athletes have that the rest of us don’t other than ravaging their bodies for a living?

People die when they are old

Bet he died from an ‘aneurysm’, heart attack, or stroke. Bet he was feeling great until that happened. People die when they’re old and sick, but that didn’t mean a damn when you idiots were losing your minds over a flu. So you can shove it up your ass.

Yep. Franco was an AMERICAN.

No.
I’ve had four shots as have billions. At that rate, if there were said complications, we would all know.
Most old people die in the same way.

 

[Doc7505]

Why are we seeing all of these sudden unexplained deaths?....

~~~~~~
I was thinking the same question. Was it te Pfizer or Moderna mRNA vaccine he received?

Again. What about an aging athlete's constitution makes them particularly vulnerable?

Right wingers have to ruin everything with their idiotic conspiracy theories.

So?

After 72 years living and a career in pro football, you think he was perfectly healthy?

This should be easy. They don’t dispute his authority.

Cmon, doc. Spell it out.

 

[Doc7505]

Cmon, doc. Spell it out.

There's nothing to spell out. Franco died suddenly and the only way to the truth is an autopsy. Will the family agree to an autopsy? Why don't you ask them?

He was old. No doubt concussed to a fault.

Fake news?
Seriously, doc?
