So I went to my hotel to have lunch with a friend today. Lo and behold I walk past this handsome, tall gentleman. I look up and I can’t believe who it is.
Of course, I say his name out loud and he stops and looks over like….this woman actually knows who I am? Of course I do…..1969 is a FOOTBALL JUNKIE. And we are not talking about any regular football player….oh no….like I said, this is a living legend. Other than this year’s Superbowl catch by D.avid Tyr.ee (GO GIANTS), this gentleman is responsible for arguably the greatest catch in Superbowl history. He is a hall of famer and played for one of the greatest dynasties in sports. THANK GOD I HAD MY CAMERA!
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you…..me and Mr. Franco Harris.
How jealous is Mr. 1969 right about now? LOL

BK….I talked to him for 20 minutes. He was Mr. 1969’s older brother’s roommate at Penn State. I asked him if he knew him, he said “Of course, that’s my man!”
He gave me his card to give to my brother in law….small world.

As a Cowboys fan ya know I’m a Steelers hater, but I respect Franco and what he did on the field. Definitely one of my all time favorite RB’s. The hustler in me wants to ask if you got his autograph on something… ya know, to sell on eBay later… lol.
