Franco as a Raider fan you broke my heart when you caught that ball and you're broke it again when you passed away this year rest in peace you were a Class Act
Very disappointed that they didn't play the whole tribute on live tv. Hopefully, someone at the stadium recorded it and will post it. RIP Franco. A legend and even more than that.
Fucking joke because the sponsors mean more to them then the legends who built their league into what it is today for a fraction of the pay that these bums get now
I watched that game 50 years ago. I, a real Raiders fans, was heartbroken when the Immaculate Reception happened. As a sports fan (and 1/2 Italian like Franco) accepted long ago what a truly great play it was. Thank you, Franco and RIP….
@@MaloPiloto Lee, what I also remember about this game is that it was the last playoff game of a great Quarterback, Daryl Lamonica, and when Coach Madden did the change, I remember the announcer saying how George Blanda could see great things in store for the Quarterback being brought in, Ken Stabler. Ken Stabler, late in the 4th Quarter of this game ran 30 yards for a touchdown, and the Raiders had the lead 7-6. Ken Stabler, became the starting Quarterback for the Oakland Raiders, and he was good. Yes, thank you Franco Harris, and even Terry Bradshaw, both of these men gave us some great games against the Raiders for years after this one.
@@TruthLivesNow Lamonica passed this year as well. I started watching football in elementary school only when I found out Franco was half Italian. He was something special. RIP Franco.
It can not be overstated how huge of an impact Franco Harris was, is, and always will be to the city of Pittsburgh, Steelers Nation, the Rooney family and to Franco's family. He is a pillar of the community and the foundation to which the standard is built. My condolences to the family. Thank you Franco, rest up buddy, we got this #32 forever
We long time Packer fans can understand where you are coming from. We had Bart Starr. He was to Green Bay and the whole of Wisconsin what Franco Harris is to you: incredible player and outstanding citizen who gave back so much.
Never have I been a Steeler fan but I respected them for what they accomplished and how they carried themselves, you can keep your Patriot dynasty, your Cowboys, and your 49ers. Growing up as a Browns fan and still am to this day, the days of Sipe and Kosar are but distant memories. The Steelers of the 70’s are by far the best teams I have ever seen. Franco you will be missed not just by Steeler fans but also this Browns fan as well.
A Steeler fan who grew up in Shaker Hts in the 70's and will never forget the rivalry games that were like wars. The Browns gave the Steelers all they could handle and I dared not wear the Black.n Gold to school on a Monday after the Steelers won on a Sunday. I think all football fans need to know what type of class act Franco was and all he did for the city of Pitt. Franco will be greatly missed.
I’m in your boat as a lifelong Browns fan. I had a brother who was a huge Steelers fan and he’s gone now so I watched last nights game as a homage to his fandom. I am also old enough to have watched the Immaculate Reception live on tv in 1972. As we all know it happened on a Saturday afternoon. The controversy that ensued didn’t really set in until years later. It was a once in a lifetime play because we were not yet in the age of instant replay and having dozens of hi-def cameras capturing every play on the field of play. In many respects it really was miraculous because it defies a definitive conclusion/beyond a shadow of a doubt due to the instruments being used. Strike it up to the fog of war and how it gave rise to the creation of a legend. The cruel twist of fate that played out last week was Franco’s untimely death and how it robbed ALL football fans of a podium moment that was 50 years in the making. Rest In Peace Franco Harris. 🙏🏻🥇🏆 🇮🇹 🏈
I am not much of a fan of the steelers, but there is no way I can hate this. May God bless this man and hope everyone enjoys there Christmas and enjoy the time you have left with your loved ones.
Thank you, things like this are bigger than the game we love. Seeing sports pages purposely avoid showing tribute to an nfl legend just because he’s a Steeler sickened me. We showed massive respect to Madden, as well as the ravens alumni they lost recently. The sport can be put to the side no matter the rivalry for a moment of respect.
I guess Coach Noll and Mike Webster needed him up there more than this crazy world here!! Great Tribute!! Let's hope they win tonight for his "ITALIAN ARMY"!!
The man who made the immaculate reception is now in the hands of the immaculate conception. RIP, Franco on this Christmas morning. You gave everyone here on this earth some great memories.
That was amazing. I'm a lifelong Cowboys fan and the Steelers were our nemeses back then. But that got me choked up. Much respect to Franco Harris. Excellent tribute from Terry Bradshaw.
Agreed. I'm also a life-long Cowboys fan and remember the games between the two teams as being some of the best in NFL history even if the Cowboys frequently came out on the losing end. It was because players like Mr. Harris, who never quit playing with all that he had until the clock ran out, that the games became so memorable. Well, my belief is that Mr. Harris never stopped living until his clock finally ran out. May God bless you and your family, Mr. Harris.
Though I am in no way a Steelers fan, this tribute bought a tear to my eye. I love football. I love those that play the game. Franco, through that one play, helped bring a dynasty, along with the rest of the team, to a city that had been suffering. RIP Mr. Harris...and thank you for playing the real beautiful game.
Franco and Terry were my mom's favorite players on the Pittsburgh Steelers. She was a big Steelers fan even though we were from NY. While she never met Franco or any of her other favorite sports stars from any sport, perhaps she finally got to meet Franco in the afterlife. May God rest their souls.
Long time Cowboys fan (1966) but do I ever remember watching this game. Respect to Mr. Bradshaw, Mr. Harris, The Rooney family and the entire Steeler nation! You have made the NFL so exciting, especially the last 50 years.
That tribute to Franco Harris it’s absolutely beautiful. I can’t believe he’s gone he’s going to be missed but he will never be forgotten. Long live number 32. Terry Bradshaw is absolutely class to honor Franco Harris. Franco may you rest in peace sir. As an Eagles fan.
Nicely done, Terry Bradshaw.....on narrating the 1972 Immaculate Reception Highlight and especially, paying tribute to your teammate, buddy and legendary HOF RB Franco Harris. RIP, Franco. #32. 😥🙏🙏🙏✌🏈🖤💛
Man, I was 23 years-young and I will NEVER forget that game and 'THE IMMACULATE RECEPTION!' RIP Franco. Nice tribute Terry, and I remember you doing a pretty darn good job leading that Steeler offense.
In the 1970's Franco Harris was it. As a kid growing up in the 70's he was the one my friends and I copied when we played football. He had High Character and Humble as can be. Rest In Peace MR. HARRIS 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Franco the city was thankful but ur here with us we love u miss u and wish u were here but tonight ur in our hearts soul and minds always Love u always
No words can describe the Gentleman the city of Pittsburgh has lost! He was everything to the Steel City and the Steel City loved him back! We lost a great human being and great family man. Rest in Heaven peacefully Mr. Franco Harris… 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I think that was my first memory of NFL football and I believe I was listening to the game on the radio with my dad in the car. Even though I'm a Detroit Lions fan the Steelers are my second favorite team. RIP Franco Harris and that was a very nice tribute to Harris!
I'm not the biggest Pittsburgh Steeler fan I shouldn't even be leaving a comment but this is absolutely one of the best sports videos I will watch all week long
Those four Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were some of the most complete teams ever. Hall of famers in the backfield, offensive line, definsive line, linebackers and defensive backs. Just dominant teams. And Franco Harris was a beloved component of all that.
For Franco to depart on the 50th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception is symbolic. There is another Immaculate Reception in Heaven for ol number 32 . This I know is true.
Where is a box of tissue when I need one? As I get older, I find that my heroes leave me! It’s all about family, and Franco was family! Rest in Peace Franco! 🙏🏼
Mr. Bradshaw, what a great tribute to one of our many great players who created some Amazing Memories as well as you did. The fact that you wrote this tribute makes it even more special! Well written with great Love and feeling. From my family to yours, Merry Christmas and God Bless! From NW Pennsylvania, A Forever Pittsburgh Steelers Fan!!!
I remember this game - I'd just moved to a new city and really didn't hang with friends, but watched this game... what a miracle game... and for him to pass at age 72, this happening in 1972 ... is it really FIFTY years ago ? And so much winning followed for the Steelers there for several years after the dearth that preceded...
goddamn man i wasnt even fuckin alive for like 50 years before the damn catch and that had me near tears. Im really glad Terry didnt break down, you could tell it was welling up but finishing it with that smile really gave warmth to the message that, we love you Franco!
Being with him all those years behind you as the QB and winning the Super Bowl 4 times while you are in the backfield. I don't care who you are that will get to you emotionally.
The Steelers beat my Vikings four days before my birth, but I still have the utmost respect for the Steel Curtain. They seem like good men without an ounce of arrogance but were humble, hardscrabble men like the Vikings. Wonderful remembrance from Terry , thank you. And, Franco, may you rest in peace.🙏😪🇺🇲❤🏈
I absolutely love this, thank you Mr. Bradshaw, heartfelt tribute to a legend ❤❤❤ I was just four years old when this all happened , still wearing my black and gold proudly here in Fairbanks, AK. Much love to my forever hometown. Franco we love you and will be missed more than I can express.
Franco didn't like other players talking about Terry Bradshaw. He layed into Hollywood Henderson for running his mouth about Terry. Franco was a Baaad Man. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Meet Terry Bradshaw when I lived in Pittsburgh and was a waitress. A truly nice guy , a funny guy and Terry you did really well when you tributed your friend.
As a junior in high school I loved the Raiders and this made me sick. Now, 50 years later, I am so grateful that it it turned out like it did. Some things are just meant to be.
In 1979 got to meet a bunch of NFL Stars in Okinawa, Japan including Franco Harris, Terry Bradshaw, Roger Staubach, Mean Joe Green, Ed 'Too Tall' Jones, Harvey Martin, Tom Landry, and others with the Cheerleaders from 5 different teams. One of the Cowboy Cheerleaders I knew from High School and across the street from my parents home. I just remembered her as the scrawny little girl across the street and down two houses.
The mid 60's and mid 70's are going on 60 and 50 years ago. So many incredible people from then in sports and music and everything in between are much older now and are now lining up to go to a better place after living amazing lives. R.I.P. to all as they go to the light of Heaven now and in the future.
It says a lot about the legend. "The Raiders gave chase but not one could catch Franco. Not Tatum, not Warren, not Villapiano!". Hero's get remembered. Legends never die. Long live Franco Harris!
Terry- you've always had a way with words and that was beautiful. I'm so glad that the Steelers retired Franco's number last night. I remember watching that game. Football is made up of a lot of magical moments. RIP Franco Harris.
Franco Harris was a great player and great person! He will be missed!! May he Rest In Peace. I am sending my prayers to his entire family. God bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
You guys were my favorite team in those days; just loved it when you stuck to those Cowboys. Watched that game on the tube and will always remember that one
My grandpa played semipro football for Art Rooney. They knew each other for 60 years. The Steelers were how Grandma and bonded. Grandpa was at The Immaculate Reception game. It's just the perfect moment. Hell, I had it as a bedtime story growing up! Franco, thank you for all you did as a player, and more importantly, as a human. Franco made it better for many people.
I was a live-and-die 8 year old, Texas-born Dallas Cowboy (and Houston Oiler) fan in ‘72. The Immaculate Reception was an interesting play, but…who were these “Steelers?” Of course, in the few years to come, I grew to HATE everything black and gold…even other black and gold teams, in any sport! But a funny thing eventually happened, Bradshaw retired. I knew pretty instantly that the greatest era of NFL football had all but ended. The rivalries of the ‘70s is what made that era special. With the departures of Bradshaw, Harris, Swan, Lambert, Greene, Blier, and company, the NFL, as I’d known it, had faded away. So I’m commenting now to say that, with the passing of Franco Harris (one of the most feared running backs in the NFL’s history), I now feel, more than ever, a brotherhood with all fans of the NFL’s greatest decade, including fans of the Steelers (the first team the Cowboys ever beat…in ‘61. Sorry, I had to say it! And I still don’t like the colors, btw. 😉 haha) RIP FRANCO HARRIS God bless y’all, Steeler nation!
They're here for such a short time: warriors of the gridiron, giving their awe on the field of battle. And in a certain moment in time they give us that special play that immortalizes them for eternity. Franco, thank you for giving the game and fans years of
His memory be eternal. Franco is now in the Lords Gallery where he is telling our Lord how the play happened and thanking God for his intervention. We love you Franco. Rest in Peace.

Classy comment 👏🏻
Why, oh why, did the NFL Network cut away from the halftime video tribute retiring Franco’s jersey? Inexcusable!
Very disappointed that they didn't play the whole tribute on live tv. Hopefully, someone at the stadium recorded it and will post it. RIP Franco. A legend and even more than that.
Fucking joke because the sponsors mean more to them then the legends who built their league into what it is today for a fraction of the pay that these bums get now
I found it very disrespectful and hope the network looses subscribers. Shameful.
Because NFL Network hates the Steelers.

That was a class act Mr. Bradshaw. We Steeler fans loved Franco for sure. Thank you so much for your tribute.

This was a hell of a tribute. Couldn’t have picked a better individual to give the tribute to Franco Harris than Terry Bradshaw. FRANCO Harris was him
Man you can tell he’s really holding back tears, so sad
I don't think he was holding them back myself.
He’s doing better than me.
It's kinda sad because Bradshaw has always been a little two-faced .... said many times he loved being a Steeler but hated playing in Pittsburgh
@@tommitchell4570 That's not surprising. I think many Pittsburgh fans would understand that.
@@michaelfalkner1186 how can you hate a place that treated you like a hero for winning four Super Bowls? Bradshaw is a whiner and ingrate.
That’s a real cash money tribute. RIP Franco
Nothing more to say rest in peace
What the hell does that mean
@@jonspengler5891 it means Bradshaw's touching words were worth their weight in pure cash
It can not be overstated how huge of an impact Franco Harris was, is, and always will be to the city of Pittsburgh, Steelers Nation, the Rooney family and to Franco's family.
He is a pillar of the community and the foundation to which the standard is built. My condolences to the family.

#32 forever
We long time Packer fans can understand where you are coming from. We had Bart Starr. He was to Green Bay and the whole of Wisconsin what Franco Harris is to you: incredible player and outstanding citizen who gave back so much.
Players like Franco Harris and Terry Bradshaw are what made the NFL Great! Forever Franco!
Franco Harris was a special human being .He gave all his time to helping people in his community .Like Terry Bradshaw said he is in a better place .
What a great tribute, R.I.P Franco Harris.
A great Steeler and a great Penn Stater.
Mr. Bradshaw came to speak at my highschool. I got to chat with him for a few mins, a very genuine guy. A true inspiration.

Bears fan here can truly understand what Franco meant to the Steelers and the city of Pittsburgh. R.I.P Franco Harris
Franco was to the Steelers what Sweetness was to the Bears.
And I wish they were both still with us…two of the classiest acts of all time.
The same to you Bears fans..Sweetness was the GOAT…
At least Franco scored touchdowns in Super Bowls --- I always felt sad and angry that Sweetness wasn't allowed that opportunity
Even non-football fans like me can appreciate the sheer awesomeness of the Immaculate Reception.
Though I am in no way a Steelers fan, this tribute bought a tear to my eye. I love football. I love those that play the game.

Awesome tribute. RIP Legend
I was a live-and-die 8 year old, Texas-born Dallas Cowboy (and Houston Oiler) fan in ‘72. The Immaculate Reception was an interesting play, but…who were these “Steelers?” Of course, in the few years to come, I grew to HATE everything black and gold…even other black and gold teams, in any sport! But a funny thing eventually happened, Bradshaw retired. I knew pretty instantly that the greatest era of NFL football had all but ended. The rivalries of the ‘70s is what made that era special. With the departures of Bradshaw, Harris, Swan, Lambert, Greene, Blier, and company, the NFL, as I’d known it, had faded away. So I’m commenting now to say that, with the passing of Franco Harris (one of the most feared running backs in the NFL’s history), I now feel, more than ever, a brotherhood with all fans of the NFL’s greatest decade, including fans of the Steelers (the first team the Cowboys ever beat…in ‘61. Sorry, I had to say it! And I still don’t like the colors, btw. 😉 haha)
RIP FRANCO HARRIS
God bless y’all, Steeler nation!
RIP Franco from my high school. RVRHS. His family lived next door to the school in a pink house.
Very nice tribute to Franco, TB. You guys made such a difference to whole city and region.
They're here for such a short time: warriors of the gridiron, giving their awe on the field of battle. And in a certain moment in time they give us that special play that immortalizes them for eternity. Franco, thank you for giving the game and fans years of
His memory be eternal. Franco is now in the Lords Gallery where he is telling our Lord how the play happened and thanking God for his intervention. We love you Franco. Rest in Peace.
