Remembering Franco Harris | Not Just Football

[@jimmy1154]

The ultimate hometown hero. Imagine having a statue of yourself at your city's airport while you were still alive.

[@ronaldcalvert3982]

Franco Harris was football and will be missed. When you thought of football in the NFL, you thought of Franco Harris. Rest in peace God bless and condolences to your family will be missed!

This man was more than we know… as I am an older man and at 10 years old I saw something for the first time in my life. White men and women were claiming a black man as one of them!!! Franco’s Italian Army. At that time period and before if you were 1/16 black you were considered black. So as a young boy I thought not so Franco’s Italian Army. HE’S OURS!! But in all as I sit back and see the big picture it was a foreshadowing of things to come. STEELER NATION!! All colors shapes and sizes getting along living together at home and on the road for one cause, THE BLACK & GOLD. Christians should live in such harmony and focus!! (And they will and much more ❤️) So let’s thank this man and the rest of the 70’s Steelers for so much more than just being a football player that made the Best play in NFL history. He made the way for the GREATEST FANBASE IN NFL HISTORY!! Thank you Franco #STEELERNATIONUNITE #SteelersNation

You need a history lesson🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Italian isn't white! I can't say what I really wanna say cuz I'll get banned! STOP BRINGING RACE INTO EVERYTHING!! HFS!

[@nickhlawka7073]

Excellent interview. Franco is a very charming, humble man. Im glad the decision was made to air this after he passed away.

[@danjacobson9476]

Love that last line Franco got to say to Heyward, "you still wouldn't of touched me".

[@Phan-Xu]

This interview is just hours before his death! Rest In Power Franco IMMACULATE FOREVER!!!

[@martinrobbins1207]

This is the best of all the programs and special broadcasts in the wake of Franco's passing. Thank you! Cam. God bless you, Franco.

[@3ddiagnosis654]

He was dealing with a cold or something on this iconic interview. 32 we love you.🖤💛

[@smyers3423]

The fact that this is the day before just makes this painful to watch. This is just brutal. Please let Saturday end with a win in honor of Franco. RIP you absolute legend.

[@zackhicks5320]

So you’ll be upset if they lose on Saturday? Somethings are WAY bigger than football. Grow up

[@lmargaret6342]

@@zackhicks5320 It is obvious that you don't know Pittsburgh. Shame on you.

[@lmargaret6342]

Well, the Steelers won the game. I bet Franco is happy in heaven.

[@zackhicks5320]

@@lmargaret6342 that makes no sense. So you’re saying in Pittsburgh they would get upset over not winning rather than respecting a man who died? That’s crazy

[@geraldjohnson7937]

Franco Harris, humble guy. RIP Franco!

[@jeffreykress3505]

Very sad at 1:30 when Franco says that after 50 years he's still around to enjoy it. He's obviously congested/ill during this interview. So incredibly sad that Franco passed away, especially the timing of it. He deserved to enjoy the honor of the moment of having his number 32 retired, which was only four days away. Franco will always be loved and remembered, not just for the Hall Of Fame football player he was, but also for the great man he was. Rest in peace, Franco. 🙏 🏈 🖤 💛

[@decacards5250]

Cam actually looks like a young Franco. Franco always had the perfect beard. RIP Franco.

[@lpn8585]

This makes me happy and sad at the same time,

[@NancyO1]

Franco was an extraordinary athlete, and more importantly he was a genuinely nice man. Kind, generous. Rest in peace Franco and my prayers for all his loved ones. 💖🙏💖

[@the_red_wolf6196]

And i cry. Thank you for releasing this interview Cam, we all need it to heal

[@ralphgreenjr.2466]

What Franco did for me. I am 73, I grew up in Youngstown, Ohio, a diehard Steeler fan. My Mom's family had immigrated from Poland to Pittsburgh, so being a Steeler fan was a natural. Life in Youngstown was hard considering the Browns were great and the Steelers sucked sewer water. I ate a lot of $hit from Browns fans twice a year. The Steelers were not bad, they were non competitive. Then came Chuck Noll, Joe Green, Terry Bradshaw, Dwight White, Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, Jack Lambert Rocky Beiler........................and Franco Harris. All of a sudden we didn't stink anymore, we were Super Bowl Champions, again, again, and again. I met Franco by chance, I was in the 82n Airborne in uniform and he was in town on business. I went up to him to introduce myself and thank him and the Steelers, instead he thanked me for my service! Franco thanking me, imagine that.

[@jameshuseby6290]

That was really great of him but when you put it in perspective he was right! Thank you for your service Sir!

[@frankrice6935]

Franco sounds sick just doing the interview. Sad Day for Pittsburgh Steelers Fans all over the WORLD 🌍.... Great Show Cam Keep pushing them Younger Players give everything you got plus a little more.

[@ulfthegoon]

RIP Franco Harris. The Italian Army forever! Still in disbelief. Great job with the interview. Rocky Bleier was also a key piece to the offensive dimension of these great teams!

[@allencoles7661]

A huge THANK YOU to Cameron for this interview. And the Steelers for today's win. RIP 32

[@jimmyperez9223]

Damn, man was so excited for the anniversary. Let's go Steelers, win for Franco

[@earlvannatter8093]

This is so sad but beautiful at the same time. I can’t imagine how motivated the Steelers are to win this game.

[@JustSturgis]

My heart breaks for the Harris family, for the Steelers family and for myself. He was my childhood hero. Tonight's game was incredible. I can't believe he was only there in spirit. One of the best game experiences I've ever had. I know he is looking down on the Nation right now! We love you Franco! #steelersnation

[@gpowellish1]

RIP Franco, you were the best man.

[@joylewis9593]

What an awesome man. Rest Easy in Heaven Mr Harris.

[@shellyannrichards6565]

This is truly awesome... wow. RIP Sir Franco Harris

[@philjohnson4329]

Thank you, Cam. Grew up a Steelers fan in the 70’s. Named my beagle Franco. So many emotions and memories. I cried when I heard the news of his passing. Wonderful to see you carry his number during team the team introductions.

[@j.evanwade]

Just terrible, sad timing; treasure every moments folks, from bad to good, as we don't know when our time will come. Franco was a true legend, an unrivaled ambassador for the Steelers... and Humanity. May he rest in peace.

[@rickmooney5931]

God bless ya Cam.. can't be easy, you are also a true Steeler

[@carloscarreno9362]

God bless Franco Harris 🙏🏼🏈

[@vatiammatri2660]

Bless you and thank you Cam for this interview and for carrying on Steeler traditions. You're a class act too. Beautiful interview, I'm just so sorry Franco is gone. What a lovely person who's given so much to football, the Steelers, the city. And yes, those were the days. Magic. A whole city changed overnight. He's right about Steeler teams after theirs keeping up the tradition. We've been so lucky. I'm so sorry for his family, and thank them for sharing him with us for so long. 🙏🖤💛

[@valariesuffern7918]

So glad you shared this with us. A great tribute through his own words. So nice to hear him laugh and see his smile after feeling so sad about his passing. Believing that’s what he is doing in heaven now.

[@russobenstine851]

Steelers present and pasts legends two class guys both on the field and off the field they do much for others nonstop! RIP Franco thanks for the memories and igniting a 4 Super Bowl run😢😢

[@dillwidit]

sooo perfect he got to give this interview beforehand 🙏 he at least got to speak on it 🙏. Cam had to be hit hard. soo sad He definitely showed up and showed out in that game tho. hopefully he maintains it! go Steelers!

[@dorisway2085]

My condolences to the Harris Family and the Steelers what a great player he was and in the 70 the Steelers became my team even until this day die hart Black and school bus yellow RIP.

[@lifelongfan07]

Cam, thank you so much!….Love the banter! I was 7 or 8 when I saw the 77 Steelers. IMO that was the best I ever saw them.

[@jaylolee7030]

I loved this interview. I wonder if we will ever know what happened to him. I too noticed the congestion. Maybe the past month was just too much stress for him to handle. RIP dear Franco🙏!

[@aaronstansberry2545]

Watching him with less than 24 hours to live,makes me feel weird. Sickning!

[@boerieroll]

Franco a great man in everyway. I hope the Steelers learn their lesson and honour their greats while they are still alive to take part in the ceremony. Starting with 58!!!

A Buckeye tribute to a Penn State Hall of famer both Steelers legends...........

[@Komainu959]

01:30 😢😭 So sad! But he had a great life and while I never had the honor to meat him a friend of mine got to take a picture with him when they happened to meet him in a bar. Said he was super nice and posed for pictures with a bunch of people.

[@nathanieldavis5231]

Only jersey I owned no 32 ,black n gold. RIP BROTHER.

Great interview, and great to see Franco so animated to the end...but he was apparently very sick. He appears very congested. Has there been an autopsy to determine cause yet?

[@ColetteNasielski-k2l]

GO FRANKO GO

[@RavenTD46]

Go get a win Steelers from this Ravens fan.

[@donerb3544]

Most people don't realize after the Steelers he played for the Seahawks

[@briangregory6303]

Damn, Franco was ill.

[@axelfoley3995]

The news of his death was shocking to say the least. This podcast at least let's us see that he absolutely had some kind of respiratory ailment. So sad this great man passed on.

He was obviously congested with some sort of cold.I wonder if he had COVID.

[@jeanniesowers6475]

I thought the same thing! RIP Franco for the memories! 😭

[@markgraff8326]

Congestion maybe due to heart condition

[@kevinbunker7124]

Sadly, Two shows on FS1 (FSF/ Herd) cannot even report on his death.. classless and despicable

[@markhuru]

Covid?

[@CheetahSnowLeopard]

that's a healthy man I'm looking at on the screen and I don't mean just Cam. I just don't get it.

[@greenhometony]

People keep saying he seems sick, I'm not seeing it..... mild sniffles not ill.

[@ekim0513]

Sad that this great player succumbed to the evil elite and promoted and took the clot shot

[@Michael-xl4xs]

R.I.P FRANCO

[@MrBojangles110]

Thank you Cam, and thank you Franco (🪦) for doing this incredible segment. I really appreciate how at about the 34:00 mark, Franco explains why he ran out of bounds. He said he'd already moved the chains - why would he plant his knee for maybe another yard or two when guys are spearing at them? He instead went OOB at an angle where that would've been way more unlikely to happen. And loved how he went into his conditioning and always making sure he was better than the opposing player in the 4th quarter. Smart guy. Humble guy. Class act. Best of the best. That's why he's the first offensive player (and 3rd) in Steelers history to be having his jersey retired. RIP Mr. Franco Harris. The outpouring of love in the last 48 hours shows how much you meant to a whole lot of people. 🙏🥹
