Not a Steelers fan. Just wanted to show my respect.

Me neither, but he was one of the greats.

Damn. Steelers fan here but unfortunately never had the pleasure of meeting him. My mother got to meet him once at a speaking event. She said he was a very down to earth, friendly and humble guy. RIP.

I think the Steelers are planning a big homage to the Immaculate Reception on Christmas Eve when the raiders come to the banks of the 3 rivers. 50 year anniversary

RIP in peace

Yeah there's going to be some sort of celebration. A lot more somber now. Though it's the 50 year anniversary

Watched an interesting clip about the "Immaculate Reception" a while back and remember the head Ref asking the head of security right after the play, that hadn't been called a TD yet "How many officers can you give me to escort us off the field"..the answer was 3....Head ref said "3!! That's it??? TOUCHDOWN"
