This is my penance. Call me Sally and kick me in the nuts. So, I'm sitting at the local VFW having a cold one and watching Wheel of Fortune. It's a football celebrity setup and the two that I recognize are Bob Griese and Franco Harris. Argument ensues where I proclaim that Lynn Swann caught the famous pass and not Franco Harris. A particular Lady Auxiliary member upon hearing the discourse challenges me on the veracity of my assertion. After a short, heated discussion she hands me her cell phone and says, "Ask him!". So I ask. The voice on the other end says, "I did!". "Who's I?", says me. "Franco Harris! Who are you?". I reply stating that its impossible that he's who he claims to be because I'm watching Franco on Wheel of Fortune right now. He chuckles and we banter back and forth for a few more minutes. I hand the phone back to the Lady Auxiliary member (who it turns out works for him, DOH!), suitably humiliated. Yes, I had my ass handed to me Big League.

About three years ago I almost got in a fight with two local yokels and a cashier in the parking lot of a Ralphs in Oakland. Seems like they are all still crying and whining about the beautiful catch and following run by Mr. Harris. Also telling them that if Jack Tatum wouldn't have closed his eyes like a sissy queer before hitting Frenchy he might have been able to snag that pass seemed to get them a tad bit agitated. Fags. Steelers Rule!!!!!!!!! Trashcan |
