So it was amazing that I had this wave of common sense that came over me and allowed me to not do this really stupid thing that I was contemplating. And so I get in my car, and I'm about to start driving. All of a sudden, I look. A Silver Honda Pilot right in front of me. Franco Harris is getting into his car. So I thought maybe he was just paying respects. He's going to go home. He's a busy man.

He's like the mayor of Pittsburgh, basically. And now he's in his car. He's getting in the funeral procession. So I get in my car, and I try and get wedged in between so I can now be directly behind Franco Harris. Why? It mattered that I was right behind Frank O'Hara's car in a funeral procession. I don't know why it was so important to me.

But I was willing to bang into other cars and stuff so I could be in the line right behind him. Obviously, once you're in the funeral procession, you're locked into that position. Nobody is going to be in back of Frank O'Hara's besides me. And so I'm so excited. I'm calling my friends. I'm like, his license plate is X175.

And I'm like so into the idea that I'm in the funeral possession behind Franco Harris. It's ridiculous. And I'm 50-something years old. So stupid. But I can't help it because it's like I'm a 10-year-old again. And so we get to the cemetery. He parks. I park right behind him. He walks right there to the gravesite service. And I'm like, oh. So I stand right next to him.

And at this point, it's weird, right? I mean, it's just so ridiculous that I'm following this man around. So I'm standing next to Franco Harris. And finally, I'm like, OK, grow up. Say something. You want to say something, say it. So I look at him. I go, Franco. I have to tell you. And I start telling him how I know him. And I said, you know, Max was a very good friend of ours.

And you have no idea how much you affected my life. You changed my life. That was my identity. I said, Max was my hero. But you were also my hero. And you have no idea how much you affected my life. You were like my hero. And he goes... Come here. And he hugs me with this big bear hug. And he's a big man. He's got these big bear hands. And I'm like, this is unbelievable.

I'm catapulted to when I was 10 years old. Literally, I'm sure I had a dream. Not at the funeral, but I'm sure I had a dream about hanging out with Franco Harris. And over the past few years,
