he was a great man. i actually met him twice. But now that he is gone, can we all agree that the ball touched John Fuqua, and thus was a double touch, which was not allowed in the NFL at the time (that came before the 1973 season that they changed the rule to justify that call). And thus should have put Harris down where he caught the ball, and thus no TD and thus Raiders win....

But back to the real subject, a great man. and the football world lost a great ambassador
