In fourth grade i did an oral book report about Rocky Bleier. He was missing a toe, I believe it happened in Viet Nam? Too lazy to fact check myself. Its crazy that Franco died almost to the day of the immaculate reception and on the verge of the Steelers retiring his number. Should have been done years ago though.

He was injured by grenade blasts, a true hero badass.

Yes. Its all coming back to me now. Its weird I picked a Steeler. Was already a big Skins fan at that point. Probably just couldn’t find any books about a Redskin in the late 70’s in our little public school library. Lol.
