    RIP Alex Karras, you gotta love the guy


    Suspended a year for association w/ gamblers in '63
    'Mongo only pawn in game of life' in a great '70s movie that lampoons both westersn and racism
    Puts his hand on Howard Cosells head on MNF and moves his toupee around on the air
    Takes out a horse in a single punch
    Professional Wrestler
    Major character in George Plimptons "Paper Lion".

    If that ain't a full life, albeit a rough one, I don't know what is.


    This is a Steeler related topic, since Karras played against the Steelers and broadcast MNF game when the Steelers were on.

    "Mongo like candy!"
    If memory serves, he also won an emmy for playing the husband in a movie about Babe Zaharias.
