Alex Karras was a larger than life character. I believe he was number 3 on the ballot for the Heisman as a defensive lineman. Played 12 yrs in the NFL. If you've never read 'Paper Lion' by George Plimpton, give it a read. (or rent the movie) I grew up watching him play. RIP
RIP...
I don't need to read the book...
I watched it happen. ;)

He was a very well spoken and intelligent man. That brief video clip speaks volumes about who he was. Forget football... he was much more than that. [bow_down]
