Mongo is Gone
The news is just across the wire, Alex Karras has passed away at the age of 77. He was one of my favorite players. I became a Lions fan after seeing the George Plimpton movie "Paper Lion", and Karras was memorable in that film. (I still have this football card). He went on to an acting career, which included a starring role in the television series "Webster", but his most memorable moment was this one in the Mel Brooks classic "Blazing Saddles"...
