Does anyone have any memories about Alex Karras?

The first thing I think when I hear AK's name is Webster.

He reminded me of Dick Butkus,,,off the field, the warmest, nicest guy you could ever know..But strap on that helmet and he turned into a crazed wild man, that would do anything, legal or illegal to get the QB oir RB...He was tough as nails, and laid on some devastating licks on opposing players. You would be amazed if you were able to watch him either on TV (for us old folks, or from highlight reels), that he could be nice at all. He would more than likely be in the Hall of Fame, except he was involved with gambling, I can't really remember exactly what it was..I think he, like Pete Rose, bet on football games while he played.

He would have been perfect on the cons team in against the Mean Machine...
