one of the best and funniest interviews of all time...i heard him talk about the game against the New Orleans Saints when Tom Dempsey kicked the record for the longest field goal in NFL history which stood for a long time at 59 yards...Dempsey, you may remember, had half a foot...

Karas said, “most guys limp off the field near the end of the game- this guy limped onto the field...we all just stood around and said, the hell with it- if he makes it good for him, and it went through the uprights”...

"We know Alex first and foremost as one of the cornerstones to our Fearsome Foursome defensive line of the 1960s and also as one of the greatest defensive linemen to ever play in the NFL," Lewand said,

I loved Karras, why isn't he on dialysis?

Oh and BTW, IDK who this Lewand a--hole is, but the only "Fearsome Foursome of the sixties" was the Front Four for the Los Angeles Rams: Rosie Grier, Lamar Lundy, Deacon Jones, and Merlin Olsen.

That's the end of that story right there.

not just a great football player but I really loved his acting. His role as George Zaharias in Babe (the story of Babe Didrickson Zaharias) was one of the best preformances I have ever seen
