Mr. Karras was probably one of the original teddy bear NFL players. He was a great player and an acceptable actor.

He was smart, kind, funny and generous and gave us all lots of fond memories.

Thank you, Alex. And, may God comfort your loved ones with the knowledge that you were a positive influence on so many people.

He uttered one of the greatest movie lines in all of history, “Mongo only pawn in the game of life.”

I saw him on Carson one night. Truman Capote was also on and got his panties in a wad over Alex smoking a cigar. Needless to say, Alex was not very intimidated and kept his stogy.

Butkus, Nitschke, and Karras...the best 3 middle linebackers in the history of the game.

He was super as the bodyguard who came out of the closet in “Victor/Victoria” - had some very funny and touching scenes - very sad......

His wife, Susan Clark, is a big big BIG-time Lib. Don’t know if Karras was as well, or if she just liked to drop his name when speaking for Liberal causes.

In any case, RIP, Alex.

Yes, that is too bad! I remember his being on Johnny Carson’s show. He had a very dry sense of humor, which I really enjoyed.

That's 3 voices from ABC's MNF who have left us - Howie, Dandy, and Alex. RIP all of you.
