RIP Alex Karras

[Phalex]

Back in the mid 60's my folks had so many kids they ran out of names. Apparently the freakishly large kid my mother had bore an eery resemblance to a certain defensive tackle, so my old man named me after him.

God Speed Mr. Karras

I played defensive tackle in midget league, jr. high and high school; he was one of my heros. May he RIP and may the NFL finally "bust" him in the HOF.

Horses all accross the land have breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mongo only pawn in game of life."

Sigh. Rest in peace my sweet pawn.

I remember seeing him in a movie called "The 500 Pound Jerk." Anyone else?

RIP as many times I have watched Blazing Saddles and some episodes of Webster when I was younger I am now just finding out it was the same guy.

Who would of thought a man that was a beast on the field would later become a great actor and entertainer. RIP Alex.

I never realized he was Mongo. Just knew him as the Webster guy. That's pretty cool. RIP, Mr. Karras.
