Unlike Mongo, Karras was not a " pawn in game of life." He lived life big as a commentator, pro-wrestler and actor after his football career. He was married twice and fathered six children.
Recently Karras joined more than 3,500 football veterans suing the NFL for not protecting them better from head injuries. At the time of his death, Karras was suffering dementia along with several other serious health issues.
His Greek heritage was important to Alex Karras, so in his honor this blogger will make a pot of Avgolemono on Sunday. Opa!
