I was sad to learn about the passing of Alex Karras this week. He was one of my favorites athletes, even though he didn't play for the Bears. His book, Even Big Guys Cry, is one of the best sports book that has ever been written. My favorite part of the book is where he gets into a knock down, drag out fight with Dick the Bruiser(Another one of my favorites). His eyesight was so bad he claimed he played football by braille. He was quite a character and had a gentile side for a big guy. Rest in Peace, Mongo!
