"Alex Karras hated quarterbacks. Even his own.

"They're all milk drinkers," he would say. Just about every day.

"Put a skirt on them."

I can still remember when Alex busted up the Butch Pappdoupulous bar in downtown Detroit.

You didn't piss him off, or you'd see stars (not Gable, Davis, or Barrymore).

Read all his books and met him at an event back in the 80's....

Great guy....... I guess Jesus sent him that Candygram to Heaven........
