  Alex Karras
A college football star at the University of Iowa, Alex Karras turned professional in 1958, spending the next 14 years with the Detroit Lions.
Karras went on to be selected All-Pro in 1960, 1961, 1963 and 1965.
Karras have co-starred in the TV biopic Babe (1975), the raunchy but successful Porky's films, and the long-running (1983-87) TV sitcom Webster.

 1968 Detroit Lions Alex Karras Game Worn Jersey.
Any NFL or Lions fan who followed the club on TV, in the newspapers or in Street & Smith's knows that their 1960's standard uniform design, highlighted by silver Northwestern sleeve striping, was abandoned during the preseason and early season in favor of "hot weather friendly" mesh with screened on identifiers and stripeless sleeves.
Champion's label size 52 is sewn onto the left front tail and the jersey shows an acceptable level of wear.
Karras' jerseys are scarce and just as the affable Greek tackle was not exactly Paul Newman, this jersey's value and appeal lies in its scarcity and status as a forerunner to the '70's painted on mesh.

 Straight White Guy: Alex Karras...
I have football cards of Alex Karris when he was 28 years old and known as "The Mad Duck" in the NFL.
Alex Karris used to come to my house when I was a kid and he was playing football for the Detroit Lions.
One thing I will always remember about his visit's was, even though he was a very big man (I was a young kid in my early teens) was how quietly he walked in our house even though I thought he would shake the house.

Alex Karras was born on July 15, 1935, in Gary, Ind. In 1958 he was a first-round draft pick for the Detroit Lions and gained All-Pro status with them from 1960 through 1962.
The Most Valuable Player of Major League Baseball's American League for the 2003 season was Alex Rodriguez, the power-hitting shortstop for the Texas Rangers; the selection was a rarity in that his team finished last for the fourth consecutive year.
He was imprisoned or placed under house arrest several times for illegal activities, yet he persisted in writing against the government.

Karras and Hornung suspended for gambling (April 17, 1963)
Paul Hornung, the Green Bay Packers running back who had scored an NFL record 176 points in 1960 and been named MVP in 1961, and Alex Karras, the Detroit Lions All-Pro defensive tackle, were suspended by Pete Rozelle for betting on NFL games and associating with gamblers.
Hornung, said Rozelle, had bet up to $500 on NFL games, and Karras, he said, had placed at least a half dozen $50-$100 bets.

 Why Is Baseball So Much Better Than Football? by Thomas Boswell
Vital NFL games are decided by helmeted gentlemen who come on for 10 seconds, kick sideways, spend the rest of the game keeping their precious foot warm on the sidelines and aren't aware of the subtleties of the game.
Half of them, in Alex Karras' words, run off the field chirping, "I kick a touchdown."
How can you respect a game that uses only the point after touchdown and completely ignores the option of a two-point conversion, which would make the end of football games much more exciting.
