I was very sorry to hear this morning of the passing of Detroit Lion legend Alex Karras of liver failure in Los Angeles. He was 77.

Thinking back on those 60's Lions teams, names like Milt Plum or Dick Lane or Nick Pietrosante or Joe Schmidt are not the ones that spring immediately to mind. It's Karras [[The Mad Duck), one of the best defensive linemen ever to play the game. R.I.P. sir.
