People from all walks of life are mourning the loss of Alex Karras, who died today at age 77. Longtime NFL fans know him as the fearsome defensive lineman who chased down quarterbacks for the Detroit Lions in the 1960s. Movie buffs know him as the horse-punching Mongo in the classic Mel Brooks comedy “Blazing Saddles.” But TV fans like us remember Karras best as Emmanuel Lewis’s big, cuddly dad George on the ‘80s ABC sitcom “Webster.”
