I've never understood why Alex Karras isn't in. He must've alienated some influential people...


Someone told me that there was a gambling issue with him at some point in the past.

He and Paul Hornung were suspended for the 1963 season by Pete Roselle.Hornung was orginally thought to be a first ballot entrant,but he didn't get in until '84 or so. Not really that many Lions in the HOF,so there goes that argument.Karras certainly should be in.
