7/15/1935 - 10/10/2012. Detroit Lion, four time pro-bowler, actor, and Mongo,my avatar. See ya on the other side.
"Mongo is pawn in game of life." - from Blazing Saddles...
RIP Mongo! You were surely loved!
Because he played so long ago, many knew him only by reputation. I, and I'm sure some others here, actually saw him play. He was a force, one of those guys you game planned for and needed to know where he was at all times.

He was also a pussycat off the field, like many ferocious competitors. Alex, you will be missed.
