Karras dies after kidney failure

Alex Karras was one of the NFL's most feared defensive tackles throughout the 1960s. And yet, to many people he will always be the lovable dad from the 1980s
sitcom ''Webster'' or the big cowboy who famously punched out a horse
in ''Blazing Saddles.''

You know what is sad about this thread, is how many of our childhood idols that we grew up enjoying may have died without Jesus.

Sometimes hard to think about someone like that possibly being in hell and in torment, right now, as we speak.

It kinda sheds some reality into everything. Like what it REALLY is all about.

Not sure if anyone's familiar with the Christian rock band High Flight Society, but their drummer died a few months back:

On Sunday May 20, 2012 Scotty Lockridge died while preparing for church. Scotty had a seizure and the apparent cause of death was trauma to the head as a result of the seizure. He was 31 years old.

Camacho fought so many of the greats. A story of so much talent but a guy who never found true meaning in life.

I listened. Even owned some of his albums at one point.

What bugs me about this one is that the Norah Jones crowd is upset that she didn't get much mention in his obituary.
