...Karras what the Lions might be thinking about in the locker room. "I think they're voting on whether to come out tonight," said Alex. "Minnesota is a vicious team. They've got hair all over their bodies and bad breath." Later, on the Tonight Show, Johnny Carson asked Karras if he remembered any "great moments" in his eleven seasons in pro football. Said Karras: "No. I played with the Lions, John. I think taking showers was probably the highlight...

Some important Sullivan structures remain-the Carson Pirie Scott department store, for example.
