Greatest Sports Legends Then and Now - Features Paul Hornung and Alex Karras Gambling Controversy in 1963. Hosted By Gregg Murphy (Murph) and Wes Hall Produced in 2021.Paul Hornung's penchant for high-living proved disastrous when, in 1963, a major scandal erupted and Hornung and another of the league's top stars, defensive tackle Alex Karras of the Detroit Lions, were suspended from football indefinitely in April 1963 by commissioner Pete Rozelle for betting on NFL games and associating with undesirable persons. Forthright in admitting to his mistake, Hornung's image went relatively untarnished, and in 1964 his suspension, and Karras's, were re-evaluated by the league and both were reinstated in March.
