Dictator Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 RIP Sammy.I loved this part. :laugh: Could you imagine Campbell, Manning, or Brady trying to play safety? :rotflmao: Baugh once threw four TD's and picked off 4 passes in the same game. I couldn't imagine anyone doin that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmySmith Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Sammy was the Babe Ruth of football. There was the game before him and the game after him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I was sad to see this. A terrific athlete like Jim Thorpe and a colorful yet genteel man. Not to mention the finest Redskins player in the history of the franchise. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeakeJS Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 They don't make them like that anymore. Official end of an era that was better than ours in so many ways. It's gone from people who played for pennies basically and cared 100% to players like Santana showing off while losing and players yucking it up while having their azzes handed to them all about the money. Players whining all the time. That's what is wrong with this heartless bunch. They don't care. Just ask Santana and all the others probably. Tired of these clowns and Sammy Baugh made me realize it even more. Rest in peace Sammy. AMEN!! :applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khlav Kalash Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 My condolences to the Baugh family. It is a big loss to the Redskins family as well, for he was truly the greatest player to ever wear the burgundy and gold. He: Led the NFL 6 times in Passing (tied for record). Led the NFL 4 times in Punting (tied for record). Led the NFL once in Defensive Interceptions Led the NFL in Passing, Punting, and Interceptions in 1943 (the first player to lead the League on all three sides of the ball, 'Bullet' Bill Dudley is the only other player to ever achieve this feat.) Still holds the record for most yards per punt for a season, and is second all-time for career yards/punt (a record he held for half a century). Still holds the record for highest average gain in a game. Is second all-time in completion percentage for a season, a record he held for more than 35 years. Still holds the record for most interceptions in a game (tied with many others). With a 16 season career, is the second longest tenured Redskin of all time, behind only Darrell Green (just to do the inane 'comparing stats across eras', Baugh had more interceptions in a game, in a season, per game played, and has almost 40% more return yards per interception than Green.) Records from http://www.nfl.com/history/randf If you check the classifieds, skipperpk is trying to organize an order for Baugh jerseys, if you are interested. To motorhead: Bill Dudley in 1946 led the league in rushing, punt returns, and interceptions (and lateral passing), so Baugh was not the only one, just the first.

BigMike619 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 If I remember hearing correctly he was dying for a while now. I hope he feels no pain now and that his family can think of the good times as well as the bad and make it thru this period of grief together and become stronger.
