MaddogCT Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Here are a couple of Sammy quotes and a link to an article I found. It's a little dated, but it's a great read. Of a very religious linebacker: "He knocks the hell out of people, but in a Christian way." ~Sammy Baugh "They tell me you're quite a passer," Flaherty said. "I reckon I can throw a little," Baugh answered. "Let's see it," the coach said, "Hit that receiver in the eye." Baugh ****ed an eye toward end Wayne Millner, who was running a buttonhook, and said, "Which eye?" http://www.mebaseball.com/articles/minor-league-baseball/minor-league-baseball-article-3666.htm :logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I'd heard the 2nd one before, but it's still a classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manichispanic Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Look at that kid from Mississippi, (Archie) Manning. You know you're old when you refer to a 55 year old man as a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cphil006 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 He was the greatest 60-minute man ever. One year he led the NFL in passing as a QB, interceptions as a DB, and punting as a P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tizzod Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I love the story when the Skins lost 73-0 to the Bears, a reporter after the game asked Sammy (I don't remember if he threw a pick or how the drive stalled) if they would have scored early in the game, what did he think the final score would have been? Sammy's response? "73-7" Cool, cool dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
