Sportstalk: Sammy Baugh Not Doing Well
 

News Channel 8: Sportswatch:

The guy with Glenn Harris said he is Sammy Baugh's historian and that Mr. Baugh is doing very badly in the health department and he asked for thoughts and prayers for Sammy and his family.

~sighs
I know my Hero Sammy Baugh is in early 90's and in failing health and I'm just stinggy and don't want him to go.

Hang in there Sling'n Sammy Baugh!

Come on Skins, win one for the Sling'er!!!

peace

Well, if God forbid Baugh doesn't make it to the weekend, lets just hope the Washington Redskins use that as motivation and have the same type of intensity for the Eagles as the Giants had for us after Wellington "The Second Coming Of Christ" Mara passed on.

Re: Sportstalk: Sammy Baugh Not Doing Well
 

lol
I agree.

I pray Mr. Baugh sees us into the playoffs and beyond.

Hang in there for Over Time #33!!!

peace

Re: Sportstalk: Sammy Baugh Not Doing Well
 

I want to just say something about Mr. Baugh and me being a fan.
I'm a 100% fan of what Mr. Baugh did as a Redskins player and I will argue he is the greatest football player ever as well.

The new players can learn much from a 16 year Redskins Offense, Defense, Punter All Star.

I never met Mr. Baugh but I wish I had to tell him thanks. I got to tell Sonny, Billy, Gus [lol]and others.

Look to the endzone Sammy.
Touchdown Washington Redskins!

peace

Re: Sportstalk: Sammy Baugh Not Doing Well

Re: Sportstalk: Sammy Baugh Not Doing Well
 

NEver saw him play, but heard interview with him and even at 90 he was hilarious. I hope he pulls through!

Re: Sportstalk: Sammy Baugh Not Doing Well
 

As with the whole of Redskins land, I hope he can recover! Via con Dios!

Re: Sportstalk: Sammy Baugh Not Doing Well
 

Sammy Baugh has had an extraordinary life. I hope it is not nearing an end. My thoughts and prayers are with him and the Baugh family.

Re: Sportstalk: Sammy Baugh Not Doing Well
 

Even though I've never seen Sammy Baugh play, i've heard about what he did. I hope he doesn't pass before we make the playoffs at least. My thoughts and prayers go to his family.

Re: Sportstalk: Sammy Baugh Not Doing Well
 

Best quote from him was when he was asked about the 72-0 beating the Skins took from the Bears in the 1940 Championship game...

Reporter: "What would have been the result if you would have gotten that touchdown in the first quarter?"

Sammy: "We would have lost 72-7."

lol

Re: Sportstalk: Sammy Baugh Not Doing Well
 

I had the quote and story wrong.

Here it is:
Still the 1942 Title Game against Chicago we lost 73-0

In the final minutes, the Redskins drove seventy-five yards to the six-inch line, only to have Baugh's final pass intercepted by the Bears, crushing the Redskins' hopes of scoring at least six points before the final gun.

In the dressing room after the game, Baugh reflected on the team's humiliating defeat. "Maybe if we could have gotten that touchdown at the end," he ventured, "it would've turned the tide!"
