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!"
