I became I Redskins fanatic in 1970 when I was five y.o.
I was a huge fan of Sonny Jurgensen, Charlie Taylor, Roy Jefferson, Larry Brown, Len Hauss, Pat Fischer, Mike Bass, Herb Mulkey and Chris Hanburger.
In the 'The Warpath' website before they erased all of our old names, I used Chris Hanburger as my TWP name.
I was such a Sonny J. fan that I did not like Billy Kilmer. I will never forgive or forget in Super Bowl 7, Billy Kilmer's pass intended to a wide open Jerry Smith in the endzone, hit the upright. Jerry Smith was so wide open, hitting the field goal post would have been the only way there would not have been a TD on that play.
The field goal uprights used to be in the endzone at the goal line, way back in the day. That play blew any small chance tha Skins had on that day. The game was still close at that point.
