Sportstalk: Sammy Baugh Not Doing Well

[Sammy Baugh Fan]

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

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!"
