1. The greatest Redskin ever
And quite the character. I remember a few years ago he did an interview with Sonny Jurgensen. It was quite...colorful. Apparantly Sammy had trouble going more than a sentence or two without cursing a blue streak...:)

2. My kinda guy.
I saw an old interview on NFL Films of Slingin' Sammy down on his farm in Texas. They had to keep bleeping him out and it was funny as hell.

3. Greatest Redskin EVER, and I love Sonny, but Sonny would agree.
Is Eddie LeBaron still alive? I was thinking about quarterback pallbearers.

Flags not at half-staff here on Capitol Hill.
