Excellant work TK and Tarhog.
I had the honor of seeing Slinging Sam play, and even got his autograph in 1948. I am sorry to say I have lost it.
Thanks

EXCELLANT!!!!!!!!!!, VERY WELL DONE AND MUCH APPRECIATED.
SAMMY WAS ONE OF A KIND. ONE OF MANY REASONS I'M A FAN.AGAIN THANKS
Thank you guys for this. It was a well put together article on Mr. Baugh and I learned a lot about someone that I just heard of.
When a boy was playing dirty, we had something called a "bootsy" play. We'd waste a play where we'd rough up the sonofabitch a little to make him stop playing that way. I remember one game where an end was coming at me with his hands and arms like he was slapping at the ball. Each time, he'd hit me in the face. I warned him to stop it, but he didn't. So I called the bootsy. No one blocked him, he came barreling through, and I threw the ball and hit that sonofabitch right in the forehead with a perfect spiral.
Wow!

1) Thanks for the kind words.
2) This is the 2nd time I've said something to you about that CAP LOCK KEY. All 6 of your posts are all in caps. That's rude. I suggest you check your PM's.
Thank you very much.
That brought back memories that I didn't even have.
Thanks Tarhog!
Some things I've learned:
Always make a plan.
Pay attention to where you are, what you're doing, and how you're supposed to do it.
Never go to a Steak House and order chicken.
Putting a dollar in a g-string costs too much.
Don't insult the dentist before he's finished.

Actually, thats an error. The Redskins (in addition to their 2 NFL title game wins during the Baugh era) won 5 NFL East titles. The 1937 NFL then was divided into two conferences, the NFL East, and the NFL West and was broken down as follows:Originally posted by China
Very interesting, thanks.![]()
One question though, abouth this line:
Since the AFC as we know it didn't become part of the league until after the merger with the AFL (after Baugh was retired), giving us American and National conferences, what was the NFC? Was it still the National Football Conference? What were the other conferences?
NFL East:
Washington (formerly Boston) Redskins
New York Giants
Pittsburgh Pirates
Brooklyn Dodgers
NFL West:
Chicago Bears
Green Bay Packers
Detroit Lions
Chicago Cardinals
Cleveland Rams
Teams were added (and some subtracted) in the ensuing years. Thanks for catching that!
Fantastic article. Thanks!![]()
It would be great to save each article on a "Redskins History 101" section on the site so people can easily reference it.
When thought of in terms of accomplishments relative to the era played, Sammy was probably the greatest Redskin... I know this has been a thread numerous times... just my humble opinion.

Great job. Nice to learn about old Skins that I don't know much about.
There is no greater feeling than being able to move a man from point A to point B against his will. I tried it, I liked it, and I was playing offensive line. --Russ Grimm

Actually, we may try to tie the player chapters into the player database so when you search for a particular guy, its right there as a link, rather than a separate forum.
bravo!
Great job guys.![]()
Sammy was definitely ahead of his time! I hope the Charley Taylor story is coming soon!
Great idea.Originally posted by Tarhog
