Slingin’ Sammy Baugh

Today is St. Paddy’s day, but really…it’s the birthdate of the greatest Quarterback of all-time.  Samuel ‘Slingin Sammy’ Adrian Baugh.  Well, the greatest quarterback if you ask a Washington Redskins fan.  Another notable note is that Sammy Baugh was born in Temple, Texas, just a mere 145 miles from my hometown of San Antonio…so, yeah.  Why not, let’s go.

No shoes, no problems

Manning got to know Baugh during a photo shoot back in 1999 at Baugh’s ranch between Rotan and Aspermont for Sports Illustrated, depicting a quarterback from the past and a current one. They visited for about eight hours and the talk was mostly football.

Afterwards Baugh said, “That ol’ Manning’s one hell of a kid, isn’t he?”
