I remember when George had a full head of hair, when John Riggins looked down the dress of the Egyptian Ambassador’s wife and made a crack about ‘always wanting to see the pyramids’, and I remember when Sonny Jurgenson was challenged by Billy Kilmer in an artificially created ‘quarterback controversy’ and WMAL radio had bumper stickers all over the area that read ‘I listen to WMAL, and I root for BILLY!’ (or if you were a Jurgenson fan, ‘I root for SONNY!’), and I remember when it was unthinkable that the Redskins could have any other owner than Jack Kent Cooke, or the Cooke family.
And the successor to Kilmer? (who in fact led the Redskins to an 11-3 record and on to face Miami in the Super Bowl)
Noneother than Joe Theisman, who would end up leading Washington in the quarterback position when they returned to the Super Bowl and WON against the Dolphins, who had prevailed in their first encounter in Super Bowl 7.
Those were great years.
