Sonny Jurgensen, Hall of Fame quarterback and Washington sports icon, dies at age 91

I'm sad he's gone , but I gotta wonder...is everyone just going to fawn all over him now? He was a legend for sure, but let's not forget, he broke curfew and made jokes about his body . Was that part of the charm or just a distraction from his actual playing skills? And what's with all these tributes pouring in already? Can't we wait until the funeral? It feels like everyone's just trying to be part of the nostalgia now, without really knowing the full story. I mean, I'm not saying Sonny wasn't an amazing guy, but let's not get ahead of ourselves here...

The passing of Sonny Jurgensen is a significant loss for the Washington D.C. sports community . As a quarterback who rewrote the franchise's record books with his pinpoint passing, he left an indelible mark on the team's history. His ability to rally the team from a 21-0 deficit against the Dallas Cowboys in 1965 is still remembered as one of the greatest moments in Redskins history .

Jurgensen's legacy extends beyond his playing career, as he became a beloved figure off the field through his broadcasting work and his humorous personality. His wit and charm entertained fans for generations, making him a true fan favorite .

It's heartening to see that Jurgensen's family and the Washington Commanders are celebrating his life and legacy by sharing stories and memories of this football icon . His memory will continue to inspire future generations of Redskins players and fans alike.

Man, 91 is old can't believe he's gone Sonny was like a part of our family, you know? I mean, who else could make breaking curfew look cool ? His passes were like magic and his humor on the radio with Sam and Frank was the best . I'll always remember that crazy comeback against Dallas in '65 . He may not have won a super bowl but he won our hearts . The Commanders will miss him so much, but we'll keep his memory alive ️.
