Man this is one seriel I would like to see. Maybe it will be available on youtube someday. Sammy also had a supporting role in the 1948 movie Triple Threat along with other real pro football players and announcers.

I knew Sammy Baugh was in the movies but I'd never seen any footage. Thanks for posting!

Here's a 5 minute highlight and interview video that covers Baugh's career as well as any I've seen.

We are going to have some special things in memory of Sammy at this years Sammy Baugh Classic.

We retired his jersey a couple of years ago and this year we will place a permanent jersey (I think it will be a sign) with his name and number, years he played at Sweetwater, his retirement of his college (TCU) and the retirement of his pro (Washington) jerseys. We will have a special dedication and "unveiling" at all 3 games.

Each player will be given a sticker to place on his helmet in honor of the great Sammy.

Here is a pic of the sticker
