Interesting note about Sonny Jurgenson -- back on the old Tony Kornheiser show on ESPN several years ago, Tony recalled a moment on the field before a game just as Sonny was about to head up to the broadcast booth. Somebody asked Sonny to throw the ball -- Tony said Jurgenson could
still throw a laser.
