...and, of course, I remember hearing the RFK crowd cheer when Billy got hurt against the Giants, who were leading by about 14 points at the end of the 3rd...because it meant that Crazy George Allen would have no choice...Sonny came in, did not throw an incomplete pass, led the Redskins to about 17 points, won the game...

Unfair to Billy, but nobody let him forget that he was not Sonny. Then Billy retired, and you could sense how often Billy had willed the team down the field.
