Sammy Baugh, the Washington Redskins quarterback who was one of football's greatest passers and a pivotal figure in transforming the NFL from a plodding affair into a high-scoring spectacle, died Wednesday in Rotan, Texas. He was 94.
In one season, 1943, he led the NFL in pass completions, in punting and in interceptions -- which he caught, not threw, with 11. He's the only player ever to lead the league in offensive, defensive and special teams categories.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.
