CLEVELAND -- Washington Redskins legend Sonny Jurgensen announced his retirement from broadcasting, thus ending his 62-year NFL career. Jurgensen, 84, spent the past 38 years as the Redskins' color analyst after having played 11 seasons for the franchise.
"It's been a great 55 years in Washington," said Jurgensen in a statement. He joined the broadcast team in 1981, seven years after retiring from playing.
Jurgensen teamed with another legendary player, Sam Huff, as part of a broadcasting team that became like family for Redskins fans. The two would occasionally bicker on the air like two friends watching a game but had a clear chemistry and passion for the game.
