It’s finally here – the not-really-all-that-official countdown to the 2023 Washington Commanders regular season. There are exactly 99 days left until the Commanders first game of 2023 against the Arizona Cardinals on September 10th.
Here are some notable things about Washington that contain 99 in some way.
Sonny Jurgensen is already in Pro Football’s Hall Of Fame. He is arguably one of the most recognizable player’s in D.C. history. On Sunday, Sonny will watch his number 9 raised to the rafters, never to be worn by anyone in Washington again. The 88-year old Jurgensen will join Sammy Baugh (33), Bobby Mitchell (49) and Sean Taylor (21) as just the fourth player to have his jersey retired by Washington.
The team has had a long-standing tradition of not handing out the numbers of their heralded – regardless of if they are retired – so nobody has worn Sonny’s number 9 since he retired in 1974 anyway.
But on Sunday, it will become official.
Sam Huff was a Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker and a four-time Pro Bowler, as well as a popular player and announcer in Washington. He passed away on Saturday. He was 87 years old.
A lawyer for the Huff family – Deborah Matthews – told the Associated Press that he died of natural causes in Virginia.
Huff was born and raised in a West Virginia coal mining camp. He went to West Virginia University, and was an All-American offensive lineman for the Mountaineers’ football team. He was also the catcher for the baseball team.
