Jurgensen, Ditka, Kilmer, Hart and Youngblood played during an era when “unfortunate plays” were the norm.

And don’t get started on Terrell Owens. Jurgensen had the perfect remedy for players like Owens, who are perceived to have “me-first” attitudes.

“Receivers I didn’t like I used to throw it in there easy so that they would get nailed,” Jurgensen said. “You know, hang ’em out to dry.”

“Especially if they dropped the pass before and they start yelling at you,” Kilmer said.

“That’s right,“ said Hart. “You run ’em across the middle and throw it in there just so.”

“Hang ’em out to dry,” Jurgensen said again, seeming to enjoy his cigar more than ever. “They’d get the message — in two minutes. They’d come back to the huddle and say, ‘I understand.’ Exactly!”
