I listened to that game but don't remember if Sam played that much. I do recall some talk of him having a sore arm or shoulder which carried over into the season. CBC back then showed a NFL game every Sunday afternoon and I remember seeing Sam play for the Cardinals. He wasn't the same player by that time as he was in his hey day with the Als. Couldn't throw deep like he used to. I remember there was some newspaper talk at the time of St. Louis signing a sore armed QB from the CFL. St. Louis Coach Pop Ivy would have remembered Sam with Montreal and Ivy was Coaching Edmonton. They played each other in about three Grey Cup's in the 50"s.
