Media Notes

In DC, Liz Clarke reports Redskins analyst Sonny Jurgensen has "decided to return to the broadcast booth this fall" for his 37th consecutive season on radio after "briefly considering retirement." He will be "covering only home games and skipping road games in a season with an onerous travel schedule that includes three West Coast trips." After "indicating to the Redskins he planned to step down," he had a "change of heart two weeks later." Although Jurgensen has been a "less vocal member of the current lineup," he "remains a powerful link" to Super Bowl-winning teams of the '80s and '90s (WASHINGTON POST, 6/22).
