I Added HS, Contract dispute detail, some detail on his all time place as well as IMDB link. Looks like this scentence :

He is also famously known as one of the last white running backs to rush for more than a thousand yards in a season.

Has been added and subtracted a few times. I removed it. I basically agree with the editor who called it out of place. A discussion of Riggins' race could be explored and could be relevant in some contexts - but not as a single sentence out of nowhere among his "accomplishments".

Not a Number Retirement

The number retirement wasn't a number retirement, the only number officially retired by the Redskins to date is QB Sammy Baugh's 33. I believe it may have been the dedication of their Ring of Fame placards at RFK. The Ring of Fame celebrated major Washington sports figures from many sports, and is used by the Redskins the way some teams use number retirements to honor past players.

I replaced "world championship" with "championship victory", since the NFL is a national championship that, unlike MLB's World Series, never pretended to be a "world" competition. Klod 00:42, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
