You 'da man! Flutie Flakes Ping.
That's allot of football!
He always seemed to be a very classy guy...
Doug was a classy player. Hope he enjoys retirement.
He's too short to retire.
Flutie spent half his Canadian career playing for my hometown Calgary Stampeders. He was awesome and his style was perfect for this league.
He played his first two seasons in the CFL with the B.C. Lions, with his brother Darren a receiver on the same team. I wish Darren had come to the Stampeders, too. The two of them together was scary; it almost seemed as if they were connected to each other psychically. Doug'd run around and around in the backfield then, just before being sacked (you can't run around for three minutes!) he'd just fire off the ball and Darren would always be there to catch it, as if they were playing in their back yard as kids.
Cheers,

tutti frutti Doug Flutie...
good luck to him.he played like a giant.
Us short Lebanese don't have anyone else to root for in the NFL! He represented us so well! However, he also showed that no matter how good you are, and how much heart you have, you do need to have a minimal height to make it big in the NFL. Whenever I see the movie "Rudy", I think of Flutie. God bless him and his family.
Little People of America (LPA) is a nonprofit organization that provides support and information to people of short stature and their families.
Now he'll have more time to travel around campaigning for her heinous.
Indeed. I have a good friend who played in Canada with Flutie, and said he was just a great guy. Class and modesty.
Ping
ah yes gushing over another Clinton Dem.
I got the same pleasure watching him scramble around and making a big play as I did watching Mugsy Bogues slam dunk in the NBA. Doug is also a very classy guy. I hope he gets a contract broadcasting. It would be nice if he could stay attached to the game.
His level of political sense is pathetic.
But as a football player, his instincts and scrambling ability have been off the charts. The Bears would have done well to keep him.
Sorry, I wasn't aware of his politics.
Yeah, but he went 0-4 against my West Virginia Mountaineers.
