I must say, I became a fan of Flutie when I read an article about him a few years back that is described in the following article. I'm a fan of football players who love the game.
http://www.nfl.com/nflnetwork/story/7857823 [Rain man note: this article was written in 2004, but the article I saw was written the night after it happened. I deleted large irrelevant parts of this article.] A doubleheader True story. About three years ago, five hours after San Diego quarterback Doug Flutie led the Chargers to a victory, a four-man crew from a TV station in Denver was preparing to go live from Qualcomm Stadium for its Sunday night 10:40 show. But before the show went on, the crew noticed a group of seven 30-something men engaged in a touch football game in which the same person played quarterback for both teams. During the game, the quarterback also jogged over behind the Qualcomm goalposts, grabbed the ropes and began raising the kicking nets, like it was a real NFL game. The quarterback/net holder looked familiar from a distance, and then he was recognized: Doug Flutie. Five hours after he had run around for three-plus hours against the Broncos, after he had completed 21 of 32 passes for 280 yards and two touchdowns, after he had absorbed such vicious blows as the one Denver linebacker Bill Romanowski had delivered on his chest, Flutie -- in street clothes and a baseball cap -- was back for more. Like Sunday afternoon was some kind of warm-up act. For one hour that Sunday night, after the cheers had quieted and the stadium emptied, Flutie played more football with seven of his buddies. Turns out, this is something Flutie loves to do. Those closest to him said he would routinely return to Buffalo's Ralph Wilson Stadium the Sunday nights after the Bills' Sunday games. He often goes straight from San Diego's afternoon practices to spend the night playing pickup basketball games at a local gym. He acts more 14 than 40-plus. Most football players spend Sunday nights unwinding, eating hearty meals, watching the next football game, doing anything but thinking of playing on. Flutie, with a passion for his sport that is no different than that of Roger Clemens in baseball, is different.

He'll be back..He's one of the guys that can't stay away from the game very long and there is always somebody that will want his service as a backup

He was a guy that was never truely given a shot as anything more than a backup. He was always exciting to watch.

This is making me feel old, cause I was home on Thanksgiving break when Br3nt Musberger had the call:
Flutie drops back, He throughs it down; CAUGHT BY bundle of sticksIN, TOUCHDOWN BOSTON COLLEGE!11!" One of the most incredible comeback from the death drives I have ever whitnessed.
