1. We didn't want him anyway.

Phillip Rivers will be a great replacement for him.

3. Wasn't he a SCAB for the Bears in the '89 Strike? nt

[graywarrior]

4. This is all I know but I'm so expert.

Flutie played for the Chicago Bears (1986-87) and Patriots (1987-89) before becoming one of the greatest Canadian Football League players ever. Flutie won the league’s Most Valuable Player award six times and led his teams to three championships. He played with seasons, 1990-97, in the CFL. Flutie later played for the Buffalo Bills then ended up in San Diego.

5. 86-87, then.

THE MAN WAS A SCAB.

I cannot root for a damned Scab.

There is no being on the planet lower than a scab except maybe a Republican.

6. My dad beat the crap out of a scab during a strike at GE in the 60's

7. Tell your Dad we need 10,000 more like him in the labor movement! nt

8. actually he was traded during the strike

and played in the last strike game played as all the players were coming back


eitherway I don't care, I hate the patriots :evilgrin:

I did like the old uniforms they had though

[graywarrior]

10. He died 25 years ago...but man, he hated scabs

12. Flutie campaigned for Reagan in '84 as I recall......

So he's now buried.......

9. He used to play here

with the Calgary Stampeders. Back in the day when they actually won games (and Grey Cups!). :::sigh:::

11. Seeing as I hate Flutie and the Patriots......

....it works for me as well.

I've never heard anyone say a good thing about Flutie that's met him personally which is at least a dozen people. Just an all-around jerk.

13. Who cares? The Eagles are going to kick their ass this year.

Now that TO is back ;)

[Floogeldy]

14. Fuck the Patriots. But I love Doug Flutie.

I'm glad to see Flutie playing ANYWHERE. :)

[Arkana]

15. As a Patriots fan, I heartily agree.

16. Flutie to David Terrell

What a combo. Is Terrell going to learn to catch ever?
