say it ain't so, dougy!
Doug Flutie officially retired today, ending both a 21 year career and in effect, my reason to live. I was too young to remember his brilliant college career, or this first stint in the NFL, but I vividly recall his glory days in the NFL, and his triumphant return to the NFL with the Buffalo Bills.
At just under 5'10" it was amazing that he could even see over the line, let alone survive the tackles of 350 pound linemen. He proved critics wrong, and turned a Heisman winning college career into an enduring professional football persona. Off the field, he formed the Doug Flutie Jr Foundation for Autism, which has raised millions of dollars to help fight the disease.
Flutie now moves onto broadcasting, and will work on ABC as an analyst for college games...at least until a younger, taller analyst comes along. Stupid Rob Johnson.
