Met Doug Flutie today.....

[Howard]

Who's Doug Flute?

 

[rise]

we were a small town team playing in the GBL. we had to work hard. we had some depth problems but we won our share of games, including one against belmont when we had 7 players and no goalie, lol.

i was fortunate to have two amazing players and a half dozen hard nosed ones who would do anything asked. the goalie was nicknamed "the rock" he was outstanding. some of the others had some skill, but more importantly a desire to work, a sense of teamwork and wanted to have fun.
we won our share of tourneys and some mini 1-1's.

Doug Flute is a class guy no doubt, but you can't go putting career backups in the hall. It's not the "hall of nice", it's the hall of FAME. The best players of their era are the ones who get in, and rightfully so.

Fact that someone made a thread about meeting him on a non sports forum....Sounds like fame to me

Oh the memories. Our team was especially good and tight knit because half of us were late signups and out of town folks who were basically segregated from the "better" teams from the town, based on silly youth hockey politics. Thus we had a lot of kids who could really play and wanted to be there (My father was driving me 25 minutes each way for practices from Weston)

Definitely going to try and get my kid(s), god willing, into hockey for a few years. That really built some character in me. I stopped as soon junior high started though and the kids started to really get bigger and the school team was filled with recruits

I know... 20 people and he STILL hasn't fixed it. Old people have trouble picking up on hints apparently.

There may be no "I" in t-e-a-m but there sure as hell is an "I" in F-l-u-t-i-e.

Flutie had a great career. He has his own charity foundation for kids with autism i think...his kid is autistic i believe. If i wasn't so lazy i'd check the wikipedia.

That drop kick he did for the Pats last year was way cool, anyone have a vid of it?

I met Mark Gastineau at a gym once. He told me I didn't have the bike level high enough, and should set it to 10. :roll:

Well, above our parking garage is a nice GYM. Apparently Doug Flute now attends that gym. I met him as I was leaving for lunch.........kinda cool I guess. Wow, how skinny he looks now.....if it wasn't for his face, I wouldnt have even known it was him, much less an ex NFL QB.

Are you an SMU student? He's at SMU broadcasting a game right now on ESPN2.

Sounds to me more like the OP is trying to boost his own ego. Here is a for him.
