Posted May 15, 200618 yr FOXBOROUGH, Mass. ? (AP) ? Doug Flutie retired from pro football Monday, ending a 21-year career in which the Heisman Trophy winner puzzled both opposing defenses and his own coaches with his unconventional style at quarterback. The decision by the 43-year-old Flutie was announced by the New England Patriots, for whom he played five games last season. Flutie spent 12 seasons in the NFL and also played in the USFL and the Canadian Football League. He won the CFL's Most Outstanding Player award six times and the league's Grey Cup championship three times. Flutie finishes with 14,715 passing yards and 86 touchdowns in the NFL, spending most of his time as a backup. Last season, he attempted just 10 passes and converted the league's first drop kick for an extra point since the 1941 NFL title game.
May 15, 200618 yr I was thinking the same thing. I was happy to see him get that last point, while at the same time we ended up winning.
May 17, 200618 yr good bye good ridance.........i wish they would have tackled his sorry ass for that bush league extra point crap......
May 17, 200618 yr I cannot believe that people are considering if he should be in the Hall of Fame or not. I can't believe a handful of highlights makes people think he's worthy. Dumbasses.
