I watched him throw a football 70 yards once, perfect spiral, from a flat-footed stand....all arm strength. Fast and slick -- unfortunately not an NFL style q'back.

The NFL has never liked running QB's like Flutie because they're effective. Although they're finally starting to smarten up with the success of McNabb and Stewart.

The Pats cut him before the start of the season.

That's too bad. He was an awesome athlete. (His desire to win reminded me of Joe Montana.)

Do you know if anyone picked him up?

It's a shame that no one in the NFL will try a pure option offense, wishbone or otherwise. I've always heard the excuse that they just don't believe it'd work at the pro level. Wouldn't you still be bringing the best offensive players against the best defensive players no matter how you ran the offense?

Multiple offenses is why I prefer college football. Multiple defenses is why I prefer college basketball. The greatest sporting event is the NCAA b'ball tourney. Now if the NCAA would just get a clue about a football playoff.

9. Georgia Frantiere is already getting measured for her huge rings (see also Bill Cowher ordering Hotel rooms for New Orleans)
If the Rams win, anyone think The Queen of Concrete Swim Fins will embarrass herself on the podium the way she did two years ago?
