The San Diego Chargers have released quarterback Doug Flutie. This may mark the end of the 42 year old's career.
I only own one football jersey, and that's a #7 Buffalo Bills Doug Flutie. There were so many reasons to root for the diminutive quarterback. There's the hail mary pass while at Boston College. There's the years of MVP service in the CFL and the two Grey Cups he brought to Toronto. There's the glorious NFL comeback with the Bills when he guided them to back-to-back playoff berths. We all loved #7.
I've previously written about the moment and it involves Doug Flutie and Rob Johnson. Flutie was the man and he will be missed. If the NFL doesn't want him, he can always come back and play up here.
