And he's a legend in Canada
1986 training camp...three 12 year old kids sneak behind the stadium to see if they can check out some players.a Porsche pulls up outside gates, can't see inside, pulls into the gated area and pulls along side the fence. Door opens, music is jamming real loud, it's DOUG FLUTIE! He climbs the fence and reaches thru barbed wire to grab our pamphlets or whatever...gets back down, signs them all and has an AWESOME conversation with the kids and hands the autographs back. Hour or more later, he is running down the path to practice and stops to the same 3 kids and signs the same pamphlets! LEGENDARY PERSON! I WAS ONE OF THOSE KIDS!

Flutie in the Kayak in a flood on the news is literally the funniest thing all week
I saw Flutie play basketball with a bunch Patriots at Lowell High School in 1988. He hit a half court shot at the half-time buzzer. The guy was just a natural athlete.
Julian Edelman is doing a great job with this channel. The episodes with Ernie Adams & Mathew Slater are instant classics & worthy additions to NFL history.
Its worth pointing out that Flutie is wearing the number 49 hat- for Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield who died earlier this year from brain cancer. Doug Flutie is a class act.
Saw Ditka speak one time and he said if it was up to him, Flutie would have been his starter….”can’t teach someone to be a winner. Flutie is a winner”. He had so much success whenever he was given a chance. Tore up Canada too. On the downside, my sister and brother in law (non-sports dude) stayed at my house and ate my flutie flakes…even though it was on display and not in the kitchen. Great athlete and good dude.

I'll never forget the drop kick Flutie did for an extra point against Miami, lol. Crazy i was 8 months old when flutie played in this college game.
Douglas… you are a class act. So happy to see you on my favorite podcast. I don’t know if it was your(against all odds) success in football over 25+ years, that Wakefield hat, your dedication to autism awareness, your skills as a drummer, always representing Boston with such dignity, or some combination of all of it that has made you one of my heroes and a man that I admire tremendously. Thank you.
The best game ever! And Doug the most Underrated football player! He was never given a true Opportunity to excel! They always talked his size
Love the podcast. Grew up in Boston, and remembered how at BC he had the whole region following BC Football. I am glad this was taped in the Boston Area, because Doug is local, but Jules miight as well be from the area. Look at all the Boston team stuff he wears. Both are great.
I play ice hockey with Flutie in our local men’s league-a genuine individual.

Eli manning was on the video with Tedy Bruschi recapping about the perfect season and Peyton was on the video recapping his 7 tds as a bronco!
The term "Hail Mary" came from Roger Staubach. When Roger was asked about the throw he made vs Minnesota He said "I closed my eyes and said a Hail Mary." That's how the desperation play got its name
I have a box of Flutie flakes no sh. Love both these guys. Thanks for the great games, guys.
Flutie is a Massachusetts legend thank you Doug for always being loyal to mass and representing the state and yourself like a pro and a gentleman
Two legends: Doug Flutie wearing a Wakefield hat ❤.
Flutie could take a hit too I thought they killed him a few times . He bounced right back up.
Flutie in the CFL is some of the best football ever played. His highlights are ridiculous and his play style was so ahead of its time.
I grew up in the middle of nowhere Kentucky. I was 10 years old when this game happened. I remember my mother and I jumping up and down, running around the living room, just going nuts when that play happened. Great episode!! So entertaining!! Thanks guys!!
I’m just gonna say it, Doug is the best qb of all time simply because he was captured on live tv kayaking through a flooded river by chance, I know the two on paper aren’t related but the simple fact he appeared like a unicorn makes him unstoppable
One of my favorite episodes Flutie was great a😅mazing dude believe it or not he also throws a good knuckle ball
A goddamn New England icon! I loved Flutie when he played for the Pats in the late 80s/early 90s

Flutie is a football legend
Planned to read a book and have this on in the background. Didn't expect the detail and the hilarity. Very good podcast, and DF is a legend. I was 17 yo in 1984 and played ball. Pre-internet, pre-YT we watched that game and that play for months (on VHS tape) I loved him at every single stop on his career.
Flutie is brilliant… I remember coming home from dinner as a kid that weekend and my Dad and I turned on the tv just in time to see the “Hail Flutie”…
That's a Natick helmet. Great shoutout to his high school.
these get better and better boys!!! Thanx for the entertainment.
Flutie was just an overall incredible athlete. He was a great basketball and baseball player.
Flutie flakes!!! 🤣🤣 growing up with a dad obsessed with anything sports related bought a box of flutie flakes 20 years ago in a grocery outlet in California and still has it at the end of 30 other sport collectible cereal. 🤣

Mr. Flutie is has always been The most loved patriots players ever in my circle of friends! The hail Mary the drop kick. Even in the early years we all wanted Doug over Eason 1 million percent. Love this man! Thanks for giving us this podcast.
My two favorite athletes growing up were Doug Flute and Larry Bird.
I watched Flutie play for five years in Calgary and he was always amazing. Then he got hurt and Jeff Garcia took over for the biggest rivalry game of the year and won it!
I’m a die hard buckeye fan but I LOVED Doug flutie when I was a kid.. 4 years old I can remember sitting in front of the tv watching him throw that pass. Even at 4 I knew I was watching something great! Want a great interview! Good job edelnut
Flutie was one of my all time favs growing up in the Midwest. I being a "short king" he was pretty short for QBs and pulled some all time great tricks and Hail Marys . He made a way for short kings everywhere
It was fun Seeing Flutie on! Great get & Great show keep up the great work, And I Know it's been Requested a Million times, but you got to Get Coach Belichick on!! Let's GO!👍🏼
Funny drop kick story: My dad comes blaring into my room seconds after Flutie did it for the Pats, I missed it. I say “what’s a drop kick?” My dad proceeds to take my mid sized XFL football, drops it, kicks it perfectly, it soars past my face and goes STRAIGHT thru my bedroom window and out the door…why didn’t you catch it!? My dad says…”I wasn’t expecting you to do what you just did Dad” 😂😂😂 window pane was taped with duct tape for years hahahahaa

I remember looking at Sports Ilustrated photos of Doug and realizing Doug hides his mouthgard in his sock...😂😂😂. Such a good dude!!!

August 2005 Gillette Stadium preseason game number 2 vs the Saints. I was in section 110 row 3 on the pats sideline side near the 50 yard line. The first half was king Brady vs. Drew Brees and at halftime the Pats were winning but because it was a preseason game the second half had the backups come in but that was O.K. with me because I got to see my other favorite QB besides King Brady yep it was Flutie time and he came in and I saw him literally throw the final touchdown pass of his career and when he came back to the sideline he went right to the Gatorade table for a cup and where I was sitting he was like right there so I screamed out his last name three times in a row and by the grace of Almighty God himself the dude looked up and squinted at the stands to try and pick out who was screaming his name and he saw that it was me and when he saw me I flashed the old Buck Rodgers thumbs 👍 up at him. What a great day of football it was for me. 😎
