    	Goodbye Doug.  You had three chances to prove yourself, which
    is two more than most guys get.

    The World Football League (for 5'10" and under).

    Houston and Detroit, 2 run-and-shoot teams, for sure.  Can't honestly
    think of anyone else.

    	Any team that wants a quarterback who can "win".  As long as
    there's a running back who can gain 120+ yards and a defense that
    allows the opponents less than 10 points a game.  Of course you
    can go to the Parks League and find a quarterback who can "win"
    in that scenario.

    There hasn't been any talk of Houston going to the run-and-shoot has
    there?  I thought Pardee has a defense background.

Goodbye Doug Fruitie, er uh Flutie...

We hardly knew ye, but we did get to see your phenomenal acting
skills, both on the field, and opposite Victor Kiam:

	      D:	Gee Vic, this razor don't work very good...
	      V:	Neither do you,  you little twerp

	      [CUT!!!]

	      D:	Oh Mr Kiam, this razor is Great!
	      V:   	Use my Remington Sawzall Razor, just like dougie
	                here...

	      [CUT -- Print it...]

And then, we got to see your ability to rub elbows with Rock stars.
How nice of you to invite Mick to practice like that...

Yeah, Doug, we'll miss you...you were good for so many laughs...

    I'd still like to know who sent me those Flutie-Jagger pictures.....

Probably Karen.

I heard that at one time she was dating *both* Doug and Mick...
(but never on the same night ;^))

'Saw

    Well Doug, don't let the door hit you on the way out.  You've milked
    your one pass, your overrated year, your media hype.
    
    Go back to Natick, look at Flutie Pass.  See ya Doug.  Glad to see
    ya go.  Congrats.

Hope this helps:

	No flies on that boy...

    Jack Pardee used the run-n-shoot with the Houston Gamblers of the
    USFL, and at the University of Houston, a/k/a Cougar High.  Chris
    Palmer, just hired by Pardee to join his Oilers staff, has been
    head coach at Boston University for the last 2 years and has used
    the run-n-shoot.  I've heard and read many items stating that he
    was going to use the run-n-shoot with the Oilers.
    
    John

	Houston just hired the BU head football coach (can't remember his name
right now...) as their Receiver's coach. At BU he installed the Run-and-Shoot
offense. He was also the Offensive Coordinator for the New Jersey Generals
when Dougie was there. The Boston Media has been circulating the idea that
he'll influence Pardee to bring Flutie to the Oilers as a backup QB...

	Can't ya just see Dr. Midnight as a Flutie Fan!!!!! :-)

    Frank, I mailed the Flutie book but I had nothing to do with the other
    crap that was circulating around.  (-:

    No place for him in Detroit...

    That was cold Jeff, real cold.  But, I do have these basement windows
    that are hard to clean from the outside, cause they are close to
    the ground.  Dougie could clean them without bending...

>No place for him in detriot (tm) ?

As far as I can assess the qb situation in detriot is Peete, gagliano and long.

Long doesn't want to be there. He can't play in the silver stretch. He should 
be traded by next season.

gagliano is a journeyman qb at best who had a decent season this year. I doubt
he's the one detroit wants to call their main QB.

Peete played well this year when he was healthy. He was injured a lot. Questions
are surfacing regarding his ability to remain healthy. 

IMHO the silver stretch is a system that needs 3 qb's on the roster because
they are pretty vulnerable in it. If I was in detroit I'd pick him up for a 
nominal fee and give him a shot in camp.

What have they got to loose ???

	Lots of games.  Unless they have a defense that compares favorably
to the 1976 Steelers.

				/Don

    Games...  Perhaps as a backup, but I don't see him starting.  I see
    Long being traded.  Gagliano knows the run and shoot and runs it
    well for a backup.  Don't think they need the controversy it would
    cause. 

    I don't know that Flutie would cause much controversy anymore Walt.
    Most of the problems here came about due to this being his home,
    and the partisan Flutie fans here. There can't be amny Fluitites
    in Michigan, can there ???

/Don, that should be, "Lots of games, unless they have a defense..."

Yours,

    How about Flutie being picked up by Denver?
    
    Reeves would be proud to say that the Broncos have 3 quarterbacks with
    Superbowl experience! :^)
    
    Maybe Dougie could help Elway improve the shovel/shuffle pass!

Kevin, I've got to disagree with you p-name string...;^)

There's a few beers out there that are exquisite when served just a 
couple of degrees lower than room temperature...

Of course, I'm *not* talking about miller, bud, keystone, etc etc etc...

Chainsaw
    

    Hey 'saw, 
    
    I agree with you.  When I was stationed in England, there were quite a
    few beers that tasted great at about 55 degrees.  Much colder than that
    and they lost about 60% of their taste.

    Wait a minute! Are you trying to tell me that Flutie was not on the
    side lines (in a nice, clean uniform) cheering on his teammates as they
    were getting pummelled by his former teammates?
    
    If he was there, he has experience.

    	I cant believe all this putting down of doug flutie.  Where taling
    about a local hero who was capable of throwing one good hail mary pass.
    I think you all just Jeolous because deep down inside you know that
    more than half the people that have wrote in this note have more talant
    as a qb than doug.  This is still no reason to put hime down.  I think
    you have to be pretty talented to make millions of dollars with no
    talant.   Id like to have that talant, I can take a dive better than
    eason and can hand a ball to stevens just as good as flutie.  I guess
    im ready for the NFL. (For the patriots only) Oh one more thing if I
    cant make it as a QB I think Ill try out for Kicking.

But wait a minute folks...

Long haitus since we've heard from him, right?  Time enough to take some
typing classes, study a little grammar?

Enquiring minds want to know.....

    The name was MBROOKS ....
    
    Maybe CASO was his madien name ??? :-)
