Neon_Matrix Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 In honor of his historic event, I proclaim the Dropkick Murphy's rename themselves the Dropkick Fluties in honor of this great man and this even more amazing play.

Juddley Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Doug Flutie has now officially done everything a person could do in Football. Okay, except win a Super Bowl, but that might be coming up. I'm pretty sure he was with the bears when they won the Super Bowl...I could be wrong...it wouldn't be the first or last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, he was on the 1986 Chicaco Bears Superbowl winning team. Oddly enough, they beat out New England for that win. It's funny, I don't like football, but here I am answering a football question.

The big deal?No one's done it in an NFL game for over 60 years.And Flutie's not a kicker. He's a quarterback.So excuse him for acting all happy and stuff when the kick was successful.

Mac the Knife Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 That man is an athlete. He's never failed to impress me with some of the stuff he's done. He can run, pass and kick. He's pretty good at basketball and golf. I've seen hm play goalie in a hockey game, and he was making acrobatic saves.He also plays drums. I was watching a Red Sox game last year on TV when Flutie caught TWO foul balls in the same game, so I guess you can add baseball to the list as well. I heard next he's gonna fight Nikolai Valuev for the WBA title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac the Knife Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 It was also more than likely his last play in an NFL game. Anyone think the Pats are going to play anyone other than Brady in the playoffs unless he breaks his leg or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the Bears won the Super Bowl 1/26/1986, it was the 1985 season (Super Bowl XX). Flutie came along for the 1986 season (McMahon battled injuries all year, and Flutie played quite a bit as his back-up), and the Bears failed to repeat, being upset in the Divisional Playoffs by the Redskins 27-13...Moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmered Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I think you'll find Moose is right, Flutie was playing for the USFL?s New Jersey Generals when Chicago was winning the Super Bowl.He went to Chicago the next season, then the Patriots the season after.

BBTV Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Now I'm not 100% familiar with the rules for drop kicking, but is there any practical reason at all for it to be used in this era? The only thing I can think of is if you are the Eagles and your kicker goes down, and you have a linebacker kicking extra points. Maybe then it mighth be a valid alternative.Also, when Jim McMahon was with the Eagles, he used to beg Rich Kotite to let him drop kick in games. Heard he did the same with Ditka in Chicago. Never happened (obviously.) "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Never happened (obviously.) Well, drop kicking I believe (I wasn't around when it was common place) was used instead of place kicking and it was used a surprise. When they made the ball more pointy for throwing it made it harder to dropkick and thus place kicking took over and the dropkick died out untill yesterday. I guess a use for it today would be if a team goes for 2 for the win and nothing is open so the QB dropkicks and gets 1 to tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFoA Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Doug Flutie is the King. Period. And anybody who has a decent knowledge of football outside of New England would know that Doug Flutie ain't no kicker, and that this is the first time someone's dropkicked a ball for a score in decades.

Gamingboy Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I hope Brady breaks his leg in the Superbowl. Then Flutie will have the opportunity to become the first person to throw a game-winning Hail Mary under 2 popes. Insert Witty Signature Here.

Bleujayone Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 That "Chuck Norris random fact generator" should be changed to Doug Flutie.Go ahead and start one:http://projects.clarkrasmussen.com/people_...me/doug_flutie/ The best of the Doug Flutie "Chuck Norris Facts" list thus far... Some of you guys are a real scream...............................Every time Bernie Kosar sees a replay of Doug Flutie's "Hail Mary" pass, he craps his pants uncontrolably for two days afterwards. Doug Flutie can impregnate his wife from 70 yards away. Doug Flutie is so awesome, Michael Vick's first alias was "Douglas Canada". One time Doug Flutie dropped kicked in extra point in Edmonton. At the time he was in Vancouver. Doug Flutie once threw a pass so perfect that his receiver cried for catching it. Despite playing football in harsh conditions, Doug Fluite's uniform never needs washing. Doug Flutie was once asked to come out of the stands to pinch hit for the Boston Red Sox. He proceeded to hit a 3-run home run over the Green Monster. Doug Flutie secretly is a member of the Justice League of America. Doug Flutie once turned water into Gatorade. Doug Flutie is so clever that one time he scored on a TD run by hiding in his fullback's rear pocket. We all have our little faults. Mine's in California.

Hey, hey, hey, ease up on the guy. I can understand the confusion regarding seeing someone actually having fun in the otherwise buttoned down NFL. I miss him in the CFL, but at least we had Garcis as a back up ready to take over when former Stampeder owner Ryckman screwed Flutie...(And before Ryckman was charged with financial fraud for other business dealings) Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here."
