 Doug Flutie ....
MISSISSAUGA, Ont. -- Retired quarterback Doug Flutie was nowhere to be seen Monday in the lush corner of suburbia where the Toronto Argonauts make their home, but his name continued to swirl around the field as the team refused to drive a spike through rumours he might alleviate its quarterbacking woes.

Flutie, who won the Canadian Football League's Most Outstanding Player award six times, announced the end of his playing career in May when he retired as a member of the New England Patriots.
