On the question of whether or not Doug Flutie belongs in the Hall of Fame, most people seem to be saying no. But, you know, it is the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It’s not the NFL Hall of Fame. And Little Dougie did win six Canadian Football League MVP awards.

I’d like to see it happen, but… I don’t really feel strongly enough about it to go to the trouble of making the argument for him. If he was in, he would certainly be the worst QB in there (unless someone enshrined Rob Johnson as a joke), and the Canadian Football League is clearly an inferior league. I get all that. I understand why he’s not going to be there.

But I’m not sure there shouldn’t be some sort of a little Canadian section in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Doesn’t Cooperstown have a little display honoring the women about whom “A League of Their Own” was made? If Dottie and Kit can get in a hall, then so can Doug Flutie. Maybe not with a full bronze bust, like everyone else… maybe just a little bobblehead. Or one of those little plastic electronic football guys painted like Dougie. Something.

I guess I just don’t want to live in a world where a man with the character, the determination, the ability, the resilience, and a beautiful cascading mullet like the one seen above (picture courtesy of Deadspin.com and Boston.com), doesn’t get some kind of career recognition.
