Went out to dinner a few weeks ago in Saint Augustine, and as the waitress was seating us, there was a scruffy guy with a baseball cap sitting on one of the chairs at our table, away from the rest of his family, who was seated at the next table. He was playing with a little girl in a little stroller and keeping her entertained, trying to make her laugh...it was cute. He was looking down at her and then quickly turned his head slightly and apologized for being in my seat, and they went back over to their table.I wasn't really a college fan but I became a huge Flutie fan. Similar to Brady, he had an uncanny ability to come through at the end of games even when he was struggling. You just felt that he was going to pull it out and usually did. At BC he provided us with some incredible moments and should have been given more of a chance in the pros.
I wasn't paying much attention, but I sat down (they were behind me), and my wife was across from me and could see their table. She said, "You're not going to believe this, but that guy who was sitting in your seat was Doug Flutie."
I turned around and looked, and sure enough, it was him. He was just in a t-shirt, jeans, and a baseball cap, sitting there just hanging out with his family and - I'm assuming - being a good Grandpa.
Looked just like a normal guy, and they went back to walking around downtown after they left. Pretty cool.
