Doug Flutie
The San Diego Chargers quarterback's mullet will wind up in the National Football League Hall of Fame some day, the NFL announced Monday. At the end of his final season, which is expected to occur sometime in Flutie's late 50s, the QB will have his mullet shaved and placed in the hall of fame next to former San Francisco 49ers safety Ronnie Lot's amputated pinky finger.
Jim Hofher
It was revealed over spring break that the UB head football coach's headset was not plugged in for the duration of the 2001 season.
"We found out that Hofher's headset was not working during the first quarter of the opening game against Rutgers," the football technical crew's Jim Beam said. "We were going to tell someone, but then we saw him talking anyway and thought it was funny, so we just left him alone."
"I wonder who he was talking to," defensive line coach Tom Jones said.
Hofher was not available for comment, but was recently caught talking to an old photo of Vince Lombardi inside his office.
Buffalo Sabres
Several members of the NHL team voiced their displeasure with the acquisition of veteran forward Bob Corkum at the trade deadline.
"Other teams get Pavel Bure or Jason Arnott, we get Bob Corkum, I guess we'll really be filling the net with pucks now," Sabres defenseman Jay McKee quipped.
Also, the loss of winger Rob Ray to a five-game suspension did not seem to phase the team.
