When did that happen?  More importantly, why is he following me around? <\/p>\n<p>Seriously though.  Flutie was quarterback for the Bills for a while.  He joined them while I was in Rochester, NY (the town considers the Buffalo Bills to be the local team).  He then <a href=\"http:\/\/www.signonsandiego.com\/uniontrib\/20050312\/news_1s12chargers.html\">went to play for San Diego<\/a> the same year I went to Los Angeles to work. As you know (don&#8217;t yo?) LA doesn&#8217;t have a team, so once again, Flutie was in the next major city over (yeah, it&#8217;s a stretch to call either Rochester or Buffalo a major city, but they&#8217;re both about the same size city in that region of New York).  Now, I&#8217;ve been in the Boston area for almost a year, and he joined the &#8220;local&#8221; team in March, a few months after I arrived.<\/p>\n<p>Is my fate somehow tied to this Doug Flutie?
