Former Buffalo Bills quarterback Doug Flutie is brining back ‘Flutie Flakes’ as he is raising money for his charity organization
He was only with the Buffalo Bills for three seasons but Doug Flutie quickly became a fan favorite — and still is to this day. And now, 20 years after he first suited up for the Bills, he’s bringing back his famous ‘Flutie Flakes’ cereal.
When the Bills host the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, the cereal will be for sale at New Era Field. Flutie will also be on hand as well as he is being honored as a ‘Legend of the Game’.
The cereal was released in 1998 when a 36-year-old Flutie had just joined Buffalo. Originally a backup Flutie ended up starting 10 games and was 7-3. He was even named to the Pro Bowl that season — his one and only trip.

A breakfast renaissance: Flutie Flakes returning after 20 years — Michael Rothstein, ESPN
"“Doug Flutie is still amazed by this, his name and likeness on a cereal box still mattering to anyone. Flutie Flakes seemed like a novelty in 1998.Maybe, he thought, they’d sell a few thousand boxes. Instead, they sold 2.3 million. Now, 20 years later, Flutie Flakes are making a comeback to once again try to raise money for the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism.”"
Flutie’s cereal is being sold to help raise money for the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism and is going to be sold online at Wegman’s according to the article by Rothstein. Flutie was a star in the NFL, USFL, and the CFL. He played in the NFL until the age of 43 despite being undersized at just 5-10.
So, is Josh Allen a good quarterback now? — James Brady, SB Nation
"“What the Bills needed from Allen was for his arm to catch up with his legs. This season, that has started to happen.”"
Funny what happens when a guy starts to get some weapons around him. For whatever reason, Josh Allen was a polarizing figure in the 2018 NFL Draft and people were quick to dismiss him. But now that he has the Bills winning, they’re starting to realize that he was well worth the investment. And the best part is, he’s still learning the game.
"“Sunday’s game between the Bills and Ravens has big AFC playoff implications. It’ll also hold a great deal of significance for two primary ball handlers in the game. Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson and Buffalo running back Devin Singletary grew up just 10 minutes away from each other in South Florida. And once, just once, they squared off in the South Florida Youth Football League.”"
Those who saw the two kids play the game back then knew they were both special. And now, they get to see one another on the field once again.
Bills key free agent additions on pace for career years
One of the reasons Josh Allen is turning it around this season is the way Cole Beasley and John Brown have fit into this offense. Both are on pace for career-years, making their signing this offseason look brilliant.
Ron Rivera to Buffalo Bills so crazy it could work
Ron Rivera and Sean McDermott worked together in Carolina from 2011 through 2016. The pair could reunite in Buffalo now that the Panthers relieved Rivera of his head coaching duties.
