Doug Flutie wore number "22" in college because that was Burt's number in The Longest Yard.

Damn. I used to love him and Robert Blake on the Tonight Show with Carson. My favorite guests. RIP Burt.

Died from cardiac arrest.

Sharkey's Machine still one of my favorite all-time movies....he could have banged anyone in his heyday yet chose Sally Field and Dinah Shore....still believe the rumors he was a switch hitter.

His roommate at Florida State? Lee Corso.

Bert spent some time in Nashville. Used to get it on Dolly Pardon, and Tammy Wynette. Real ladies man.

The Longest Yard was a damn good movie. So was Deliverance.
