Boston College quarterback Doug Flutie meets Monday with New Jersey Generals` owner Donald Trump amid growing evidence the Heisman Trophy winner will sign soon with the United States Football League team for at least $1 million a year. Flutie, his father, Richard, and his attorney, Bob Woolf, have a lunch date with Trump in New York and may meet with him again Monday night. ”From that (luncheon) meeting it is quite possible that we could reach a commitment or agreement,” Woolf said. ”It`s just a friendly thing,” Richard Flutie said of the lunch with Trump. ”It`s really to convince Don that Doug is very serious, and he is.”
— Art Rooney, owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers since their inception in 1932, said Franco Harris` holdout last summer was ”the most frustrating thing that ever happened to me in all my years of sports . . . I couldn`t figure out what the reason could be.”
