Who is Flats?

Exactly!

Flaherty

[Redskins Rick]

I wasn't suggesting folks didn't call him that.

My fault, I quoted the wrong poster.

The thread starter had mentioned he hadn't heard this nickname before.

Sorry.

I figured that's who it was, but wasn't positive. I like it.

I think it would be fine if Flash hadn't already been established.

Why "Tippecanoe"? Just curious.

I'll give you a hint, it's a presidential election reference.
