WHERE ARE THEY
NOW?
In
an effort to keep us up to speed with former Rage players
and staff, Rage Management is launching a new section to
the webpage; "WHERE ARE THEY NOW?".
Over the almost ten years of the existence of the
Rage-Nation many players and personnel have come and gone.
This section is devoted to those who have passed through our
doors. Please enjoy the stories.

Gerald "Hurricane" Harris
Gerald "Hurricane" Harris came to the
Rage in 2004 while attending college. He played defensive back for the team as
they garnered their first Division and Conference Championship. But "Hurricane"
had loftier ideas; he moved on to his "Ultimate" goal. Below is his bio.
Bio
This father of two is not your typical mixed martial arts fighter. The
affable Gerald Harris attended East Central High in Tulsa before attending
Cleveland State University, where he received his bachelor’s degree in
history. Harris has always been athletic - he wrestled all throughout
college and even played semi-pro football. While he was in college, Harris
pursued one of his lifelong dreams: stand up comedy. Though he was fairly
successful, he realized that there just wasn’t enough money in it for him
and that he needed a stable income. Harris decided to become a high school
history teacher, teaching two years in Florida and for one year at his
alma mater in Tulsa. He got into mixed martial arts through the
recommendation of a friend who knew of his athletic prowess. Fighting is
not a new concept to the Harris family. Gerald”s father was a competitive
boxer and bestowed the name “Hurricane” on his son. Outside of MMA, Harris
loves to draw but his goal in life is to make his mark in the UFC and win
a belt.

Patrick "Wolverine" Flanagan
Patrick Flanagan, a survivor of the 2002 Orlando Starz, played Wide Receiver
with the Rage/Starz in 2002 and 2003 before he traded in the stadium lights for
the bright lights of Hollywood.
Now making his living as a stuntman and actor,
Patrick's regular "gig" is working at Universal Studios as a stuntman in the T-3
show and others between his big screen appearances. Patrick's best known movie
appearance was in Pirates of the Caribbean 3; At World's End.
Look for Patrick "Wolverine" Flanagan

MICHAEL SHANNON
Mike Shannon was one of the original "Rage"
players and staff having been the motivating force behind the Space Coast
Panthers SSFL team in the late 1990's. In 2002, the Panthers and the former
Orlando Starz of the now-defunct UFL merged to create the Rage as we now know
them.
Mike played linebacker and fullback for the
Panthers from 1998 through 2001.
Mike now makes his home in Rockledge,
Florida where he owns and operates "BUILDING BODIES FITNESS CENTER".

ANDREW G. HAINES
The former Orlando
Starz was the brainchild of Andrew G. Haines, a
self-described "Entrepreneur". In 1999, Andrew moved to
the central Florida area with his family and couldn't
stand to be on the sidelines any longer. Therefore, he
did what any businessman would do; he started his own
team, the Orlando Starz.
Andrew played
linebacker for the Starz from 2001 through 2002.
From the basic
groundwork that Andrew did the Orlando Rage now exist.
Andrew is currently
operating
www.BizSellers.com an online business brokerage, as
well as having his hands in a number of other
sports-related ventures. |
