Early years

Doughty was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1951.^[1] He attended Pershing High School.^[2]

University of Michigan

Doughty also played college football as a tailback and wingback for the University of Michigan from 1969 to 1971.^[3] He gained 2,347 all-purpose yards for the Wolverines, including 1,464 rushing yards, 518 receiving yards, and 365 yards on kickoff returns.^[4] Doughty made his debut for Michigan under first-year head coach Bo Schembechler in 1969.^[5] In Doughty's first two games for Michigan (also Schembechler's first two games as Michigan's head coach), he rushed for 138 yards (including an 80-yard touchdown run on his first carry)^[6] in a 42–14 win against Vanderbilt and 191 yards in a 45–7 win against Washington.^[4][7] Doughty sustained injuries early in the season that slowed him down and allowed Billy Taylor to move from backup to starting tailback.^[8] Doughty did rush for 100 yards one more time during the 1969 season, in a 51–6 win against Iowa.^[4] He totaled 732 yards for the 1969 Michigan Wolverines football team, but he sustained an injury on Christmas Day while practicing for the 1970 Rose Bowl.^[9] Doughty was moved to the wingback position and started all 12 games at that position for the 1971 Michigan Wolverines football team.^[10] He scored three touchdowns in a 35–6 victory over Illinois in October 1971.^[11] After the 1971 season, Doughty was selected to play on the College Football All-Star Team.^[12]

Doughty graduated from Michigan in 1972 with a bachelor of science degree in education.^[2]

Professional football

Doughty played professional football as wide receiver for the Baltimore Colts from 1972 to 1979. He appeared in 103 games for the Colts, totaling 219 receptions for 3,547 yards and 24 touchdowns.^[1][13] He earned the nickname "Shake and Bake" during his years with the Colts,^[14][15][16] and the nickname was also extended to the 1975 Baltimore Colts offense.^[17]

In 1979, Doughty left the team for two days claiming that he was being subtly downgraded by Colts' coach Ted Marchibroda. The Baltimore Afro-American referred to the Colts' treatment of Doughty as "business as usual at Memorial Stadium," noting that Raymond Chester had complained the prior year that "an attitude of racism" on the Colts caused quarterback Bert Jones to "look away" from him.^[18][19] Doughty was cut by the Colts in August 1980 after struggling during the pre-season with a hamstring pull. He was the sixth leading receiver in Colts' history when his NFL career ended.^[20][16]

Shake and Bake Family Fun Center

After retiring from the Colts, Doughty announced plans to build the Shake and Bake Family Recreation Center in an African-American neighborhood of Baltimore. The project was supported by a $3.5 million loan from the City of Baltimore.^[21][22] Disputes over financing jeopardized the project in 1982,^[23][24] and disputes with construction workers also drew press coverage.^[25][26] The project was ultimately built with $4.7 million in development loans from the City of Baltimore, $150,000 invested by Doughty, and $1.2 million invested by four limited partners.^[14]

When the project, renamed the Shake and Bake Family Fun Center, opened in October 1982, Doughty called it a dream come true. The $5.2 million project was described by the Baltimore Afro-Amerian as "Doughty's gift to the inner city." The 70,000-square-foot (6,500 m²) structure included a 40-lane bowling alley, a 22,000-square-foot (2,000 m²) roller-skating rink, a sporting goods store, an "electronic game arcade," and two fast-food restaurants.^[27][28][29] In February 1984, Black Enterprise magazine wrote a story on the center, noting that the center had grossed $1 million in its first year and received 10,000 visits per week.^[14] The article concluded: "The complex is such a success that mayors from large cities around the U.S., studying inner city revitalization programs, have visited it."^[14]

In January 1985, shootings at the center and financial difficulties drew negative press to the project.^[30][31] After loan delinquencies mounted, the City took control of the project.^[32][33][34]

Later years

In 1985, after the City of Baltimore took over the Shake and Bake Family Fun center, Doughty moved with his family to St. Louis, Missouri.^[2] He co-founded a company called Takeoff Video Educational Excellence. The company produced videos designed to show positive multicultural role models for use in schools.^[35][36] In 1994, Takeoff was reorganized as Career Information Training Network. Doughty is the company's CEO.^[2]

Doughty and his wife, Janice Doughty, have two adult children, Derek Doughty and Nikedra Doughty.^[2]
