Severin Joseph Checkaye (January 6, 1893 – November 18, 1970) was a professional football player, coach and owner.
Checkaye began his pro football career in 1913 playing for the Fort Wayne Friars.
They were scheduled to play again on November 13, 1921, against the Green Bay Packers, however that game was cancelled, leaving the Flyers with a 0–2 APFA record.
Cooney cited that the salaries, transportation and operating costs were just too steep for the team's gate receipts.
The team played nine of eleven games in Jonesboro and finished with a 6–2–3 record before disbanding for good that year.
