Wrong
Packer People
Packer People is any incoming player that achieves the high bar of membership into joining the Packers organization and contributing to the success of the team on the field while staying out of trouble off of it. This type of player works hard, talks less, and tows the company line. Off the field they are involved in community benefit activities, hold bible study groups, and most importantly stay out of trouble with the law. These types of players are the expected norm in Green Bay while all the other teams in the NFL don't mind and in fact actively seek out bad seeds to be part of their gangster organizations.
Packer People is a high bar to achieve, some say even impossible. Yet Green Bay has a roster of 53 Packer People each and every season which is utterly incredible.
*Editor's Note - Packer People has been proven a fallacy.
Next up Stubby
Before we get to Stubby, let us also remind everyone that whenever a player, particularly a defensive lineman, does something stupid in regards to the law ("Hey, let me bring a gun into the parking deck and shoot it off!" "Hey, I think I'll get drunk and high on my birthday and then go for a drive!") he is also labeled "Packer People." As in, "Letroy Guion, he's just like Cletidus Hunt - just good Packer People!"

This leads to things like running the ball with an out of shape running back named Wynn until he collapses with cramps. Or just running endlessly because the scouting report showed that the opposition is susceptible to the run. Even when they lose a d back. Even when you have Rodgers and Nelson, Jones, Jennings, Findley, and Driver all hoping to connect on a pass. And Lord knows he will 'play the odds' at the end of a game to run the clock out, no matter how the momentum swings. he knows the odds damnit! We will win using this run the clock, force the opposition to use up it's TOs, and minimize the opponents possessions strategy. No way some guy will flub the onside kick and ruin the whole thing, right? On the Tubby side, who can ignore that McCarthy is starting to become an astronomical phenomena? Like Denny Green before him, McCarthy is starting to register on Cal Tech instruments as an independent gravity well. Stubby most likely and typically eats at fine restaurants, but no doubt slums at the Golden Corral for some comfort food from the trough after a particularly tough loss, of this I'm certain. Stubby is a Great coach, in all the definitions of the term. And stubborn. Don't ever forget that.Quote:

I liked the Packer People definition, but would point out that Packer People has several possible usage profiles: it can be applied in all seriousness, as in Blake Martinez is Packer People; its negative can be used just as seriously, as in Colt Lyerla is not Packer People; and its facetious use must be understood as well, as in Letroy Guion was bringing home cash and bud for his fam 'cause he's Packer People.
Have we covered all the terms?
I have at least 20 more. Plus I am certain I forgot more than a few.Quote:

Swede is just Packer People.
Belichickism: the doctrines and professional football strategies developed or inspired by Bill Belichick, especially the utilization of ALL aspects of player acquisitions - draft, trade, free agency - competently and constantly. Belichickism includes the exploitation of loop holes for competitive advantages.
Hard to argue with that hahahahaha. He sure flies in the face of the old thing about "Winners never cheat, and Cheaters never win".Quote:

Clusterfavre: A situation that has gone bad in multiple ways. Can't just be any contretemps, but must pit fans against each other in a battle that neither side wants to concede even after events have rendered a verdict.
As in, your recent Pro Bowl and HoF quarterback is agitating about retiring for a couple of years to increase leverage over the team so you draft a QB in the first round. Then, after a huge letdown in an NFC Championship game you should have won, you feel forced to retire, only to see the team move on without missing a beat. Feeling forced out, you develop an itch to play again in Summer. Everyone takes sides as no one can imagine jettisoning this QB for a 4th year player with no starts.
The bitterness must also last a good long while. Say, more than 3 years.
Next up: ???? can't find the list, hang on
nice. you can use "ish" also...i.e. that was a very belichickish move Gute just made. or you can use "ism" for something he's said (or might say) in the past...i.e. it's only a sprain...not open-heart surgery.Quote:
