Okay, Blue Dog - maybe you're right. They missed the "poor" end of the spectrum. Maybe that color coding needed to be more extensive.

Brown - Bad player. Shitty.
Brown, streaked with red - a player who is not only bad but is representative of a larger sickness in the team.
Brown, with corn - bad player, but colorful.
Blackish-brown - a bad player who ate far too much steak the night before.
