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.

I'm pretty certain I coined this phrase. Stubborn + Tubby = Stubby. Mike McCarthy is a stubborn man, often more in legend than reality. The legend and the reality is that Stubby refuses to budge, to adapt his gameplay to emerging situations, because, by God his plan is solid and should work. 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.

Love Stubby...MM fit Stubby before I knew its correct usage was primarily directed at his intractable nature. I use it frequently, and in proper context people unfamiliar with the term but fully familiar with Stubby immediately catch its reference and meaning; I daresay the term is metastasizing like a Cleft Crusty squamous cell butt mole.

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.

Goddamn, Swede.

That was deep.

Sorta.

This is very true. I've used Stubby while watching a Packer game with my dad who has no clue of this forum or the term. He knew exactly who I was talking about and got "it" immediately. He even embraced the usage himself, and I've heard him refer to MM as Stubby since that time. Love it.

And to add something of questionable value.

I'd define BFFFs if I knew what it was. Guess that's why this is the thread we need, even if we don't deserve it.
