I'm saying it now - execute every member of the packer org

[Tyrone Bigguns]

I think "pogrom" is a good word and should be used more in contexts like this.

Pogroms! Get your pogroms! Can't tell the Packers from the Bears without your pogroms!

good one!!!

The Packers beat a fairly decent Bears team so I am not willing to "kill" anyone. They will bounce back, how far remains to be seen. This entire season was set up to be a throw away one for McCarthy and Thompson by switching to the 3-4. No one is going to get fired no matter what happens this season. That switch guaranteed everyone a job for 2 seasons.

I suspect you're right about Ted, but I'm not sure McCarthy would survive another 6-10 campaign. I'm hoping we don't have to find out.

I'm not so sure, Scott. If you look at the schedule, 8-8 looks very possible, even considering the crummy way they've played to this point. Do you blow it up at 8-8, when true to form from the past 3 years McCarthy's teams play lights out in December?

I fear you've got the same "false hope" we had after last season and the preseason.

Merlin might be right. If they improve as the season goes along, they could both get another year.

It's actually from the Russian громить, which is "to destroy violently", so I'm pretty sure it applies here.

That verb actually means "to thunder," but googling it will get you "destroy violently." Contextually, it would mean "to bring the thunder."

I only spent 6 hours a day for a year learning Russian in the service, so WTF do I know???

ty knew 2 guys at madison who did that as well, you attend madison in the mid 80s?

ty has another friend who after college when to DLI...and learned russian, was posted in germany.

Still bitter that the curtain fell, ruined his post service job opps.

I flunked out of UW-Zero in the early 80s. Went to DLI, learned Russian and was posted at Ft. Hood, TX...you know, where all the Russians are.

I could have worked at the NSA when I went back to the real world, but decided to head back to Oshburg to get hitched and finish that BS degree.

What a yutz.

[pbmax]

One step too far Ty. Pogrom would have been far enough.

[bobblehead]

A "Packocide" if you will

Ty has softened his stance, the rising sun brings new hope. Ty is ok with lacing the gatorade. They all can die without knowing the reason.

Ty is merciful.

If we used this method would we have to spare James Jones?

2 guys I knew were a Mike and Scott (scooter). Mike went to DLI i think outta high school b4 going to madison. Scott went, as i remember, similar to you. Scott had a huge boat of a car...forget what model, but painted pink.

Mike had a porsche...not to many college kids have porsches..even if they are used.

My buddy, kent went i think in late 80s, but at least got posted in germany. Use to say he had a clearance level that even Prez Bush couldnt' get into when he visited. Couldn't get top level security as his playing tennis with a east german had them questioning his values. Use to really piss him off about that.

Any chance you knew mike or scott?

One step too far Ty. Pogrom would have been far enough.

Not sure i understand? What is the difference?

[pbmax]

Pogrom, even if tied to a specific time period against a certain population, is clearly about heedless violence.

"[F]ilthy Jews" would be clearly about heedless bigotry.

I know the entire thread is sarcastic, but in challenging the pitchfork and torch mentality over McCarthy and Thompson's jobs, pogrom is of a kind with insults hurled at them.

Insulting a religion is an area even the most vocal critics haven't gone. And no one will recognize the connection of scapegoats.

I was in a Reserve unit in Madison from 86-89. It's more likely that I would have run into them there, if they did some Reserve time.
