      Thanks for seconding my motion, Rand. (By the way, I don't want to be a stickler for form, but your spelling of Fuckdoogle doesn't comport with the original: fuckdoggle. Just wondering if this is by design, given your one-time status as Supreme Fuckdoggle Leader, or whether it's an oversight. I must admit, fuckdoogle does have a better ring to it.)
      I was under the impression that once "fuckdoggle" became a thing, an award, the term then became a proper noun and therefore merited capitalization.

      And Rand, as odious as he was/is, may be a preferable alternative to the despot now in charge.

      Be careful for what you wish for, every solution breeds new problems and all that.

        Rand was much more preferable. Too bad that ship has sailed.

          At the risk of appearing the foolish victim of sarcasm, I would point out that it is not capitalization, but the omission of a "g" and the addition of an "o" that seemed an egregious violation at the time.

          Now, of course, I'm cool with Rand's hijinks and fomentation at the mouth. Yours as well, if that be the case.
          One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

            I saw something in a JSO blog, I think, that suggested it might be possible for Quarless to serve whatever suspension he gets while he's on IR.

            Maybe Ted's got this all parsed out.

            I hope so, cuz wouldn't it suck if Q. came back after his designated IR time was up, been practicing for the two weeks allowed prior, only to get suspended for three games or something upon his return?

            Doh!

                I want to believe that Quarless serving a suspension on IR-DTR is going to drive other fans nuts. But it has to have happened before.

                Too bad; winning and getting away with something (even just the whiff of it) is intoxicating. Just ask the Patriots.
                Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                  The big punishment for Q is he loses pay and lots of it. It's true that the Packer fans and team catch a break, but those are innocent parties.

                    It looks like for this weekend the Pack will activate Backman. Maybe use Josh Walker sometimes.

                    I'm guessing they bring-up Perillo or add a player next week who can be a full-featured TE in case DickRod stubs a toe.

                    Who knows, maybe Backman will get some passes and become the new darling for an award of some sort. Or perhaps Perillo/Other will be as good as Q. We'll have 8 games to see. Let the scary post-Quarless era begin!

                      • Quarless was supposed to go to trial this week. The trial got delayed until Nov 30. This means he'll likely have to serve any suspension during late season. This is a crummy development.

                          The NFL tends to take their time with these things. If the trial doesn't start until Nov. 30, there's probably a good chance any suspension would be put off until next season.

                          • Will there even be a suspension for this? For a misdemeanor of discharging a firearm in public? If there is, I imagine it will be short, perhaps a game. Apparently he didn't threaten anyone.

                            I wonder why the trail was postponed. Seems like it would be a good time to get it out of the way, while he isn't practicing anyway.

                            • Quarless gets to play one game before his court date. I think it's impossible to predict what the suspension will be, odd situation. I sure wish it would have gotten settled sooner than later, and I doubt the delay was Quarless's choice.

                              I think the offense misses a credible #2 TE.

                                Not as much as it misses a credible #1 TE.
