The Official Barney Fuckdoggle Award Thread

[Fritz]

No fuckdoggles for the SD game, I don't think. Janis caught two long passes, but he didn't save the day.

Saginaw Valley State guy drafted in the seventh round. Just a few days ago he was getting blasted for special teams and allegedly being too stupid. Three WRs above him injured, playing in a game the offense is struggling heavily and that goes down to the last play. He gets 79 yards and some other good plays. Seems like a good candidate.

At first glance I thought the same, but 1) he gained time coming in for an injured player (Montgomery, who was a backup himself), 2) no Packer had more receptions than Janis and 3) Janis had more than twice as many receiving yards as the receiver with the second most yards (Cobb 38).

In a marginal offensive day, Janis' catches made a difference, so I'm inclined to give him the Fuckdoggle.

The block and the catches = Fuckdoogle.

wins the buttfucker one week and the fuckdongle the next?

With your permission, I'm going to start new threads for the "buttfucker" award and the "fuckdongle".

Why not a "Fuckdoogle" while we're at it? Cock a fuckdoogle do!

I agree with Fritz on this one. As much as I'd like to give him the fuckdoggle, I don't think two receptions and a block (and continued special teams play) merits it. Two more long receptions might have done it, but only if they came on well-run routes instead of broken plays/scramble drills.

[Harlan Huckleby]

If you look at past Fuckdoogle Award winners, they didn't have great games, they just made some plays that weren't expected from unknowns. Janis hits that mark, although perhaps barely.

Yes, but the Fuckdoggle is not your run-of-the-mill award. It is about some yahoo getting unexpected play time, often due to injuries, and pissing off opposing fans by doing something unexpected. Actual analysis of the performance and its the import on the game is secondary to the true spirit of the reward. The real test is if you can imagine Collingsworth saying "Hey, I really like this Barney Fuckdoggle guy," while the opposing fans are swearing at their screen.

Absolutely Janis. He totally fits the bill. Saved the Packers with a couple of big plays coming to of nowhere. His big deep reception was on an overthrow to Rodgers, so he saved A. Rodger's bacon there. Also might have had another big play had Rodgers thrown him the ball right away earlier.

In fairness to Rodgers, there were a couple of plays where Janis lined up totally wrong and had to be redirected. That kinda cuts down on the trust factor.

[MadScientist]

SD's O-line scrubs fit the bill better than Janis, but this is our award, and they can create their own Fuckdudele award.

Oh fer christ sakes, give it to Janis, we need to throw the boy guy a frickin bone...

Alright. You swayed me. He hit it barely, but he still hit it.

Aaron Rodgers confirmed after the game the throw was to Janis (although he could be blowing smoke). Neither Janis nor RailRoad Richard Rodgers knew at the time who his intended target was.
