The Official Barney Fuckdoggle Award Thread

[Upnorth]

Also Elliott is still surprisingly good in my (international) opinion.

So far, we have Elliott or nobody. Elliott is approaching ineligible status (baring extenuating circumstances), so this might be one of his last chances. I would lean toward giving him a last chance at glory, but it is a close call IMO.

I don't see a FD award this week.

Elliot has to outdo his previous fuckdoggle win in order to win again. He didn't, so he doesn't win and the award remains vacated for week 4.

I think this makes a great deal of sense. Simply playing at his previous level is no longer that much of a surprise. He is a victim of his own success, but the Fuckdoggle is a harsh mistress.

I think Elliott should be eligible all season and ineligible next season.

It is not so much that he is ineligible, as does his play fit the spirit of the award?

Chiefs at Packers: The Packers have a knack for having unheralded players step up and play well when it matters most and it is fucking INFURIATING. I would like the loss of a star player to crush them. But NO… no, they always have some asshole behind him ready to go because they’re committed to internal player development because they’re so goddamn PERFECT. Bah! I want scrubs to be SCRUBS. I want to be able to laugh at a rival team for having to put Barney Fuckdoggle in at corner or whatever. It’s a real let-down when Barney turns into a hidden gem, and Collinsworth is like, “You know, Al. I think I really LIKE this Fuckdoggle guy!” That never happens with my team. With my team, the shitty players are shitty.

I think the counter argument is that he has established a certain level of play by now and may not be a "hidden-gem" that would elicit Collinsworth to make the surprised statement from the quote above. Either way is fine for the award since we have no past history, but we need to make a decision one way or the other.

Would Kuhn count? One of the only players to play for a different team, not good, on the roster because he is ARs friend and dating Olivia Munn's ugly friend.

Maybe years ago when he first got significant playtime. He made a probowl -- there is no chance in hell for ever winning this award once that happens.

Sorry, but there can be no honorable mention for the fuckdoggle. You either fuckdoggled it or you didn't. Nothing in between.

That's right, no half-assing the FuckDoggle

I want this to be true. Especially the second part.

However Olivia's "ugly" friends probably do all right in more normal circumstances.
