Bostickler Trophy

[Patler]

Speaking of TV shows, after one horrible loss a couple weeks ago, MM showed up for "The Mike McCarthy Show" late wearing loafers and no socks with a suit coat topside. It was one of the funniest goddamn thing I've ever seen. I think he figured he sits behind a dais or desk and nobody would notice. But at end of segment, the camera showed side view of the haggard coach's bare ankles and calves. A fat man in a dark suite and loafers without socks is quite a scene.

I've seen that every week from him, loafers and no socks.

its funny, did anyone else see the larry mac show a couple weeks ago?

adams walked on to the stage like a conquering hero after catching 9 out of 21 targets thrown to him or whatever it was

of our course, much like with the o-line, Larry saw nothing wrong with adams and did nothing but gush about his performance

is larry on the team payroll?

Larry is on the team payroll. So is Tausch I think.

yep, they are team hacks. There are two extremes, it seems: the bootlickers and the trolls. Where is that independent, neutral, balanced, hard-boiled realism? The journalism that doesn't get you pulitzers, doesn't earn you more than $0.63/hour, but earns you the respect of fans everywhere. I am asking: where is Cleft Crusty?

It is a sad commentary on our times when the Bostickler gets more play than the FuckDoggle. Sad times, indeed.

Didn't Tauscher have a reputation as a player of being very insightful, quoteful, etc, etc? I expected him to become a great commentator.

He is hovering between being insightful and having any interesting to say being programmed out of him by producers. If you listen to the Badger home games which he works, he does sometimes give good info. But he is clearly trying to morph into a slick narrative teller.

Vic Ketchum, or whatever his name is, is on the Packer payroll, and he manages to be critical and take positions sometimes.

Larry very gingerly will criticize the team. Tausch is like a Little League dad, his kids are all above average.

Speaking of the Rock, I get a kick out of when he interviews players in lockerroom after a loss. He lowers his voice and speaks in sympathetic tones, as if he is interviewing parents who just lost a child. Hokey. Maybe the players took the game that seriously in Lar's day.

I agree. That always cracks me up. Someone needs to tell Larry that today's player will have forgotten the game a few minutes after firing up the PS4.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

dickrod said afterwards in an interview with nfln that he was suppose to box out on the play and that davonte was the guy who was suppose to catch the ball.

but once he saw the ball he decided he just had to go get it

sound familiar?

[red]

if that doesn't get him the bostickler, i don't know what does

he did the same damn thing. he just caught the ball

[pbmax]

Well, since securing the ball is job #1, he gets a pass. No one will remember him changing the assignment, just the catch.

[George Cumby]

Had Bostick caught that ball, we wouldn't even have this thread so count your blessings......or not.........

[Patler]

In fairness to Rodgers (and Bostick), even other players at the time of the Bostick bungle said everyone can go after the ball, but if it isn't their assignment they better be certain to get it. Going for it isn't wrong for Bostick, going for it and failing to get it made it wrong.

If that Hail Mary play was yet another target for Adams, I really wonder what the hell Adams has on Stubby. Maybe he caught the coach late at night alone in the locker room or something and had his cell phone on him.
