Now we get to see if MM's is right.

Rodgers’s?

Rodgers’s?

It's a southern thing...like "y'alls's."

[George Cumby]

"All y'all" I believe is the alternative plural.

McCarthy's stubborn loyalty to his system and his way is what is destroying this team. He believes he can do the same thing game in and game out and win...because he's been blessed to have Favre and Rodgers under center for him.

Give McCarthy an average QB, and his team would never win more than 6 games in this league.

He sticks with his system because it has worked in the past. But if he cannot/will not tweak it when things are going south he won't be around very long.

Rodgers’s?

That would be the proper possessive form of Rodgers :0.

But then this could be interpreted to mean that the downturn is far, far deeper than Rodgers.

I had to look it up, because the alternative was to think about that final kick again (aw shit, I did it anyway). Take the pop quiz losers. I have the teachers's (teachers'?) edition with all the answers'



Apostrophes with Words Ending in s
While normal people wonder about apostrophes in general, believe it or not, word nerds have heated arguments over whether to use an additional s with singular possession.

Rule 1: Many common nouns end in the letter s (lens, cactus, bus, etc.). So do a lot of proper nouns (Mr. Jones, Texas, Christmas). There are conflicting policies and theories about how to show possession when writing such nouns. There is no right answer; the best advice is to choose a formula and stay consistent.
Some writers and editors add ‘s to every proper noun, be it Hastings’s or Jones’s. And there are a few who add only an apostrophe to all nouns ending in s—however, this method is relatively rare, and not recommended here.
One method, common in newspapers and magazines, is to add an apostrophe plus s (-‘s) to common nouns ending in s, but only a stand-alone apostrophe to proper nouns ending in s.

Examples:
the class’s hours
Mr. Jones’ golf clubs
The canvas’s size
Texas’ weather

Another widely used technique is to write the word as we would speak it. For example, since most people saying “Mr. Hastings’ pen” would not pronounce an added s, we would write Mr. Hastings’ pen with no added s. But most people would pronounce an added s in “Jones’s,” so we’d write it as we say it: Mr. Jones’s golf clubs. This method explains the punctuation of for goodness’ sake.

Rule 2: To show plural possession of a word ending in an s or s sound, form the plural first; then immediately use the apostrophe.

Examples:
the classes’ hours
the Joneses’ car
guys’ night out
two actresses’ roles



Pop Quiz
Place the apostrophe (and perhaps an s) where appropriate.

1. The classes opinions were predictable according to their grade levels.
2. The boss suit was brand new.
3. The bus steering wheel was wearing out.
4. The Crosses dog bit the mailman.
5. We understand Lagos airport handled over one million passengers last year.
6. The Smiths boat sank.

While normal people wonder about apostrophes in general...

I don't believe this for a second

you sound abnormal

[pbmax]

Apostrophe at the end, after the terminal 's'.

Forming the plural first is an abomination.

Y'alls's grammar up yonder sucks worse than the Packers'ss's OLine.

On a different note - but one that is about leadership, which was the original focus of this thread, albeit about the coaching staff - where the hell is Mike Daniels's voice in all this?

He was, for a while, the big vocal leader, calling people out and all that. Remember? We even discussed this extensively in a thread.

So where's his voice in the lockerroom? Where is his voice explaining this shit to the media and fans?

Calling Mike Daniels. Come in, Mike Daniels.
