PackerRats Glossary

[KYPack]

Love Stubby...MM fit Stubby before I knew its correct usage was primarily directed at his intractable nature. I use it frequently, and in proper context people unfamiliar with the term but fully familiar with Stubby immediately catch its reference and meaning; I daresay the term is metastasizing like a Cleft Crusty squamous cell butt mole.

I liked the Packer People definition, but would point out that Packer People has several possible usage profiles: it can be applied in all seriousness, as in Blake Martinez is Packer People; its negative can be used just as seriously, as in Colt Lyerla is not Packer People; and its facetious use must be understood as well, as in Letroy Guion was bringing home cash and bud for his fam 'cause he's Packer People.

Goddamn, Swede.

That was deep.

Sorta.

[Fritz]

Swede is just Packer People.

Belichickism: the doctrines and professional football strategies developed or inspired by Bill Belichick, especially the utilization of ALL aspects of player acquisitions - draft, trade, free agency - competently and constantly. Belichickism includes the exploitation of loop holes for competitive advantages.

Hard to argue with that hahahahaha. He sure flies in the face of the old thing about "Winners never cheat, and Cheaters never win".

Grabby McSmurf was Packer cornerback Ahman Carroll. He was dwarf-like. Listed at 5'10", he looked shorter than that. His nick came from his habit of not being able to keep his cotton pickin hands off receivers.

Who hung that name on him?

I'd guess Nutz or Skin. Those boys were usually at the bottom of most mischief in those days.

We were remiss not to remember that Mike Sherman and his coaches at one time put Ahmad Carroll in boxing gloves to help teach him how to play press man and not grab the opponent in such a way as to draw a flag.

Nothing captured the moment of a player and his struggle to develop more than Carroll in boxing gloves in DB drills. Like a 6 year old wearing socks on their hands to bed so they don't pick their nose during the night.

Clusterfavre: A situation that has gone bad in multiple ways. Can't just be any contretemps, but must pit fans against each other in a battle that neither side wants to concede even after events have rendered a verdict.

As in, your recent Pro Bowl and HoF quarterback is agitating about retiring for a couple of years to increase leverage over the team so you draft a QB in the first round. Then, after a huge letdown in an NFC Championship game you should have won, you feel forced to retire, only to see the team move on without missing a beat. Feeling forced out, you develop an itch to play again in Summer. Everyone takes sides as no one can imagine jettisoning this QB for a 4th year player with no starts.

The bitterness must also last a good long while. Say, more than 3 years.

nice. you can use "ish" also...i.e. that was a very belichickish move Gute just made. or you can use "ism" for something he's said (or might say) in the past...i.e. it's only a sprain...not open-heart surgery.

Next up: JAG

[Joemailman]

JAG:

Candidate for the prestigious A.J. Hawk Award. A player who does nothing discernably wrong, but does nothing discernably noticeable. Examples would be a leading tackler who never ventires into the offensive backfield, or a running back who averages between 3.5 and 3.9 Ypc.

[mraynrand]

JAG (addendum): Just A Guy (thought it might be valuable to spell it out for the one person who doesn't know). My candidate for the Packer JAG poster boy is Brad Jones. A whole lot of playing time and a whole lot of nothing special at all.

[pbmax]

I think Bretsky coined that one for Jones. Fritz made it Lawrence Guy's nickname.

Next up: Bring Black!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Next up: Bring Black!

I could be wrong, but "Bring Black": Brainchild of Mobb, Bring Black is a wordplay on the desire for the return of a certain individual once associated with the Packers, usually that person is of African ancestry.
