Sanctions, Shmanctions!

It was suggested to me that I use the bye week to talk about the scandals that are rocking along with Alabama (D.J. Fluker), Tennessee (Tyler Bray and Maurice Couch) and Mississippi State (Chad Bumphis and Fletcher Cox).  I sat down to write about it and realized that I would rather drop a hot coal in my left eye than talk about NCAA scandals and sanctions.

Instead, the fascinating folks at Fishduck International (Leaders in Liquidity since 1956) have come up with some sanctions of our own.

1. Skyview High School Sanctioned For Premature Jocularity:  Far be it from fishduck.com to ever smirk at something that happens to athletes from the state of Washington, but last Friday night Skyview blocks a Columbia River field goal attempt at the end of the game and forgets to secure the ball before making like Pete Carroll after every first down.  It would not be surprising if one or two players forgot.  Given that it’s in Washington, it would even be understandable if five of them forgot.  But all eleven players?

2.  The Jacksonville Jaguars Sanctioned for Fraudulently Claiming to Be an NFL Team:  The Jaguars have played, arguably — (Not really arguably.  I wonder why people say that when they don’t mean it) — two of the worst teams in the NFL (Kansas City and Oakland) to open their 2013-14 season.  They have been outscored 49-11.  The situation has gotten so dire that ownership has considered bringing in Tim Tebow.  Not as a quarterback of course, just as a superhero.

Tim Tebow...actual size

Tim Tebow . . . actual size

3.  Oregon State Sanctioned for Spiking the Kool-Aid:  Oregon State fans, giddy over recent victories vs. Hawaii, The Island of Dr. Moreau, and Wizard Island in Crater Lake, are calling for a Heisman campaign featuring quarterback Sean Mannion.  When asked, Head Coach Mike Riley had this to say:

4.  University of Washington Sanctioned for Presumption of Interest When There is Less Than None:  Sometimes this stuff just writes itself.  The University of Washington Alumni Association has announced a viewing party for selected games this season . . . in Albany.  No, not I-5’s Albany.  That would be bad enough.  U-Dull alums are getting together to wing some dings at Legends Sports Lounge in Albany, New York!  Make your reservations now.  Space is limi . . . no it isn’t.  Show up anytime.

New 2024 FishDuck Publishing Schedule….

During the off-season the FishDuck.com publishing schedule will consist of articles on Mondays and Tuesdays. Do keep checking as new articles could be published during the week when a writer has something to say.

In mid-August of 2024, we will go back to the seven-days-a-week of articles during the football season as we did in the football season of 2023.

The Our Beloved Ducks Forum (OBD) is where we we discuss the article above and many more topics, as it is so much easier in a message board format over there.  At the free OBD forum we will be posting Oregon Sports article links, the daily Press Releases from the Athletic Department and the news coming out every day.

Our 33 rules at the free OBD Forum can be summarized to this: 1) be polite and respectful, 2) do not tell anyone what to think, feel or write, and 3) no reference of any kind to politics. Easy-peasy!

OBD Forum members….we got your back.  No Trolls Allowed!
