Gerg's Beaver explained
An NFL live piece that originally aired in 1997 was just replayed. It was discussing "smash for cash" bounty programs that had been in place for years. They also talked about the beaver. Apparently Gerg had rewarded players with the honor of wearing a beaver after big hits or great play, since the beaver is the "hardest working in the animal kingdom". He tried to continue the tradition. We all know what happened then.

Haha I love how Bill Romanowski, one of the craziest people ever, thought Gerg was crazy when he pulled out a stuffed beaver in practice and yelled, "The beaver is out! The beaver is out!" Oh, Gerg. It was fun. If you define fun as having your eyes clawed out by a rabid beaver.

OK, Gerg, We're the freakin'
OK, Gerg, We're the freakin'
OK, Gerg, We're the freakin' Wolverines, are we not? Why not use a wolverine instead of a beaver while acting as our d-coordinator at least? If you personally believe beavers are better, then I can't blame you for using them while coaching for any of your other teams. However, if I was a wolverine.. I'd take it very harshly that you used a beaver instead of one of my own while coaching the Wolverines. I mean, it doesn't make sense really. If we were the Michigan Ducks, I'd understand. I'm sure a beaver could kill a duck quite handily. But a wolverine would absolutely DESTROY a beaver. I honestly think more people would have understood him if he used a wolverine instead of a beaver to help motivate our defense, and honestly.. he might have even received some props for that.
EVERYTHING MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE NOW.

Don't think that he understood that it was not the stuffed animal that motivated the NFL players, but it was the stack of cash for hard hits/forced turnovers/etc. that they were playing for that motivated them.
Thought the whole stuffed animal thing was weird before, after seeing him today talking or not talking about it, it is actually really creepy.

He's been doing it since his NFL days in the 90s!! He uses beaver because a beaver is the most dillegent animal in the animal kingdom.
It's a metaphor for working hard. It's stupid.

All the comments and video clips in the last 50 posts on this thread that appear to be using the term "beaver" as slang for something else, are of course talking about an actual beaver.
