The Nard Dogg
I wasnt too sure about D. Robinson at qb when he first signed but after watching some videos and hearing from people that have watched him I'm pretty pumped about him. Sounds like he needs to work on his throwing still but it sounds like he's better than alot of people first thought. I hope we see some plays with him and Tate in on the same play. He is way too fast not to have on the field for 10 to 15 plays.
Does anyone know if he is open to moving to the slot if tate is the starter and with Gardner coming in next year? Of course i could be way off and he could be the starter at qb for years. I just hope he see's the field one way or another.

Not that any are exactly what you're asking for, but I know the idea of the slot was discussed and shot down several times.
August 23rd, 2009 at 2:39 PM ^
I dont remember hearing anything with him about playing slot.
August 23rd, 2009 at 2:37 PM ^
These questions have been covered many times in other threads, and my personal opinion is that coach Rod is taking a wait and see approach.
Still, +1 to you for the Office reference. In fact, I will probably +1 just about any Office reference because that show is hilarious.

That's what she said.

hey, you got any updogg?
August 23rd, 2009 at 2:48 PM ^
..what's updogg?!
August 23rd, 2009 at 2:47 PM ^
Anyone that call him "Nard Dogg" is going to get negged by me. It's horrible.
August 23rd, 2009 at 2:57 PM ^
I assume by "horrible" you mean "totally awesome."
August 23rd, 2009 at 2:58 PM ^
co-sign.
August 23rd, 2009 at 3:04 PM ^
NEGGED

Nard Dog(g) is not cool. It's not even cool for Andy Bernard's character, because that character is not cool. It's right in the Office wheelhouse to have a character (1) give himself a nickname, that (2) vaguely references being enthusiastic about men's nuts. NTTAWTT.
I don't see what's wrong with Shoelace. For one thing, it is actually his fucking nickname. For another, it has a certain pre-Depression era baseball je ne sais quoi to it.
The nickname is Shoelace. Or Jerk Store.
August 23rd, 2009 at 3:13 PM ^
Did you mean the acronym NTTAWWT?
And what's the difference, you're their all time best seller.
August 23rd, 2009 at 3:22 PM ^
Something about the way you tied together "Fucking nickname" and "je ne sais quoi" just makes sense.
I'm climbing aboard the negging of all "Nard Dogg" reference bandwagon.
While we're on the subject...apparently Boubacar is not fond of the nickname "Boo Boo" so those will be getting negbombed as well. If the "insiders" at certain websites that shall not be named are to be trusted, that is.
August 23rd, 2009 at 3:24 PM ^
I've heard about Boo Boo.cant say I blame him. I've never been big on nick names anyways

I dont like nicknames thats why I posted it that way. jeez
August 23rd, 2009 at 5:06 PM ^
nut boubacar is such a hassle to say
August 23rd, 2009 at 6:05 PM ^
Country Fresh Nut Boubacar, now easier to spread
August 23rd, 2009 at 3:31 PM ^
Couldn't agree more about not calling him "Nard Dogg". I haven't heard too many worse nicknames.
August 23rd, 2009 at 4:34 PM ^
Agreed; Nard Dogg is a terrible nickname. Let's just stick to D-Rob or Shoelace. Not sure where some fans come up with these nicknames. T-Force is a pretty bad one too; not surprised that Cissoko doesn't like the Boo Boo nickname.
August 23rd, 2009 at 5:52 PM ^
I've been reading this blog for a year now. Sadly, Cissoko's nickname is what prompted me to finally make an account and post. Please hear out my train of thought:
Boubacar > Boobies > Titties.
Simple, elegant (not so much..) and rolls off the tongue. Yes, it may be inappropriate, but man, it's fun to say. Scream it next time he prepares to return a kick as the ball reaches its apex. I'm sure Titties himself would also welcome this change (hopefully not with open arms, but closed arms grasping a football).
I'm glad my mgoblog membership has now started on such a high note.

and their all out of you! The "Nard Dogg" isnt his nickname,its a JOKE.chill no one is calling him that everyone knows he is called shoelace.
August 23rd, 2009 at 3:25 PM ^
"no one is calling him that"
Umm, you just did.
August 23rd, 2009 at 3:33 PM ^
have you heard anyone else do it?? its not like there is "Nard Dogg 4 Heisman" signs out there! Damn it,now I have to go make a sign
August 23rd, 2009 at 3:34 PM ^
I think we are having a clash of Office watchers and non-Office watchers(or maybe non-appreciaters)
Of course Nard Dogg is not a cool nickname, it isn't supposed to be, it was made up by an uncool person who wants to be cool which is why it is funny.
August 23rd, 2009 at 3:36 PM ^
we have a winner!
August 23rd, 2009 at 3:37 PM ^
this ^^
August 23rd, 2009 at 3:53 PM ^
No one is saying Nard Dogg isn't funny on the Office. I'm pretty sure I get that it isn't supposed to be cool for him. The Office character.
But I don't get the joke when it's applied to D-Rob. "Let's call him an uncool nickname because it's funny because it's funny on this one show and so it's funny if applied out of context to this other dude." Wha...?
In other words, now I'm not objecting to the use of the nickname, I'm objecting to the claim that it's somehow funny to use it with D-Rob. It's like when Tim the Dentist converted to Judaism and started making all these schlocky Borscht-belt jokes. Jerry was offended not as a Jew, but as a comedian.
August 23rd, 2009 at 6:00 PM ^
I'm a anti dentite

The actions performed create the nickname, and if it fits, great.
Shoelace is perfect for the time being, after Sept. 5 when he displays wheels faster than the RoadRunner or Wiley Coyote on a rocket-powered sled on rails, then it should probably change.
Boo-boo is simply bad. I think he should Cisko would be better until his play elicits something better.
August 23rd, 2009 at 5:09 PM ^
So your saying that we may soon be calling Denard "wiley coyote on a rocket-powered sled on rails"?
it may just be me but thats a mouthful

Has a Nick name.
August 23rd, 2009 at 6:43 PM ^
is figuring out how annoying it will be to hear Brent Mussburger use it 100 times per game. In this case, I think shoelace wins over The NardDog.
August 23rd, 2009 at 8:19 PM ^
Gary De-Nard-o and his prediction that Shoelace would eventually be the starting QB.
Maybe you could transfer Nard-Dogg nickname to him.
