Deion Sanders called the Herchel Walker trade a "Shibacle". I need to know what the Huddle masses think the definition of this word should be. After getting enough suggestions, I'll create a poll and let everyone vote on it, so if this word is ever used again in the English language, we will all be in agreement as to what the word means.

In a Thursday night appearance on NFL Network, Deion Sanders compares the trade of Donovan McNabb from the Eagles to the Redskins to the "Herschel Walker shibacle."

Sanders eventually calls the move the "dumbest trade ever."

Sorry, I can't be of any help here. I speak English, French, & some coon-ass. Ebonics is way beyond my comprehension.

Before we get inundated with more bad jokes and mildly racist "a black man said something I don't understand, must be that ebonics stuff Ma told me about" comments, I'll point out that shibacle is a term used in the gaming community for some time now. It is a portmanteau of "sh*t" and "debacle" meaning an extremely messed up and confused situation.

A quick Google search nets me a few results such as this from a gamer board:

Idk much about the company making this (It's not Yukes so Hallelujah) but THQ. Now here is hoping they don't pull that Spore shibacle much less make it so we can't mod the game much less tweak it as we please.

Here on page two of YouTube comments:

look i have clared this shibacle up, i like americans, just not america.

Americans = honest people.

America = Over-run government who's meaning of peace is war on a small insergent country who can't protect themselves.

And here on a message board of gentlemen involved in possibly illicit gambling:

I dont think that Jimmymacconcrack dude got paid yet. The whole shibacle may be a clandescant faerie tale.

All three of these examples are clearly time stamped well before yesterday, the oldest being from July of last year. Sanders can claim to have coined the phrase, as most people had not heard the term before yesterday, but he did not pull it out of thin air.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
