A Former, Disgraced NFL Backup To John Elway And Brett Favre Plays In My Crappy Flag Football League

We asked the ref if the guy played in college. The ref told us, “He played for the Green Bay Packers.” Holy shit. That explained it. This guy was by far the best player in a league in which he was 20 years senior to most of the participants.

After the game, we walked over to his sideline to congratulate him with an ice cold one. “We heard you played for the Packers,” a work buddy of mine said. “Yeah…unfortunately” was the old man’s answer. We just laughed it off. Maybe he hated Wisconsin. We wouldn’t blame him for that. We asked him for his name, and he grudgingly answered: T.J. Rubley. I had never heard of him, but judging by his age, I knew he probably played with Brett Favre.

Ty totally pulled a Rubley against the Rams. Still remember that play like it was yesterday. Worst part about Rubley's blunder was Frank Winters turned around as he started to audible and said "Don't do it!" Shoulda listened to Old Bag of Donuts.

T.J. Rubley was Ty Montgomery before Ty Montgomery was Ty Montgomery.

He was told to just keep the ball secure and run out the clock, instead he decided to throw a pass which was intercepted giving the Vikings the win.
I don't think Holmgren even let him get on the plane to return to Green Bay.

It was a bitter loss that left Green Bay at a 5-4 record and it seemed like the 1995 Packers couldn't take a step forward after failing to do so the year before when they went 9-7 for the third year in row under Holmgren. Holmgren and GM Wolf were so pissed that even with Favre and #2 QB Detmer both leaving the game with injuries and a division game against the Bears coming up they released Rubley (though it's easy to see now in retrospect that Favre was gonna play).

Thanks Mucky for the clarification, my memory isn't what it used to be.
I do remember that it was a crushing defeat and that Rubley was at the root of it.

Maybe Montgomery can take solace in the fact that he wasn't the only one to royally fuck up on Sunday.

All in all, this week of NFL football was a comedy of errors.

Zero2Cool (14m) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (3h) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (6h) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (9h) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (10h) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : Thanks Mucky and whomever created topcos for each pick!

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : Insane about Kingsley

dfosterf (28-Apr) : Putring it here so Mucky sees it. He was our guy!

dfosterf (28-Apr) : Bowden long snapper Wisconsin. Consensus best LS in college.

dfosterf (28-Apr) : We got Peter Bowde

dfosterf (28-Apr) : I personally interpret that as a partial tear that can be recovered from with rehab

dfosterf (28-Apr) : MLF said Kingsley Enagbare did NOT tear his ACL and did NOT require surgery, and that he is "looking good" for the 2024 season!

beast (27-Apr) : OL – Donovan Jennings, USF OT – Trente Jones, Michigan

TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : Interesting draft. A bit shocked that we didn't select an early CB. Definitely have Safety help. Pretty happy overall.

dhazer (27-Apr) : wow the last 2 picks are really stupid and probably will be special teams players Top 10 draft pick next year book it

TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : I think he ended up with a terrible RAS score

dhazer (27-Apr) : Anyone know what went on with Kitchens from Florida? At 1 point he was to be the Packers 1st round and he is way down the board now

Martha Careful (27-Apr) : Z, could you please combine my thread with yours please. I obviously did not see it when I Created it
