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.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By mav1234 · Posted

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
