FishDuck Article Administrator No. 1 Share Posted July 4, 2022 The history of these two sites, (and the founder) is unusual and not seen anywhere in the Oregon Media... Mr. FishDuck: Crazed Duck Fan, or Generous Ambassador of Oregon...

Haywarduck Moderator No. 5 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Charles is a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately, but is a testament to who Charles is, that air is rarefied air in this day and age. Charles is a throwback to a better time, a time where integrity and decency mattered more. We may call him FishDuck, but really he is just all that is a good about being a Duck. Great article, and Happy Birthday Charles! 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUCKED No. 7 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Although I’m a relative newbie, having joined in Oct 2021, and sporadic poster, I nevertheless check in with the forum pretty much every morning. If you are a Duck fan it’s the best place to get up to date information and analysis from so many talented thinkers and writers. And what impresses most is the way Charles has established a monitoring system that assures the site remains civil, which in and of itself is an amazing accomplishment. Charles plays no favorites…..even to those he has friendships with. If you break the rules you will hear about it…….continue and you will be suspended or banned. FishDuck is the only site I’m on, but I know what occurs on other sites and I want no part of it. Thanks Charles. I know this is a labor of love for you, but I also realize you put in tons of work. It is much appreciated. 1 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EzDucksIt No. 18 Share Posted July 4, 2022 You have invested a lot of $$$$$ and time Charles. You have assembled a great many writers and your time to explain things Just Ducky while maintaining a sense of civility to treat everyone like adults. To have adult discussions about the U of O. What a great day to celebrate a Birthday too. Happy Birthday and may you have many more, just like the United States. You should be proud of what you have built, I enjoy it immensely. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drex Heikes No. 19 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Nice piece, Jordan. Yes, Charles Fischer is an Oregon treasure. He’s enriched us for years. I remember his start as he broke down the dazzling Chip Kelly offenses. He lifted the curtain, demystified the sizzling play. It was a revelation. I’m out of my lane here, but: if any of you reading the site haven’t given money, please do so. It’s a labor of love AND it costs money. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duckdude No. 28 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Thanks, Mr Fishduck, for all your contributions, and for being a fellow crazed Duck Fan. Too bad you(or me) don’t have Phil Knight-type bucks to help out theDucks in equal measure like that crazed Duck fan has done! Keep up the good work!
