    But of course you know that because you have been a Packers fan for 6 decades, yada yada yada.......
    Are you always going to act like a 16 Year old?

    Of course, I knew that. The Franchise Tag may be applied to any NFL Player for a Max. 3 Seasons by any NFL Team he was previously signed to.

    We're all seen many hires here in Green Bay......Bart Starr/Lindy Infante/Forrest Gregg/Ray Rhodes/Mike Sherman/Mike Holmgran (who was great).......did I miss any........where does Mccarthy fit in there ?

    At worst he's the 2nd best of that group; be careful what you wish for.

    Now we're supposedly bringing in a GM who doesn't get along with Mccarthy.

    If you read between the lines it's very clear MM wanted a greater sense of urgency in using our funds to elevate our team on an annual basis and was at odds with TT...........and CAPPIE RUSS....they were in the same camp...IMO........all of this is disheartening....if you believe what is about to happen.

    I'm still not accepting any of it.....but if you believe the pressers Green Bay is doing a HALF ASS JOB conducting a B.S. GM Search when all along CAPPIE RUSS was the guy.


    I hope all of my assertions become wrong; perhaps we'll see Monday.

    Mike McCarthy leaving the Green Bay Packers before the 2018 Season isn't likely to happen.

    He's an Irish American and thus prone to getting a tad hot under the collar.

    Sometimes he gets the 'fits':

    New coaches must fit McCarthy's vision for 2018 Packers

    My apologies, should have clipped less

    I have no idea why that song popped into my head, though now I know it was the The Guess Who. Would have struggled with that question before the search.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Plus the 2 years remaining on his contract equals......

    Unless he goes full Farve Andy retires 12 years in a row so he can skip camp. Does Rodgers have his own locker room yet?

    That was REALLY CRAZY !!

    There is a lot of shit going down in NE and it's ugly
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
