Some funny stuff in this article.

McCarthy's Packers epitomize the opposite of loud and obnoxious. When I asked McCarthy if he enjoyed being out of the free agency news cycle, he joked, "Ever been to Green Bay?" (I have many times. It's lovely this time of year.) Translation: this is how we roll, dude...

If there has ever been an anti-circus it's the Packers, and if there has ever been an anti-ringleader, it's McCarthy. He looks the part. McCarthy resembles the guy who comes to fix the copy machine, but he's equipped with a big brain and understanding that steady is good. The Packers' general manager, Ted Thompson, is beyond covert. He's cloaked like a Romulan warbird and skilled in the art of drafting like few men we've seen in this league...

Temptation to stray from the Packer way will come if the franchise allows the pressure of that loss to overwhelm their natural instincts of making smart personnel moves. Meanwhile, the Packers are just doing their thing while other franchises get their Tebow on. We'll see which philosophy wins. Hint: it'll be the Packers.

We are far from cloaking this year. We have had a 300% increase in our free agent signings from the last 3 years combined (not including unsigned fa's)!
