McCarthy to "Get things off his chest" in meeting

[SudsMcBucky]

if Favre can't give a straight "Hell yes I'm committed, extra film work and practice and the whole shebang" answer, then I think Favre will be flying to Minneapolis in a couple of days.

Maybe that's been Brett's hope all along???? Maybe this will be his way of bringing about what he's always wanted.....

How will flying to Minneapolis bring about him regaining his starter QB position for the Green Bay Packers??

The insuation is that he'd be on a plane to MN as part of a trade. My comment was that maybe this is what he's wanted all along.

Dude, you're cracking me up over here.

I am not sure why M3 is still wasting time with the silly posturing when he knows damn well that everybody in America has heard about last night's clunker by A-Rod. They've already lost the PR war, so why keep fighting it? I like Woody's comments after the scrimmage, having only been with the team for two years he's still about to keep an objective perspective about the whole thing.

Put things about last night into perspective. He was 8-20 with an INT, which isn't very good at all. Not all of his incompletions were on target, of that you can be sure. But at least 4 or 5 of his incompletions were drops by the WR's. I saw him it Ruve in the hands twice, one Ruve dropped and the other Pat Lee made a great play on to knock it out of Ruve's hands. I saw Driver uncharacteristically drop one too. I'm not saying even those passes were perfect, but a rule of football is if you are a WR and the ball hits you in the hands you HAVE to catch it. If the ball hits you in the hands and you don't catch it that is your fault, not teh QB's. So A-Rod could have easily been 12-20 or 13-20, which isn't spectacular but isn't horrible either. Assuming those drops would have happened even if it were #4 throwing the ball, what's the difference??

I think you need to compare A-Rod's performance this year to last years scrimmage. He didn't even match his own production last year. I am not comparing him to Favre. The drops could easily be a timing thing. They are accustomed to Brett but not to A-Rod yet. The main thing I am concerned about with A-Rod is durability and handling the pressure to perform. Last night was an aberration I hope, but if it was supposed to be his big debut it left much to be desired.

The media hyped it up as A-Rods big debut. It wasn't, as least not in my book. His big debut is supposed to come against the Minnesota Vikings on Monday, September 8th. Whether or not that is the case remains to be seen.

Just saw on ESPN that MM is supposed to meet with the media at 9:15 (Eastern) tonight. Hope it's televised. I'm very anxious to see what he says.

That's kind of late to have a press conference isn't it?

Yea, I know, that's why I thought I'd use the subtle sarcasm smiley instead of this obvious one.
