Alledged Negative Comment to MM get Lambeau Worker Canned

[sharpe1027]

If he was insulting, I have more respect for him saying it to the Coach directly that the bonehead Eagles worker who put it on his Facebook page.

A suspension seems like it would have been a better idea unless there was precedent.

It probably didn't help that he refused to fess up to it.

You don't know that he did anything. We've only heard his side of the story and he says he did not say what was heard. I think it's jumping to conclusions here.

No.

Management said they determined he said it. It doesn't matter whether he did or did not, they determined he did. Thus, it probably did not help that he didn't admit to it. If he had and perhaps had agreed to apologize, it might have helped his situation.

No conclusion jumping involved.

All those who ripped Sherman for not having thick skin can now bag on MM

Do we even know if MM complained about it? If others heard it, perhaps they were the ones that brought it up to staff.

Truthfully though, I find it much more likely that MM was just in a pissed-off mood, but we really don't have the facts just yet.

McCarthy is looking really bad because of the way his team is playing. This story seems pretty insignificant to me.

Agreed.

But so did Watergate at the beginning.

The story is getting "National Legs" now.

PFT headline... "Firing of Lambeau Field worker could grease skids for McCarthy"

The tom-toms are now beating.

Ironically Mike probably heard the same thing from Ted "you better not lay an egg against Dallas".

They couldn't of kept this in house? Seriously, its rough to be a Packers fan and now we gotta deal with this bullshit? Been very disappointing in my Packers for a long time now, when's it ever gonna get good again? man..

He is saying he didn't say it. Why would he admit to something he didn't do?

It's not like they called a press conference to say they fired the guy. The reporter got the story out of the ex employee.

Green Bay's just becoming a joke, thats all. Its sad.

Why wouldnt they just tell the guy to shut his mouth and do his job. A firing over some guy chirping at you? And were not even sure if MM is right about what he said? Its fucking embarrassing.

Why? I don't know. That doesn't change the fact that if he had it might have helped him.

Let me try this another way. I was commenting on their decision to fire him. They confronted him and gave him a chance to explain. He completely denied it. They obviously didn't believe him and fired him. The fact that they asked him about it first suggests that there was a reason they asked him, maybe it was to give him a chance to apologize. As I said, denying it probably didn't help his case.

Are you trying to pin me down and show me the errors of my ways?

big tough mike mcCarthy

he can't stand up to his players when they do something stupid, but man, he sure can run to upper management and get a guy that doesn't directly work for him fired when he feels wronged

its like the kid on the playground who gets beat up by a bully, and turns around and beats up the nerd to make himself feel better

even if the guy did say don't lay an egg. good for him. most fans these days would have told him to pull his fucking head out of his giant fat ass, and grow a set of balls while he's doing it

this guy is becoming more of a joke by the hour these days

I find it sad that a couple posters here are jumping on others, saying we haven't heard both sides, so we're jumping to conclusions - and then are jumping to conclusions, not having heard both sides. The only difference is that they're jumping to a different conclusion. Do people even pay attention to what they are saying, or is logic just completely out the door any more?

[Bossman641]

This seems like a pretty big deal over nothing, especially since we don't know any of the story

[Fritz]

I can't wait for recess to see if they duke it out on the playground.

This seems to be a PR thing, for sure. The main "fact" out there from this epidode is the paper taking that one side and using it to make MM look like a total dick.

That's a guy with little support who is a rather fat sitting duck. MM is a target right now, and it doesn't bode well for his job security.

He needs some wins to rehab his image in a big way.

Pittsburgh Mike is in a real "devine" situation, it seems.

I don't know what this sentence means Fritzy but I do notice you haven't sided with me. So I will assume you are a hater until further notice.
