MIKE MCCARTHY ISN’T FOND OF RUSS BALL

[Bretsky]

By Thompson apparently. I'm assuming his comments were aimed at someone else. Murphy? Ball?

That is how I read it as well

[pbmax]

just tellin ya what he said.

Right, and I think his success in GB means he must be talking about Cleveland and Dorsey, not GB and Murphy.

He also got a promotion and likely a pay raise in the move. He was telling people that this development was great.

Ball has no authority over Highsmith.

Murphy doesn't interact with him regularly. The only topic here would be Alonzo getting an interview with Murphy about being Packers GM.

Maybe three internal candidates were enough.

I think that was the topic. I think Highsmith felt he deserved a chance for an interview, but wasn't getting it because someone at the top doesn't trust him. I think he was referring to Murphy, although we don't know exactly how much Ball's role has expanded in recent years beyond managing the cap.

Actually, we have an idea.

Cohen: The media guide says his daily supervision includes the following departments: athletic training, equipment, video, corporate travel, player development, family programs and public relations

Plus the fact that none of the personnel lieutenants seem to lack titles Ball has.

He did sound a bit bitter...

I also viewed Highsmith's comment as a shot against the Packer organization on the way out of town.

[Pugger]

I hope Ball stays as the numbers guy with Gut.

yup. that statement was pretty telling.

[gbgary]

I hope Ball stays as the numbers guy with Gut.

NOT if his hardball tactics continue with Gutenheimerschmidt!!

How does he feel about Applebee’s?

[esoxx]

He prefers Chili's.

My theory was that he was talking about the exciting new opportunity in front of him, not a comment on the people he was disappointed by (GB and Murphy in that case).

I have moved more to the camp that thinks it meant he wasn't going to get an interview for GM from Murph.

[pbmax]

He prefers Chili's.

I would go to the Chili's in the ads with women in shorts and tied off shirts. But when I have gone to Chili's its businessmen drowning sorrows in the bar and families eating with virtually no midriffs visible anywhere.

And I admit, the city dwelling hipster in me is always disappointed to leave and see the mall just next door.

Just a play on words/names. New WR coach Jim Hostler's name reminds of ol' hoss Jeff Hostetler from the NYG. Possibly the worst starting QB to win a SB BTW.

Yes esoxx and I immediately hit Google hahaha:

I know your bright.

Also: I'm not like some on this board, that actually jump all onto any little typo, misspelling or other rather mundane error in a post. I like to think as a decent person with self respect, fairness and good manners.

Spelling and Typo Nazi's demonstrate 'Monkey Intelligence' where I come from. You'd be hog tied and tossed to sleep all night, outside of the Camp; while the REAL Boys had a whale of a time.

Here being analytical and passing opinion, following observation and digging out Packer elated News, is Earth Shaking to some. Looking at a lot of this and decisions by Packer Management, is supposed to be fun, and not grounds to be commited to Solitary.

Really anyone with 'thin skin' here is in a heap of pain.

This Forum is named Packer...rats and NOT Packer... Saints.
