M3 skipped meetings for massages? Is there something wrong with that?

I imaging he would have to have at least 2-3 masseuses to handle all his flesh - this probably presents a scheduling issue that's not easy to back out of.

As someone who was recently shit-canned, I can tell you the urge to deflect is very strong. But it is totally unhelpful. Finding someone you trust who will tell you the stark, raw truth about yourself, your strengths and failings, is key. Somehow I suspect Stubby doesn't have that person in his life.

I think that is true of both McCarthy and Rodgers. The list that could help each is pretty short if you go by similar level of success and experience. Need to start with honesty about yourself.

I sorta thing arod tanked last two years to get m3 fired. If that’s true - in order to get 2-3 more rings in next 6 years - then arod is smartest and best qb ever. If he fails in next 2 years - he’s going down as a talent than was a prick.

I got downsized (last department to take the hit, we thought we escaped ) and it took a long while to regain my balance. It was a 10 year stay and you don't get over it very fast, no matter your outlook.

I would definitely believe that of last year. It was like a greatest hits replay of bad play.

The closest to that is his wife:

I go back to really the first thing my wife said to me, the first moment Jessica and I were alone and talking about what happened. She said, 'Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm relieved for you.' I kinda gave her a look. And she said, 'The last two or three years, you haven't been here physically or mentally. Every family loses their husband, father during the season, but you've been gone the last two offseasons. I know you're not happy with the way things were going there, and it's beat the hell out of you. It's beat the hell out of you the last couple of years. It's been hard to watch it.' That was a couple hours after I got home, and that was the reality, that was the reality that I had to identify with, and that was real.

Nonsense. A QB trying to tank the season doesn't start all 16 games on a bad knee. He doesn't get sacked 50 times, in addition to many other hits when he could have just thrown the ball away before getting hit. He doesn't throw just 2 INT's.

I do think he lost faith in McCarthy's offense, and let his frustration get the best of him. But I saw nothing that would suggest he wasn't trying to win every game.

That article was so interesting. Im not shocked to hear MM became bigger than his britches. I’m not shocked to hear AR was so finicky about his stats and sort of addicted to them. He wanted no interceptions last year. He wanted the record. More than he wanted to win. He does have the record now.

That is a juicy article. I’m excited for the change. And boy oh boy, I forgive Favre more and more for his totally normal and forgivesvle acts of human selfishness because AR and MM have it to. In fact, Favre doing what he did might have helped those two brats stay grounded long enough to get a SB of their own.

Makes Bellichik and Brady’s accomplishment so much more impressive to hear this stuff.

I still love Favre and Rodgers and MM. Thayre just people like us. And honestly the frail human qualities make it that much more interresting and deep for me.

Rodgers missed so many throws... and didn’t do much visibly to pull the team up. How many bombs on 3rd and 1 and runs in 2nd and 1??

He changed 30% of plays at the line and forced issues with rookie receivers and their coaches. And wouldn’t throw to them when open (think of Janis in the past). He held the ball forever - wonder why he had so many sacks? Sure he didn’t throw INTs - but his throwaway % was pretty pathetic.

He may have railroaded that season. And it may have been what was needed.

M3 skipped meetings for massages? Is there something wrong with that?

Obviously MM didn't realize it was.

The truth will reveal that it was very bad and may put a wrap on any aspirations
He Mike McCarthy may have of getting another Head Coaching Gig in the NFL.


This news is serious shit for Mike McCarthy and frankly about as unbelievable as anything I would imagine as the truth and hearing it for the first time. I mean there is no way on earth as Packer fans and seeing what we could see of MM that this could seem possible.

It's definitely one of those wait, it's not April 1 and get the 'F' out of here with that bullshit tale please.

Go to the hers or Colin Coherd interviewing Greg Jennings and try to imagine Greg Jennings is spreading bad lies or shit storming. Jennings is like most of us should truthfully admit to being or blown away by the extent of this ego trip thing between Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers and, at the expense of the Teams best interests and Packer Nations trust.

Nice spin.

My position right now and it may change, but the selfishness and arrogance, the ego trips MM AND AARON RODGERS were actually embroiled in and the f'ing pissing contest between them; threw the Packer Team (the rest of the team roster) and coaches and frankly Packer Nation under the bus.

This is one of the most shocking stories I've read and now understand as basically supported as 'theTruth', in over six decades as a die hard Pro Sports fan.

This makes the story of a former Packer QB and pics of his little dick in his hand look like a fortune cookie prediction.

If Jennings were a goat he’d be used for the burnt offering in the temple.
