On my way home from work I heard Chris Havel and Harry Sydney taking Bob McGinn to task for his throwing the Packers organization from Ted, Mike, the Board and even the fans for the signing of Colt Lyerla to the 90 man roster.
It got me wondering, what did Colt actually do?
These are the two tweets I found that garnered the heat about Sandy Hook
@anhyzerroc I got you. The parents of the kids that supposedly died in the sandy hook situation are liars
The Tweet wrote:
And then apologized two weeks later.
Overall, I feel that I made a mistake in getting involved in such a personal matter on such a public platform. And I'm apologetic to my teammates and my coaches and the program overall for doing that. But on the same note, I would never want to discourage anyone from having their own opinion or raising questions like that.
But for me it was a bad idea because of the position I'm in, so like I said I'm apologetic and I'm looking forward to learning from this and moving on with the season.
It's something I should've been prepared for but wasn't, obviously, But I feel like sometimes those things have to happen if you're going to learn from it, so I'm just trying to look at the silver lining of the situation and I feel like I learned my lesson from that.

Regardless of what he believes, I feel it was inconsiderate and insensitive. Then I also think that every single person has stated something they regret and wish they could take back. I certainly have.

What I've found is he publicly said some insensitive inconsiderate things and experimented with drugs, a nasty drug at that. I'm sure none of you experimented with drugs as a youth, so you are free to run him over for this.
With how Bobby has reacted to the signing I would have thought he committed murder and was an alcoholic wife beating dead beat father. Perhaps Bob McGinn is an evil genius at work in he's taking such a hard line to the signing hoping to place a mountain sized chip on Colt's shoulder to prove Bobby wrong?
