Word is, Mike is firing Ted...

lol on the firing. Here's the link, the video window won't open until around 5 mins prior (according to the site).

Should be very informative.

Most solid news we've had in weeks... 😃

Control yourself during the presser AADP.. try not poking yourself in those 30 minutes or so. :lol:

Sometimes I wonder.. 😉

lol.

Dom freakin Capers.

You just know anyone whose first name is Dom, last name is Capers, is bad-ass. I mean Capers, clearly where the word "Caped Crusader" comes from... to say Dom Capers was the fore-runner of modern day super-heroes isn't too much of an exaggeration.

In all seriousness though, it'll be real interesting to finally have some insight into why MM fired Rock, other coaches like Lionel Wasington, and chose to retain coaches like James Campen. At least we won't have the caveat of "sources say" when McCarthy speaks.

Should be very interesting. I never actually WATCH the press conferences, I usually wait on the transcripts.

go.pack.go., are you homeschooled? you seem to have more free time during the day than most of the teenagers i know, lol.

On a serious note.. it is about freaking time that MM comes out and talks about the release of 8 Packer People, the thoughts behind it and then shift directly into a positive upbeat swing with the hiring of Capers.

The silence of MM made him look a little weak IMO, not that the reasons for Sanders dismissal weren't apparent, but just a little bothersome that he didn't have the gumption to explain the reasons in public.

Oh.. and there better be an answer to why Moss was retained and what his role is going to be going further.. you know for damn sure the any DC coming in had to know those answers before saying yes.

I've never thought his silence made him look weak. As I've said elsewhere on this site, I wouldn't want an administration that was entirely transparent, especially during this sensitive period that is the hiring process. Now that the major hire has been conducted, it makes more sense to ask for rationales, as there's less risk of revealing important information to other teams.

I don't think Mike McCarthy, Ted Thompson, Mike Sherman, or anyone else owes us explanations for everything they do as soon as they do it. Sports is like war -- information has to be held close to the vest.

Also, I'd lose a lot of respect for these guys if they were airing laundry out for the world to see. For all we know, some of these firings were for personal reasons (chemistry, different vision, etc.) than for performance on the field. Let the guy go with your thanks for all his hard work, and give him a chance to put food on the table somewhere else.

why are people assuming he will explain why he let certain people go?
