Well almost every naysayer wanted MM and Ted Thompson to answer those questions at some point, Wilde may have gotten a "your not coming back" pass for these questions, but I agree they handled them pretty well.

I found the Ryan comment from Ted semi funny.. "Not knocking Ryan, but Frost is better" type response.. yep not knocking him. :lol:

I hear you. This guy is no Greta.

The first question was kind of dumb, but after that I thought all the questions were fair. Excellent interview with both guys.

Thats EXACTLY what i meant!
If Greta would have done THIS interview, she would have asked Ted Thompson and MM "Boxers, or briefs?" :compress:

i liked MM's response to the "what's Ted Thompson like as a boss & friend". gave me alot of insight into the man.

WSJ: Do you guys know what you're doing?

MIKE McCARTHY: What kind of question is that?

Sometimes these people just make me sick. I can't wait for MM to snap one day and choke a bitch. [\quote]

Maybe he can start with you.

Or maybe himself....

From my chair, that's all that's ever mattered. I wasn't the pretty girl when I was hired, so that was an experience we were able to overcome.

Can anyone photoshop McCarthy as the "prettiest girl".

That would be funny. Or maybe just find a current picture of his daughter!

Jason Wilde is a madman. Great interview.

I love the fact that he's asking questions like the average fan would. He's obviously not afraid of making enemies.

I thought it was significant that McCarthy finally backed off from saying that he's going to emphasize the run. It's about time. These days, the NFL is mostly a passing league. Check out this article by Michael Lombardi. Scan down to his second point:

The thing is, they should have figured this out in the 80s. The Niners won 5 SBs, 4 in the 80s and 1 in the 90s, by passing. The lone exception for a dominant team that mostly ran were the Cows, but their passing game was pretty dang good too when it needed to be.

You need a QB that completes passes and doesn't turn the ball over.

packerfanoutwest (9h) : don't care

Zero2Cool (14h) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (23h) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
