I think after all this time people should know MM wont let it be known what was said behind closed doors..

but I guess people still think he should explain bit by bit what he told the team

What do you guys expect McCarthy to say?

Remember that 31 other teams can view his comments the same way we can. Even if things change he's not going to let on.

But that would just make too much sense.

I think we all know that. That is not the same as all of us not bitchin' about it.

Personally, I satiate myself by making fun of him. It is mostly for my own personal consumption when I do it, although I kinda like the way that HC from the Jets is rolling...he makes me laugh, plus I like a little smack/outspoken/guard down a taste from my "hero".

MM sucks at PR. That is different than sucking as a HC. When shit hits the fan, those PR skills can be handy in what is ultimately an entertainment business, even though I am personally not viewing it as such...wound way too tight about it to call it that. :thumbleft:

"Matt Giordano had two interceptions in practice."

This is no big deal if it is against the practice squad...i can't imagine him playing with the first team today. Hell i could pick off a pass from Brain Brohm.

Now...wait a second. That wouldn't be as easy as you think. After all, Brohm's passes arn't normally anywhere NEAR a human being, so it would be tough to pick him off. LOLOL!!!

I think that's right. The whole "fiasco" made them all "worse", too. I was listening to Cowherd (I know everyone hates him but me, but whaddya gonna do in your car, listen to music or somethin'?) - Cowherd was talking about college football coaches and the media.

He was making the point that many college football coaches "own" their town, in the sense that they control the local media, that relies upon them. An adjunct to that is that they don't give much of a damn about what they disseminate to the local media, as their organization doesn't rely upon it. The only time they start being deferential or informative,,or the opposite...very guarded...is when the national media starts showing up.

He went on to say that the NFL coaches in the big markets are far more likely to be at least a little more deferential to the media, because the organizations that they represent want and need them to be. I think he mentioned Green Bay as one of the exceptions to this rule, and I think he further went on to say how "they are not used" to the kind of media (national) that descended upon them due to that "fiasco".

Remember, this is the organization that went and got a politico for PR purposes. They are way used to having (relatively speaking) softballs thrown their way. That quasi-cozy relationship is being dismantled by the competition for information, the switch to a web-based source of information--all kinds of reasons. In the net big scheme of things, it is probably a good thing, but our organization seems resistant to the change, as they came to many of these realizations as a result of the whole retire/unretire/retire thingy.

Why a good thing? Just look at what is happening with the local media. GBPG has become one hell of a lot more tech-savvy--- everybody there is now blogging, we get to learn what is going on practice, etc. JsOnline is running neck and neck with them at those practices, blogs in practical real time from all of them...We get all kinds of information that used to take--God forbid-- almost a DAY to get (can you imagine :thumbleft: ) due to some of this shift in the way we get our news.

Thing is, we don't get enough of it--relatively speaking--from where we want it...The Packers themselves. They have to rely on a passionate fanbase, moreso than any other franchise, which means their version has to be carefully orchestrated whenever possible. This is way too long, and really only begins to crack/broach some of my opinions...sorry.

One thing about McCarthy, that drives me nuts, is that he never shows the fire I want to see from the HC. Has he ever gotten in the face of a player that messed up? We know there have been many chances. I can't recall a time. His press conferences are all watered down, politically correct nonsense. Once i would like him to show a little emotion. Seeing him come out with a "Playoffs, did you say playoffs" or "They are who we thought they were" type remark that actually shows he might give a shit.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

just watching recaps of the game.... MAN, if we can play that badly, and still only come up 10 yards shy of tying the game, I gotta think we can correct this stuff. I mean, when have you seen us play that poorly in recent memory? And we still came up only 10 yards shy of a tie. Theycan fix this stuff.

Finley last year, behind closed doors they werent having tea


It is not his style to berate a player in the media....

Why don't people understand that?

Question....Last few SB participants coaches how many of them have you seen attack their players in the media?

I do not know of any times it has happened..
