Zero Said "It's far more feasible for me to believe that the supervisor was told by Mike McCarthy and the supervisor took it on his own to fire the guy in fear of him not doing anything, he'd be fired."

I don't know why. The guy had nothing to fear. Mike McCarthy does NOTHING. So the supervisor's job would have been safe.

Mike McCarthy: Rockmolder needs to work on his pad level.

mm: "But thats on me......I'll get it fixed."

...And who knows what got lost in translation along the way. Maybe by the time it got back to this guy's boss it was all mumble-jumbled as to what was said.

A story:

GETTING THE WORD

Once upon a time a Colonel issued the following directive to his Executive Officer (XO):

"Tomorrow evening at approximately 2000 hours, Halley's Comet will be visible in this area; an event which occurs only once every 75 years. Have the men fall out in utilities (fatigues) and I will explain this rare phenomenon to them. In the event of rain, we will not be able to see anything, so assemble the men in the theater and I will show them films of it."

XO to Company Commanders:

"By order of the Colonel, tomorrow at 2000 Halley's Comet will appear above the Battalion area. If it rains, fall the men out in utilities, then march to the theater where the rare phenomenon will take place, something which only occurs once every 75 years."

Company Commander to Lieutenant:

"By order of the Colonel, be in utilities at 2000 tomorrow evening, the phenomenal Halley's Comet will appear in the theater. In case of rain, in the Battalion area, the Colonel will give another order, something that will occur every 75 years."

Lieutenant to Sergeant:

"Tomorrow at 2000, the Colonel will appear with Halley's Comets, something which occurs every 75 years. If it rains, the Colonel will order the Comets into the Battalion area and the performance will go there."

Sergeant to the troops:

"When it rains tomorrow at 2000, the phenomenal 75-year old General Halley, accompanied by the Colonel, will drive his comet through the Battalion area theater going 75 miles an hour dressed in utilities."

This is my combination Marine Corps birthday, Veteran's Day and miscommunication story for this thread. :thumbleft:

Boy, if it starts going wrong for McCarthy on Sunday, the crowd is going to be ruthless.

He had nothing to fear? How do you know this?
If Mike McCarthy does nothing, how is he being blamed for the firing then?


My point is. I think its stupid to blast someone for something we don't know for sure happened. I think its ignorant to do such a thing. It's something that bothers me about how this country operates. Guilty until PROVEN innocent.

I'm even hearing fans blaming Ted Thompson for this firing of Wood.

From what the Packers statement said it was the supervisor who made the decision on what he believed happened. I don't know what good it would do to Mike McCarthy to have someone fired on the maintenance staff.

Either way, regardless of what was said. I think the man should be brought back. We're told over and over as kids, that sticks an stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Man up, deal with it.

It doesn't matter who this is on, the fact is, it makes the PACKERS look petty and thats why I want it reversed. I don't give a shit about the supervisor or mm's image. I care about the Packers image.

So for the Packers sake, reinstate the man, give him season tickets for three years for the mistake.

Well, Mike McCarthy saying "I didn't fire anyone in the maintenance department" doesn't mean he didn't cry to the guy's boss about it, causing him to get fired.
If he did cause it, my respect just dropped even more.
It's not like the guy said "Hey MM....you SUCK!"

"I will get that done".....LOLOL!!! I hope that for a change he actually DOES get it done.

---

Zero,.......i was making a JOKE!!!
As in "MM doesn't DO anything!"
Get it now?

---

I want him to do something.
Leave.
And take the damn ZBS with him.

---

I just talked to him Zero....he said......"Thats on me....I'll get it done. Tell Zero not to worry. I'm leaving........in 3 or 4 years......."
