Packers aren't as bad as most teams and no team is full of choir boys.

This is all a reaction to McCarty’s “garbage” statement. If you criticize a “media slut” [the word “journalist” is on the verge of being removed from the dictionary]; you will be attacked. They often act like a little verbal mafia.

I think McGuinn’s statement is an admission of guilt that Cohen’s article was purposefully designed to misinform. If you did a 100% honest and balanced report; why would you ever consider Davis coming in your proximity was some sort of intimidation? Clearly, Cohen pissing down his leg and McGuin’s sur-attack was a reaction to their consciousness that they did something worthy of getting their a$$ beat. Ya know like when they unfairly criticized the high school football team in the school rag and received golden swirlies for their dishonesty.


The “Holier than thou” comment shows McGuin is not acting with balanced scholarship; but resorting to ad hominem attack. Moreover, it’s a complete misunderstanding of what the Packers have accomplished. It’s not about putting together a group of choir boys; it’s about successfully evaluating character as well as football talent and having a program in place to teach these kids how to become men and treat their game as a professional.

It’s a violent game and choir boys need not apply [unless a kicker]. Give a 20-22 YO kid, who’s has been fawned over since he was 16, hundreds of thousands to millions of $$ and they are going to make bad choices. Exasperating the potential for the quantity and quality of mistake is that many kids did not have solid upbringings; face a lot of temptations; and have a dearth of quality character peers. So you don’t judge a programs by the shear # of arrests; because people only get arrested for every 1000 criminal things they do; a few arrests or non arrests can skew the #s.

These kids will screw up; probably 80-90% to differing degrees. The GB program provides support, mentoring, training and follow-up; before, during and after these kids screw-up; thus keeping these kids on a path to manhood. Maybe the most important thing is that they keep these kids from undermining the program [so some are cut loose] ...this is what separates GB from other franchises.

McGuin's article is garbage too 😂

Of course McGinn needs to get his shots in. Dredging up Jolly and Lyerla in addition to Guion as "proof" that the Packers are actively seeking out criminals to put on the field. [horseow]

It's like I said before, this stuff maybe had some relevance about 4 months ago but bringing it up now out of nowhere when it has nothing to do with anything currently happening with the team just looks desperate and unprofessional.

Bye week and Mcguin and company had their feelings hurt because McCarthy called the former article what it was.

No new news in this article, just a writer trying to up his numbers with negative remarks.

There were rumors that McGinn became pretty good friends with Mike Sherman when he was here, with McGinn seemingly having some inside scoop on things at times during the Sherman's era.

Then Sherman lost the GM role to Thompson, and Sherman held a grudge as some reports have suggested Sherman attempted to not work/talk with Thompson... and between that and Thompson being anti-media and doing the least amount possible with the media as he can do and still follow NFL rules, McGinn has seemed to pick up and keep that grudge that Sherman had, writing negatively about Thompson every chance he gets.


Also it probably didn't help that Thompson has also had some struggles with others that were reportedly liked by the media and might of been giving a scoop every now and then like Brett Favre and Andrew Brandt.

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.
