Can't imagine ...

Before the Packers' Sunday night game, the coach said he'll visit his old Pittsburgh haunts, thinking of fun times he had with his late brother, Joe.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Mike McCarthy can guide a tour of his old Pittsburgh neighborhood without ever leaving his chair at Lambeau Field. He starts downtown at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Wood Street, where the Port Authority of Allegheny County bus route 61C begins.

The first stop is just off Greenfield Avenue on Alcorn Street, where the family business -- Joe McCarthy’s Bar and Grill -- once stood in a part of town known as Lower Greenfield.

Back along Greenfield Avenue, there’s McCarthy’s primary school, St. Rosalia. A few blocks down on the left is Magee Field, where, as kids, Mike and his younger brother, Joe, played just about every sport.

Finally, on the last block of Greenfield Avenue sits the modest home of McCarthy's parents, dad Joe and mom Ellen McCarthy, where they raised Mike, the younger Joe and three their daughters, Colleen, Ellen and Kellie.

Three years ago, this would have been the last stop.

Sad when his brother passed. The article reminded me that this happened during one of the Packer's biggest fails ever to the Seahawks.

He may have been on the hot seat at the time but the personal circumstances probably made it hard for the front office to do anything besides having Mike McCarthy take away play-calling duties. It is understandable. It would have been pretty cold for management to fire him at the time.

Thanks for sharing that article.
I'm sure it's still pretty fresh in Mikes mind and certainly will be fairly painful for him, but it sounds like the McCarthy family is strong and provide a lot of support for each other.
It would be nice if Mike could leave his hometown tonight with a W in his pocket.
