Kind of a classy move by both parties, I think.

Though I read one stat that said you also don't see Superbowl winning coaches fired midseason often, as this is only the second time it's happened in NFL history. That came as a shock to me if true.

Classy both by the Organization and Mike McCarthy
Just another example of why the Packers are so unique in sports

Walked in to a standing ovation and out to one as well. Doesn't seem like he had lost his locker room

McCarthy is by all reports a fantastic person, it's completely reasonable to believe he lost the players on the field but still had their respect as a person. If you had a boss who you didn't think could do the job anymore but was a great person would you give them an ovation in a similar situation? I think most people would.

I don't think anyone has said this is a situation where people hated Mike but more that his message as it pertains to football had gotten stale and wasn't reaching the team anymore.

Totally off topic, but since you brought up standing ovation, I feel like having me a rant.

Standing ovations are so overused these days. It's gotten to the point that people seem to think every play, every concert, every award announcement needs to end in a standing ovation. And if one person stands, there's so much peer pressure for everyone else to stand, because otherwise you look like an asshole for staying in your seat. It drives me nuts. Standing ovations should be reserved for those rare moments in life when a performance is so awe inspiring that the audience is swept to its feet as one, like the first time Handel's Messiah was played and the king was so moved that he lept to his feet. If every ovation must be standing, then what's the point of ordinary applause?

Call me a Grinch if you must, but I don't stand for gradeschool concerts. They're sheer torture. 😫

dfosterf (20h) : Does anyone know what Lambeau field improvements got put on hold? My guess would be for the 2025 draft
Zero2Cool (22h) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (22h) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (22h) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.
dfosterf (22h) : Against tbd
dfosterf (22h) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga
dfosterf (22h) : Luckily for all concerned, I don't post them. I did one, but that was like 25 mocks ago
Zero2Cool (22h) : NFL 2024 gonna start Sept 5th isn't it???
Zero2Cool (22h) : Ugh... kids these days!
dfosterf (22h) : I'm gonna go do some more mock draft hell instead 🤪
Zero2Cool (23h) : Did we do one of those prediction threads yet for 2024 season?
dfosterf (23h) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (23h) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (23h) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers halt scheduled 80mil upgrade of stadium until lease agreement talks are restarted
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : City of Green Bay puts Packers' Lambeau Field lease talks on hold
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers 1 of 3 teams to vote no on new kickoff rule.
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : Packers sign another Kicker
dfosterf (26-Mar) : Lengthy explanation at PFF if you click the link

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Shouldn't be penalized cuz official screwed up
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Yeah, challenge until you are incorrect twice.
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
