The way McCarthy described the firing though it sounded a bit impersonal it also sounded pretty standard. Starting to sound like McCarthy began thinking he was untouchable and let his foot off the gas. The fact that he was surprised by getting fired and thinking it couldn't have been handled any worse makes me think he was as big of an ego maniac as everyone thinks Rodgers is.

I really hate media these days.

I include myself in this statement.

I read the McCarthy story and thought wow Mike could have played the victim, but as he always has, he took the high road.

Tyler Dunn has been added to my "don't read or listen to list".

This will pass.

Another "big" story will happen if not before the draft, it will be the draft

The decisions have been made.

Like it or not, they are what they are.

The draft will come and go, another season will be here soon.

Time to get on board with The Packer organization.

National Sportstalk radio is pretty much a joke anymore.

Local shows in my area actually talk about sports. Probably the same in your area.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Boy Buckeye, in my opinion, your post really NAILED it!
Good job! You made great points, and stated them all well!
(I better stop.....or I’ll make your head too big to put on a Packer hat!😂 )

It seems that what used to be sports news has turned into “shock jock radio”. If you actually just try to report actual sports news, people will tune to the “Jerry Springer” types instead.

You can even tell they don't really believe it at all, but they play long just to get callers on their lines. And the few times they ignore completely stupid stuff, they get people tweeting and calling saying how can you NOT be talking about this??

They will do what it takes to get listeners.
Otherwise the people will tune to another station, and jobs will be lost.

Martha Careful (15h) : *game plan

Martha Careful (15h) : IMHO, not even close. He is not a guy you game play around.

Mucky Tundra (18h) : is Aiyuk worth a 1st rounder?

Zero2Cool (19h) : 49ers are seeking a 1st round pick in exchange for WR Brandon Aiyuk

Mucky Tundra (22-Apr) : Based on Gutes comments, now I don't feel as silly having 13 picks in my mock the other day

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Zach Wilson to Broncos.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Gutekunst says he'd love to have 13 or 14 picks. He's trading back huh lol

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.

Mucky Tundra (18-Apr) : Adds most of the information this time of year comes from agents.

Mucky Tundra (18-Apr) : @RealAlexBarth Bill Belichick says accurate draft information doesn't leak from teams until about 12 hours before the draft. Adds most of th
