Head Coach Mike McCarthy had a press conference today and he
made three big, huge, humongous announcements. I started to grab my chest and
stumble around the room, but...........
First, "Ted
(Thompson) is back. don't know where the
heck some of these articles come from. I don't see any change in him as far as
his vision ... he's working, I don't see any change in that."
Second, "This is no time for drama. Dom Capers
is an outstanding football coach. That doesn't change. He had a tough challenge
in front of him this year, and once again that coaching staff dealt with a lot.
I think clearly if you look at the way the team was motivated, the way they
were prepared, the things we were able to do, the adjustments we made, it's all
part of it. So, a lot of good things came out of that."
Third, "Associate head coach/offense Tom
Clements will move on to some other interests." Clements' contract is
expiring. I guess he is the reason the Packers defense sucked so much.
In a span of just
a few minutes McCarthy didn't make my day, ended my Held Hostage countdown and
sent me into a funk that may just last the rest of McCarthy's tenure as head
coach.
