I don’t know if it was as easy for you as it was for me, but
the firing of Mike McCarthy was easy as pie (by the way where did that saying
come from? I have made pies and cakes and it is a lot easier to make a cake
than a pie) for me. I was so ready to NOT see that chubby fellow hidden behind
his play sheet on the sidelines calling plays I predicted he would call, which
predictably failed most of the time, especially after a timeout. I didn’t miss
him at all. Not at all. I wonder how many others felt that way. Joe Philbin has
revitalized Aaron Rodgers in particular and the offense in general. I also
don’t miss Dom Capers up in his perch but for an entirely different reason.
Mike Pettine sits in Capers seat and the Packers defense fails just as often as
Capers’ defense did. It’s as if Dom just had a makeover.
But now word has come out that the Packers have interviewed
two coaches. Before I mention their sorry names I want to make a comparison.
When Ted Thompson was promoted and put in charge of tutoring his bastard son
Brian Gutekunst the Packers didn’t miss a beat – the Thompson Beat I mean.
