A guy I know from Green Bay whose dad works for the Packers wrote this on his facebook status:
"I am sitting in Indianapolis watching a first class organization knowing full well what happens behind closed doors at 1265 Lombardi. The morons in that building are not only in coaching and personnel, but in Marketing, public relations, and accounting. If anyone wants to meet a real life George Constanza, go find Mark Shiefelbein. I think he has worked his way up to shopping for Ted Thompson. He gets paid to be Thompson's friend. I prefer to call McCarthy "Corky." Hopefully, "Life goes on" was on for more seasons than McCarthy lasts in Green Bay."
Now this doesn't surprise me one bit. It's a pretty well-known fact that Ted Thompson is one of the most socially awkward human beings ever, so i'm not shocked that they have some idiot on the payroll to be his pal. Andy Brandt, the Packers former salary cap guru who now writes for the nationalfootballpost.com, has written a lot of good stuff on TT and the inner workings of the Packers organization to support that.
McCarthy definitely needs to go. He has never done a single thing where you think to yourself "hey that was a smart call". His playcalling is so goddamn vanilla and predictable. I mean this is the same idiot who once took a freaking timeout just to decide whether or not to challenge a play. His decision-making is laughable at this point. What sucks is that if we fire him, there's no way the Packers get a guy like Bill Cowher or Dungy to replace him. That's because, assuming TT stays, he'll be under fire and no coach wants to go to any team with a GM on the hot seat, because if/when that GM gets fired, the new GM will want to hire his guy as head coach.
And fuck favre for going overboard with his celebrations and jumping around and crying like a little girl at the end. A lot of his passes were poorly thrown and any JV QB can hit an open receiver when he has time to sit back in the pocket and watch the entire goddamn Lord of the Rings trilogy before a defender gets to him.
It's time to face the fact that the Packers are simply not a good team. They've only beaten a middling Bears team at home and three of the worst teams in recent NFL history in the Rams, Browns, and Lions. The entire team lacks discipline. Their front 7 on offense is far and away the worst front 7 in the league. And they have a head coach who looks like he should be wearing a retard helmet at all times. Also, their kicker is terrible. I've maintained that Crosby sucks for a while now and he proved me right once again yesterday. This asshole has never made a single clutch kick in his entire NFL career. And that's not even getting into his weak ass kickoffs. He can't even get it past the 10-yard line. If this team somehow squeaks into a wild card spot this year, it will be solely due to a soft schedule. I saw no improvement in any facet of the game over the first 8 weeks of the season, so it's hard to believe that they will improve over the next 8.

My thoughts in a word: Ouchtown. But while we're here, let's get into this.
Addressing your opening quote, every team in sports is run by idiots. Usually the higher up you go, the bigger the idiot. And, if you're lucky enough to have your team run by someone competent, he's called an idiot for not thinking like everyone else (remember the 2006 NFL draft?? What kind of idiot would take Mario Williams over Reggie Bush and Vince Young?)
Secondly, who hasn't at one time paid someone to be their friend? I kept Jeremy on my payroll from 2002-2005 for exactly that reason.
Third, they can still get a good coach even if they're gonna fire their GM. No new GM is gonna come in and say "I don't want Bill Cowher/Tony Dungy as my coach." If you're either one of those guys, your name is your job security.
In closing, I had a long talk with Will when he was crying about "wanting Brett back". The whole thing is stupid. Rodgers (who is an ACTUAL child molester) is a better quarterback. Favre is like an ex who breaks up with you and then gets kinda fat. You start thinking "I don't know what I ever saw in her". But then you run into her at a bar a year later and she's in better shape than she ever was when you dated. Now you start to miss her, but what you're forgetting is that she broke your heart and fucked your sworn enemy. Anyways, I think you should stick with the girlfriend you got now. Even if she's a child molester.
Well, now that I've had a few days to let the frustration settle in and think about things a little bit, I think Rodgers was the right call. I've read a lot on nationalfootballpost.com about what happenend when Favre left and I don't blame the Packers for moving on. Rodgers definently has the skill set to be a great player. I just don't want him to be a stat qb. I want him to win the big games. His playing style actually reminds me a lot of Jim Kelly, which is certainly a nice memory.
As for TT, Mccarthy, and Favre, I hate them all. Favre is still good but he also has a great team. A lot of shitty quarterbacks look good when you have a great team, so Favre should be exceptional with that Vikings team.
Maybe we can bring Mike Holmgren back? He certainly would've benched and rung out Jolly for his stupid head but penalty. Mccarthy did nothing, said that's part of the game.
Anyways, basketball season is here. Now if only Herb Kohl will sell the Bucks.
