I listened to the Mike McCarthy press conference tonight on the status of Brett Favre and I have to say that it was a complete waste of time, and he provided no additional insight as to the mechanisms of what has transpired.
Mike did a great job imitating Ted Thompson, with his song and dance. When asked a direct question as to why number 4 was not the starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, he dodged, he ducked, he spun to the left and juked to the right; McCarthy did everything but answer the question.
My question for him would have been, why did you and the Packer organization feel it necessary to play this out in public? The answer would have been the same - a dodge, a duck, a juke, a spin, you name it; everything but the truth.
I said it before and I will say it again, this never should have been about Favre, and the entire Packer organization has been badly damaged from this sad episode and if heads do not roll over it, the Packers will lose fans.

was thinking the same damn thing
What else did you really expect? The packers made it clear favre was no longer wanted and the head coach is going to do the same song and dance as everyone else.
Disappointed, there is no other way to describe it. It was clear from the start that they were not going to let him practice, play or anything else.
Could not help but raise the question that McCarthy was probably told by Thompson that Favre was not going to play and if he did not find a reason to keep him off the field he would be fired.
Mike McCarthy is a shill and I totally lost respect for him today.
I have lost respect for the Packers and I have come to despise Ted Thompson.
I am surely no fair weather fan, but cheering for the packers knowing that ted thompson and company just screwed the pooch on this one is too much to ask even a saint.
McCarthy has too short a memory, it wasn't him or thompson that got GB so close last year, it was Favre.
Without him they both SUCK!
