Packers, McCarthy Lay an Egg in Firing Longtime Employee Mike Wood
For the Green Bay Packers and coach (for now) Mike McCarthy, this is starting to feel like one of those star-crossed seasons that teams and coaches have during which things just seem to go wrong at every turn.
A story in yesterday’s Journal-Sentinel provides yet another example, and honestly doesn’t make a damn bit of sense from the Packers’ perspective.
A longtime Packers employee, Mike Wood, was fired by the Packers because McCarthy claimed that Wood told him not to “lay an egg” a couple of days before the epic Packers-Vikings game at Lambeau. Wood claims that he said nothing of the sort and merely told the coach to have the team ready to “kick some butt.”
I wonder why the hell it even matters, especially in relation to the employment of a loyal, 22-year employee.
Of course, this is the same coach who famously pushed for another longtime Packers employee to leave…but I digress.
