Mike did the right thing
So, guess what. Brett Favre is retiring again. Makes me look back three years and rethink my position on Mike McCarthy. I'm not going to say that Mike McCarthy is a great communicator, because from what I have seen, he isn't. He seems kind of thoughtless, just my take.
Three years ago, McCarthy put a figurative gun to Brett Favre's head and made him make up his mind. He needed a decision there and then. In hindsight, as I watch Brad Childress and the Vikings twist in the wind for the second year in a row, I think he did the right thing, and I think the Packers are currently better off for it. They made the playoffs last year and going by reports out of DePere to this point, they look like they could do it again.
It's amazing how good things go when there is no drama, no questions, no doubts. That goes for our everyday lives as well. When all the components that you need to get by are in place and all the cylinders are firing, life is pretty stinking good. It's when you have questions and doubts about the future, whether immediate or distant, it jacks with the plan, and when the plan is affected, life is no good. At the moment I'm going to give Mike McCarthy credit for spotting the fact that Favre could have turned into a terminal cancer that could have done more harm than good for the future of the team.
