So funny.
McCarthy Won’t Gloat Over Favre Decision

Packers coach Mike McCarthy took to the national radio airwaves Thursday on The Jim Rome Show. Not surprisingly, in light of the Packers’ Super Bowl championship, the topic of Brett Favre came up.
Rome asked McCarthy why no one in the Packers organization, including himself, GM Ted Thompson or QB Aaron Rodgers, have told the one-time naysayers “I told you so” or something to that effect, especially after all the grief the organization endured after trading Favre in 2008.
“It’s not part of our fiber,” said McCarthy. “We have to make tough decisions every single year as an organization. We just stayed true to the code of making the decisions we feel are in the best interest of the Green Bay Packers. With that being said there’s really nothing else to say.”
Rome followed up by asking McCarthy if he felt vindicated in any way by the decision to cut Favre loose in favor of Rodgers.
“No, I don’t view it that way,” said McCarthy. “If you feel people need to apologize, that’s fine. They can all send in their apologies to 1265 Lombardi Aveneue, Green Bay Wisconsin. We’d be fine with that.”
McCarthy laughed as he made that statement.
The head coach took the opportunity to praise Packers fans that packed Lambeau Field to honor the champions.
“That’s something I will never forget and no one in our organization will ever forget,” said McCarthy. “To have 60,000 of your fans enjoying the moment Tuesday was awesome. That’s something that will always be special.”
Rome asked McCarthy what it means for the Packers to bring home the Lombardi Trophy to Green Bay.
“It’s such a special place, for a small town to have a professional franchise and to be owned by the public is so unique, and everybody takes such pride in our success as a football team,” said McCarthy.
“The organization gives us all the resources we need to be successful so it’s great to deliver the championship back home. It’s very very personal with everybody involved in Green Bay, and really clear across the country and further than that as far as the support we have. But this town is very much interwined with the organization. I just can’t tell you how exciting it is, everybody is thrilled to death. It’s a very passionate time for us in Green Bay.”
I've never understood why so many ungrateful GB fans have insisted on ripping mccarthy and thompson.
Every team has those types. They blabber the loudest. The NY Giants have plenty of them that want to trade Eli Manning and fire Coughlin. They have no plan but they want those two to go. They also have no clue.
Very poor clock management is one reason.
Most aren't making things up-there are genuine concerns that keep occurring. Fans in Green Bay remember what happened after the SB win and want to prevent it from happening again.
Sherman as GM was a disaster after Wolf retired and it took this long to re-stock the team after he ran it down.
Back on topic, there were many questions surrounding the hiring, but obviously it has turned out quite well. Which seems to be the case with a lot of what Ted Thompson has done. There were many Packer fans here and elsewhere that lambasted each and every move Thompson did (or didn't do), but he has stuck to his plan and it has worked out marvelously. And because of his approach, mainly add through the draft, they aren't hamstrung by bad contracts.We'll see if that continues, but obviously the future (and present) looks bright in Green Bay.
here's a stream: 
Except for the bringing a SB to GB part.
Yeah, we'll take the Super Bowl trophy. Maybe someday you Viking fans will understand what that feels like.....vs winning a division title.
