McCarthy Meets Media
Packers head coach Mike McCarthy will meet the media later today at 4pm for the final time this season. We’re not sure how much we’ll learn from the coach about potential comings and goings on his roster or his coaching staff. The NFL announced on Monday that the Packers coaching staff will coach the NFC in the Pro Bowl starting next week in Hawaii. The Packers will also pick 26th in next Springs’ NFL Draft.

The Chiefs have hired a good man and John has earned this opportunity. We wish John and his family all the best.”
