Bob McGinn with some butt hurt? Shocking!

Favre got him laid, Rodgers didn't

Bob's advice:  " If you’re not pissing people off, you’re not doing your job. There has to be an adversarial relationship."   

I guess that's his explanation for his columns.

One more. Just 1 more Super Bowl win for Rodgers.

I have always appreciated his player ratings and extensive game reviews. I believe this quote characterizes his approach. 

"Modesty. I think that’s crucial. I think too many young reporters think they are the show, think they are the game. It drives me nuts. We have to know who we are. We are journalists. We’re reporters. Every scout and assistant coach, to me, knows 100 times more football than I do. The scouts in Green Bay can go down the hall and there is [defensive coordinator] Dom Capers sitting in his office with his tape on. They can sit there for 15 minutes. Dom, let’s talk about this coverage. I would love to have had a chance like that. I never did. So when you interview these people, don’t act like you know a lot. Be modest. Temper it down. Listen, listen, to what they’re telling you."

Bob says this while blathering on for years about the roster, the need to get bigger, the need to get smaller, older, younger, Ted's management of the salary cap, Ted being cheap, question McCarthys play calling and snap counts. Yet young reporters drive him crazy for acting like they know better than the coaches and scouts they cover while he does exactly that. 

Like the majority of sports journalists. Bob spends an awful lot of time talking out both sides of his own ass. 

Bob was at his best grading players on Tuesdays and his draft work. His over emotional editorial ramblings was when everything went to ****. 

^^^ this. 

I second that. Great post Chili.

The irony phone is ringing.

Well, my butt only hurts because you are hung like a moose, big boy.

Hmmm. McGinn starting his own site. Subscription required  Here's the info. Think I'll sign up.

Cool!
I'll wait for you to post the important stuff here!

Entrepreneur-ship ain't what it used to be.

Excellent!  Frosting on today's cake after I received a call from someone who just gave me Club Level seats to the Packers vs Broncos game this Saturday night.

I have a subscription to the Journal-Sentinel but it has gone straight down the toilet since the Gannett Co. bought it.  Original reason for subscribing was about 75% Wisconsin/world news based and 25% sports news based.  Now the news reporting is the typical USA Today poop and the Packer coverage has declined considerably since McGinn's exit.  Everything down to the generic website design pretty much sucks.  Considering that I've been thinking about ditching my Journal-Sentinel subscription, I'll probably go ahead with that and end up throwing some business in Bob's direction.  As long as Bob doesn't fall off his rocker during the next couple of weeks and does something crazy like adding Greg Bedard to the roster, I'm probably in.

Appears the Packers got a chance to show Bob they didn't appreciate his writeups:  

Packers refuse to credential longtime reporter Bob McGinn

“I’m pretty much doing the same I would,” McGinn told the Locked On Packers Podcast. “I’m not traveling to games. 

Color me unsurprised.

I wonder if they would credential one of us? I once tried to get a photographer cred for a poster here but that didn't work.

If they gave Nagler a cred, I would think someone here might have a chance. This website has been in existence for 17 years or more.
