I don't think the Yankees want him. They are tied up to so many monsters I don't see what he brings them. They score runs like crazy already, their focus is going to be pitching. I think Manny hurt his value a lot over the last month. He can obviously hit, but his antics got national play and his "I'm not gonna hustle" stuff is not the kind of thing that entices billionaires to invest in guys. I think he's now a prime candidate for a sleeper team. His contract ends up smaller than initially anticipated and he winds up with a second-tier contender. He is done in LA. Don't think there's any chance he goes back there.

That's insane, especially since I think most people's perception of them is losing a lot of games pre-2003.

My only point is that a lot of players would have been a lot less willing to change positions than Monty was, especially from WR to one where the average career is 2-3 seasons and the average salaries less. Most pro athletes would have put up a way bigger stink about that. And I think it is funny how fans hold athletes to such a high professional standard. The ladies at my office go into a tizzy if you ask them to color code stuff differently, I can't imagine telling a pro athlete you want him to change positions, much less in GB where you will probably get 6 carries a game. I think he was fine at WR, but when they went through that experiment they were so loaded there it was unlikely he would play. It was McCarthy's genius way of getting his "best athletes" on the field. Throughout the first offseason after he switched to RB, numerous scouts thought it was a joke and made comments that he was never going to be a RB. Then the Packers go out and get a bunch of RBs, which made it all the stranger. What was aggravating though, is that they almost never seemed to utilize packages that would create those matchups. You basically never saw the Bennett/Kendricks 2TE mistmatches everyone was dreaming of last year (before he was hurt), and you rarely saw them spread Montgomery out to get him matched up with LBs and etc. He seemed so hell bent on making him into this power runner he isn't. If I were him, I'd have wished they just cut me so I could play WR somewhere else. It wouldn't be the first time the Packers have made guys play out of position. See Hyde, Micah; Randall, Demarious, and numerous DL/OLB. Lots of weird roster construction the past few seasons. TT/MM or whoever was calling shots seemed to have this obsession with drafting "athletes" and making them play positions they aren't used to.

I don't blame him. What he did is selfish and he should be cut, but this is their livelihood and the Packers, other than keeping him on the payroll all this time, really stunted his career. First taking a WR and forcing him into the RB spot, he does it 100% loyally, then through injuries and offensive sputtering basically sees himself carved out of the offense. That all came to a boil yesterday when he is taken off the field and then tries to do what most athletes do at one point or another - "make something happen." I'm sure at some point Ty had a case of "everything I've done for this team and this is how they treat me." Again, what he did wasn't right and he is probably out the door, but I empathize with what he did. Wanted to prove he can "make a play." Just another example of a player completely mismanaged by McCarthy, Thompson, or whoever is responsible for the dumb positional musical chairs they had going on with him. He has been totally jerked around by the Packers. Even prior to this it will be slim picking for him finding a new job. Nobody knows what kind of WR he is and nobody took him seriously as a RB.

Money makes it easier but you still have to be competent. I don't think $200 million would suddenly make it easy for the Brewers. Lots of teams have had plenty of money and been dry for a long time. The Yankees have not really been all that great for the last 15 years or so. There was basically no separation between the Dodgers and Brewers. Money was not why the Brewers missed out on the WS. The Cardinals are competitive every year without a really monster payroll, the Royals won two pennants and a championship. The money thing is just sort of played out. That is MLB, it is not changing, so we are better off just learning how to compete under these circumstances, which we are doing. I am convinced that money will not prevent the Brewers from winning a championship.

Don't think the Manny-LA marriage is going to last beyond that at bat.

Your perspective on this is comical dude. You stormed out of the gates with foul language and attacks, carried on your "I am the master of how everyone should feel" schtick which is par for the course. Get cozy on the ignore list.

The #6 is 4-3 right now, that team will likely end 10-6 or 9-7. There is still room for error and unfortunately this is usually what the Packers do. Take 8 games off and finish 6-2, which puts them squarely as a squeak-in team that is playing Wild Card weekend. How many years does Tom Brady get a bye? This team may not be good enough to pull that late push off. Either way the Groundhog's Day with the Packers is just so old. It's time for someone new to run things.

No dude, that's your emotion-dictating schtick that more than one person is sick of. I am allowed to voice my displeasure about McCarthy. The McCarthy defense force has no leg to stand on anymore, I used to defend him but since about 2015 enough is enough. It is totally within reason to criticize him for this loss, and it is very likely he is fired end of season. You could have also replied to me without "blow it out your rear" which is about 1000x more offense and combative than "enough of this," which is barely anything at all. It says just about everything to me that you found that so terribly offensive. If you actually think "enough of this" is on par with "blow it out your rear" and "tool," well that is why I asked if you are actually a teacher. You didn't "call anything out," you started slinging insults and are on about your 7th one by now.

Think it would be a good time to point out to you that somebody else is reporting your posts before I even can. People are sick of your emotion dictating schtick.

Not sure how asking if you're a teacher is condescending, but you are really intent on a pissing match. Please keep at it. You know what I and many others are sick of? You telling people how to feel. It is old. You don't like it? Hit ignore. I said NOTHING but my opinion on the game and McCarthy. You started slinging insults. You should have been in the box a longgggg time ago, hopefully this is finally it for you.

Just pointing out that you swore. Against forum policy, right? Well the forum has a filter which was not triggered, and it was your completely unprovoked insult that I was quoting, so you may not want to die on that hill. Are you actually a teacher?

Keep digging your hole.

That isn't being a know it all, it's just observing your immaturity and melt down. You can't ever stay on topic without insults. Exhibt A, B and C above. Enjoy what's coming. I know I will.

Lol. "Condescending," from the guy literally telling people to blow it out their ass. Buh bye buddy. Enjoy the time you have left here. You're throwing a little temper tantrum over the Packers losing and can't handle having their poor play pointed out to you, so you resort to (multiple) personal attacks, per usual for you.

Man, you are being a tool. That is all. Says the guy calling people tool and telling them to "blow it out their rear" One person on this thread stepped way over the line and hint hint, it was you. Hopefully you get what's long overdue. Not being peppy Peter over a team that is yet again very disappointing doesn't give you license to a) be a jerk or b) circumvent the rules.

Hey cut it out there Mr Negative. The Packers are .500 which is totally acceptable for a team led by the best player in football. Lots of reasons to feel warm and fuzzy after this one. Our love will keep them warm as they look up at the Bears and Vikings and possibly finish last in the North. They tried hard and if they miss the playoffs a second straight year that is a-ok as long as they battle! /s

He isn't going to be cut. He's good in McCarthy's delusions and sees the field all the time. They won't give full-time duties to Jones they won't cut Ty after one play.

Enough of this. Yes he is getting crapped on, as he should. They were in position to win this game and there are multiple points you can point to where he made a bad decision. He's definitely getting fired at the end of this season. BG probably wanted do it when he got the job. Blow it out your rear buddy. They played a good game today. Tons of positive to take going forward. The loss stings but they should’ve had an opportunity for a big win on the road. I’d be willing to bet you had them losing by two scores. Go be a Debbie downer towards someone else. Wow. Blow it out your rear? Really mature. Go back to August. I called this team being terrible pretty accurately, right down to why they stink. Called 6-8 wins and was pretty much met with disdain. The fans calling for McCarthy's head were nuts when they were doing it 5 years ago, it is completely justified at this point. We have totally wasted an MVP QB's career beyond age 27. Again. I'm sick of "Debbie Downer" being used against anybody who watches the game like a realist.

Stupid running play out of own end zone, go up 10-0 and play as if it is 35-0, his calling card of more idiotic timeout usage, totally inconsistent offense that disappears for quarters at a time. I don't care if LA is 65-0, the Packers absolutely should have won that game. I am sick of McCarthy. He is probably an OK coach, but his m.o. is old in Green Bay. And I am sick and tired of giving away 4-5 regular season games a year. Rodgers would have more playoff success if he wasn't playing the wild card round every time we get in. EVERY single year we "get it going" in about Week 10. That has to stop. Hopefully it will after another failure this year, as I don't see any way he's retained. It is just past time for new blood.

Enough of this. Yes he is getting crapped on, as he should. They were in position to win this game and there are multiple points you can point to where he made a bad decision. He's definitely getting fired at the end of this season. BG probably wanted do it when he got the job.

Rodgers is another year older and we are trotting out the same incompetence. Plus side is McCarthy is absolute toast, but it may be too late.

This team, lmao.

I still think some people are really underestimating the chances that Schoop is back. I think it is more likely that he is indeed not returning, but I don't feel it is the lock that many seem to think it is.

He had all 11 at second base, don't forget that.
