There's no one from Chicago that actually follows this tale, except for those fakers. Especially a Cubs fan and a Chicago Cardinals fan, that does not equate.

I know a ton of people from Chicago.  I don't know a single soul who roots for the Cardinals because they used to play there 60 years and two cities ago.

Did you root for them when they were located in Racine too?

Yes, there are Cardinals fans still in Chicago, whether you believe it or not.  Dated article, and the numbers are small, but not gone.

There are pockets of Packer fans here that their fathers and grandfathers taught to cheer for because they blamed Halas for orchestrating the Cardinals departure.

When the Cards come to Chicago there are still parties for fans of the team that the fan club will put on.  We have attended several of them over the years, small gatherings.  There are a few fan pages and social media destinations with information if you are interested in attending.

I don't know a single person that voted for the current POTUS, therefore he didn't win.       I linked an article a second ago that showed there are plenty of us, at least last time we were in the big game, but we didn't all die in the last 8 years or move out of the city (though moving has become contagious).

In some families, following teams is passed on from generation to generation.  From fathers to sons.

You're lying again.

[Jockey]

The WORST offense in the NFL just had 7 plays longer than GB's longest play.

Except a Cubs and Cardinals fan wouldn't cross a Venn Diagram

What's a chicos?

Well McCarthy is out per the Packers. 

[wadesworld]

4 years late. But maybe there will be time to win one more title with Rodgers.

About damn time.

[DegenerateDish]

There was obviously no way McCarthy could coach next week after today. I always think it’s better to do it now than wait until Black Monday.

Agreed. 

Wonder if Bruce Arians would be interested?  Got a lot out of Carlson Palmer toward the end of his career.

[GB Warrior]

What Packers retread are we going to hire? This is not a franchise known to think innovatively. Thank god Jon Gruden is off the market

[DegenerateDish]

Agreed.

Arians is first guy I thought of. I think Josh McDaniels would be a terrible fit there.

No matter what other jobs open, the Packers job will be the most coveted. No owner, clear management structure. Although the coach won’t get roster control, that shouldn’t prevent a really good list of people itching to get that gig.

[GGGG]

I'm not sure how clean the management structure is.  Will Murphy have this guy reporting to Gutekunst or are they going to still have him report to himself?  I'm hoping that was a one year deal just because of the personalities involved.

The good thing is that we will also no longer have a coach married to the ex-wife of a Packer's board member.  My understanding is that was causing some issues too.

[DegenerateDish]

Also, meant to add, if Rodgers has been playing on a bum knee, or he’s going to need it cleaned out right after the season, might consider shutting him down. If he’s totally fine, that’s different, but at this point, make sure he’s not going to do anything to really hurt himself, in what’s now a season fighting for a top 10 pick.

[Jockey]

 It's extremely rare for a 13th-year head coach to get pink slipped mid-season, but the Packers truly had no choice after Sunday's bury-your-head-in-shame embarrassing loss to the Cardinals. Perhaps McCarthy's negative impact on Aaron Rodgers and company has been overstated in the past, but there was no debate in 2018. McCarthy's scheme looked expired-milk stale as Rodgers struggled to get on the same page with his young receivers. McCarthy took months longer than any other football observer in America to realize Aaron Jones was better than Jamaal Williams. Perhaps most damagingly, he and Rodgers could scarcely conceal their animus for each other. The king of coaching not to lose despite having the most dangerous player in football, McCarthy has been laying the groundwork for this inevitable moment for years.

I read somewhere last week (think it was on ESPN) where GB's opening was only rated as 5th best for next year among expected openings.

Basically because of the management structure. Hopefully, the head coach will be moved under the GM now.

[Jockey]

Mac needs to go - today!

The team has already quit on him. Why prolong it any longer?

Proof that Murphy's first duty after a game is to read Scoop.

[4everwarriors]

He gone. Ring up T-Cube's bil, Jim, hey?
