Mike McCarthy denies 'utterly absurd' massage claims
For the second consecutive day, Mike McCarthy and his unceremonious breakup with the Green Bay Packers have been making headlines, Jeremy Bergman of NFL.comreports.
On Wednesday, McCarthy detailed to ESPN's Rob Demovsky that Green Bay could not have handled his midseason and post-game firing "any worse." On Thursday, Bleacher Report's Tyler Dunne released an exhaustive article detailing the deterioration of the relationship between McCarthy and quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Among the accusations levied against the former Packers coach, who was fired following a Dec. 13th loss to the lowly Arizona Cardinals at Lambeau Field, in the B/R article is that McCarthy would miss meetings to have massages in his office at the team facility.
McCarthy denied those claims and refuted other aspects of the article to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero on Thursday.
"I wouldn't even know where to start and stop with the article," the former Packers coach told Pelissero. "But to say that I skipped a team meeting for a massage is utterly absurd."
McCarthy added, laughing, "I have a massage scheduled tomorrow, and I can promise you I will not miss my primary responsibility of picking up my two kids from school."
