The 21-year-old son of Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin has been reported as missing.

The Associated Press reports that Michael Philbin had been visiting friends in Oshkosh when he was last seen Sunday at 2. a.m. CT. He was reported missing on Sunday evening.

Michael Philbin spent six months in jail in 2009. He was convicted of sexually assaulting two young girls, along with two counts of battery.

Joe Philbin met with the Chiefs and Dolphins about their head coaching vacancy.

UPDATE 3:20 p.m. ET: Packers G.M. Ted Thompson released a statement on the matter.

“The Packers organization is aware of the missing person report regarding Michael Philbin, son of offensive coordinator Joe Philbin. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Philbin family during this difficult time. We ask anyone with information about Michael to contact the Oshkosh Police Department.”

He said the usual things about Cassel "We won with him, he got us to the playoffs". He won't flame him because he might need him if the Orton route does not work.

I think it's almost 50/50 with an edge to Orton.

It just came across to me as if he knows Pioli wants Cassel. It sounded like an obligatory peter-puffing of Cassel because he knows that's who Pioli wants.

Famous last words from Fat Scott during his introduction press conference in 2009:

"It's not about having the best people, It's about having the right people".

I.e. the "right people"... a cheap talent-less roster that keeps the Chiefs millions upon millions under the salary cap and a yes-man puppet for HC.

Welcome to Fat Scott's personal utopia of mediocre football.

The writing was on the wall.

True, but I liked the fact Haley is young. He didn't have a QB which makes it hard for any coach. Haley showed improvement from when he started. He settled down. He was a rookie coach who the Chiefs brought to the forefront and didn't stick with him. I would have liked to see what he could do with a good QB. I would have given him 1 more year. But that's just me. I still think could be good in time.

I'm not bitching though, people who know a whole hell alot more than me are making decisions. I just go by the gut feelings I have as a fan.

I was talking about talk radio should have clarified.

Sign me up,

Palko had better pocket presence than Cassel. That is saying something.

Of course he's not going to throw people under the bus. Nobody really wanted/expected that. Instead of saying very little when addressing players under contract that you're not pleased with, he went out of his way to say things that were not required by the question he was asked. If he's pleased with Cassel, this is a terrible hire.

It's like with the IRS and law enforcement. You answer the question they're asking...and provide ZERO additional information that could lead to other questions.

Expected him to? No. I'm realistic.

I'm also EXTREMELY disappointed with the direction of the franchise.

Not a problem, I should have read backwards.

Now back to your regularly scheduled bitching.

How can he possibly pick him?

This.
And Romeo's D must have seen enough of Cassel in practice for the last 2 years. Its impossible to believe Romeo doesn't know that he is setup to fail with Cassel as the starter.

I'm just as excited as I was when Herm was hired.
