It mostly rehashed a lot of old news. Two of Chris' opinions on it were when he stated:

"But parting ways with McKenzie — no matter how grave the consequences at cornerback — was one of Sherman’s best moves in a forgettable tenure as GM. It rid the Packers of a disenfranchised player, and it afforded Ted Thompson, the new GM, the second-round pick to acquire promising rookie safety Nick Collins."

and at the end Havel states:

"It was about money.

If the Packers had sweetened McKenzie’s contract, I suspect he would have stayed put. When they didn’t, he forced a trade by being an insufferable pain in the butt. He walked out on his team at the first sign of trouble. That doesn’t make McKenzie clever. It makes him a quitter. Come Sunday he’ll be a loser."
