Two ways to motivate: Packers’ McCarthy used flea bag hotels; 49ers’ DeBartolo was partial to DC-10s

The Green Bay Packers play their home games in Titletown. As we speak, they play their road games in Loserville.

Sunday night the Pack lost its eighth consecutive away game, imperiling its microscopic chances for a playoff berth. As you can imagine, it’s no laughing matter.

On second thought, it is kind of a laughing matter. After Sunday’s loss to the Vikings, former Packers defensive back Will Blackmon took to Twitter to reminisce about the team’s four-game road losing streak in 2008 and how coach Mike McCarthy went about getting his players’ minds right.

When I was on the packers in 2008 We lost 4 straight road games.
