Coach Mike McCarthy released from hospital - mildy disfigured.

Updating you on our previous story, Green Bay Packers head coach, Mike McCarthy, was released from an Arlington hospital this afternoon. McCarthy was involved with a post-game incident last night when a Gatorade cooler filled with searing hot chili was dumped on his head in celebration of Green Bay's victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

In his first interview since the incident, Coach McCarthy had this to say:

"It is with great sadness that I announce to you today that I have turned into a half-chili man.

Yesterday's incident was an accident and I understand that.  But now I must live in shame as a half-man, half (pause, sniffle) chili man.  I look just like that Chili Davis guy.  I will continue my tenure as the head coach of the Green Bay Packers, but just understand, things won't be the same.  I will not be able to travel to warm humid climates as my chili face will overheat and cause irreversible damage on my brain.  In addition, there will be no butt slapping or high fives from me.  The overall greasy nature of my body chemistry will now cause my pours to sweat chili grease.  The funny thing about this is I've always been more of a chowder guy.  Go figure.  This is the path the good lord has carved for me and I will make the best of it.  When life gives you chili face, win another Super Bowl.  Thanks guys.  No more questions."

A clearly distraught, yet hopefully optimistic McCarthy, left the stage with what looked like tears pouring from his eyes.  He was seen leaving the press conference with a sour cream balm covering his face.  McCarthy will be present at the Packers Super Bowl celebration at Lambeau Field.  He has made a request that fans and media refrain from calling him chili face.

On a positive note.  Coach McCarthy has been presented endorsement offers from Hormel, Campbell's Chunky and Pick-n-Save.  The details of these offers have yet to be disclosed.
