There’s been an update from the story we’ve been following out of Green Bay all day and, unfortunately, it is a sad one.

Jason Wilde of ESPN Wisconsin reported a short time ago that the Packers players have been told that the body of Michael Philbin, son of offensive coordinator Joe Philbin, has been identified. The younger Philbin had been reported missing after last being heard from at 2 a.m. on Sunday and authorities were searching around Oshkosh in hopes of finding him. A body was recovered earlier Monday in Oshkosh.

Our thoughts go out to the Philbin family and the larger Packer family at this time.

Wow awful story. My prayers go out to the family.

Horrible.

Here's another way to look at this story.

"Convicted sex offender dies in river."



Someone may call me heartless, cold, ruthless, and possibly even a BIG MEANIE
Sucks for the parents, but unless he made this miraculous turnaround the world is a better place with him gone.

terrible tragedy for his family and it comes at a bad time for the Coordinator and the team.

And Nola, I don't really know the specifics about what this guy did. Sometimes people become a "sex offender" by just making a really dumb mistake. Doesn't make them evil people. My cousin almost got into serious shit because he was "sexting" with a girl that was 16 when he was 19. He's an idiot, but it's not like he preys on underage girls. He was lucky his uncle knew the family and they didn't press charges.

My point is just being labeled something doesn't tell the entire truth about the person or the incident.

I believe you can also get on the sex offender list for pissing in public.
At least in Michigan.

He had a house party and raped 2 16 year olds after getting them drunk (while he was 18).

It's possible that isn't exactly how it went down, but that's the police reports from a few different sources..
