Ted Thompson Seems To Have Issues With Telling The Truth

the Jets gave a better offer than the Bucs.

I see past wins don’t make a great franchise today . In the past the Pack was precieved to be a model franchise . All model franchises today only seem to have one thing in common . A star QB !!!!! Brett is starting to light the fires for the up coming season . The swagger is back . A healthy ankle may just have something to do with that .

Then he was told on National T.V. that he was going to retire . Accept 25 million . Allow them to sell their merchandice with his name on it . And be forced to appear 10 times a year in Green !!! He said he still wanted to play . They said ,NO !!! And you know the rest ……. They got arrogant . Thought they owned a God ! And you LLV still fail to see. After 4200+ yards 33/7 Int . . Brett owns th NFL and there is nothing Ted can do about it !!! Goodell on the other hand ……….the bastard .

I have 2 Packer executives and 3 board members as neighbors and the stories I have been told make me sick to my stomach. They have done everything in there power not to tarnish his image. When Brett was everyone’s hero in Packer Nation I was being told the stories of
greed and arrogance.

One story I can tell because it was relayed by my son who was probably 8 or 9 then. He used to go to Lambeau and play in the gym with one of my neighbors kids and he told me he saw Brett’s locker. I said pretty cool all those players lockers and stuff. He said no he has his own locker room he really doesn’t associate with the rest of the team. The locker with Brett’s name was for show only.

Some team player.

Ted’s responsibility is to the Green Bay Packer’s not Brett Farve. To make the right decisions a GM has to take all the emotions out of a decision, there is no one better at this. This is probably his biggest asset but also his biggest liability because it costs him in public perception.

I’m thrilled with the way it has turned out. As long Rogers is here Ted will surround him with the talent to be in the hunt every year. At 26 that could be a long time.

I was all over this story from the beginning. For days before it was released to the media that Favre was traded to the Jets, the story was that the Packers were in talks with the Buccaneers and the Jets. Favre knew the Jets were an option.

Favre tells us all his ankle is bothering him, but he will be magically healed once the Vikes leave Mankato.
He also goes out of his way to make the Packers look bad so he doesn’t look bad. Don’t be so easily duped. Viking fans…I tell you.

Gruden even stated after the trade to the Jets that the Jets offer was better.

Favre is a joke. He needs to shut his mouth. It’s only blind sheep that can’t see how full of crap he really is.

First off, I am a Vikings fan and will give my starting quarterback the benefit of the doubt over our rival’s blush wearing GM. Let’s just get that out of the way.

I only see two possibilities in all of this:

1) Brett absolutely wanted out of Green Bay for whatever reason and he manipulated his way towards that, including lying on many occasions. A lot of the evidence supports this. But I just don’t see the motive. He’s on a team in a city where everyone adores him and just came back from the NFC championship game in which he blew it. Why would he want out? That makes no sense at all.

2) Thompson and Co. wanted Brett out of town because he was changing his mind after they did their drafts and FA acquisitions. They were so annoyed that they were actually willing to burn Brett’s legacy and put Packer fans through tremendous stress and embarrassment to accomplish it. That or they were stupid enough to think Brett and the offense would suck without Brett at all of camp. Then they did everything they could to manipulate the media and their fans into thinking that it wasn’t totally the management’s fault, including lies and deceit on multiple occasions.

I tend to go with #2 because it seems more realistic. There is actually a selfish personal motive. The only way #1 is true is if the management had angered Brett in other ways to give him motive, in which case I again go back to Ted and Co being at fault. You don’t come into town and piss off Brett Favre. Makes no sense.

It is as if the Packer management wants absolute 100% submission to authority by all of their players. Favre talking out in the past about coaching or personel decisions and holding out into camp probably ultimately pushed the management far enough to force him out of town.

The sad thing in all of this is that TT had to use deception to maintain the integrity of the organization. Kind of a paradox.

Oh well it’s a boring time, the post got a lot of reaction, but I’d rather talk about why my teams better than yours or how wo improved vs how you improved type discussions. Been laid up on the couch for 3 weeks so any discussion is better than none at all. Let the season begin

Trev if by flailing you mean T-jack winning in GB and winning the North . As your team wins only 6 games . Then I.ll take flailing any day !!!
LLV , you get out much . It was common fact that Brett was not allowed to compete for his job . It was common fact he was offered said contract w/25million and ten appearances for , and the sales deal . It was also common fact that he was allowed on the property but not allowed on the field . Keep defending the Pack and I will begin to wonder where your loyalties lie . My loyalty is with the truth at any cost . If you hesitate to understand where my priorities lie .

Keep trying to discredit me . You will get over the embarassment in a few years . I said before his , Brett’s daughter will write his book and all will be good then . Diehard Pack fans will never except the point . What is the truth to fanatics anyway .

Just when I think I’ve finally reconciled my hatred for Ted Thompson and put it behind me to a certain degree, you gotta go and stir the pot … DAMN!
