The Ball stuff seems driven by family and old connections (Schottenheimer Chiefs) because they were the only ones to talk directly about this.

So is this the second shot fired in a PR battle to determine who succeeds Ted in Green Bay?

Might the actually qualified Ball replace the completely unknown princeling Wolf as the fans favorite future GM?

I agree that Ball is probably more qualified. However, people who dislike Thompson's free agency policy might see him as too similar to Thompson. A big question is how long can they expect Ball to wait. He's 57 years old. Wolf is 35, so he can afford to be more patient than Ball.
