Ted's Apparatchik's AKA The Packeratchik Party

[RashanGary]

This party is here-by errected in the name of 2007 Packer off-season optimism. Through the struggles of 2005 and 2006 many Packer fans have become skeptical. This is a place where you can feel comfortable rooting on and supporting your team. Feel not the need to defend yourself against blind Ted Thompson support attacks. Hell, that is exactly what we are about.

There is no president of this club. There is no VP or any ranking of note. Everyone is equal and nobody is set above the rest. Welcome to early 20th century Russia. Welcome to the plutonic state of Thompsonism. (Heil Ted)

A list of members will be made alphabetically as to avoid any sense of seniority or superiority. Again, we are all equal in our support of the Packers.


The only requisite for joining is a love and support for the Packers. Welcome to the Packeratchik Party (we welcome all)


NOTE: Once you join, we strongly recommend a "no turning back" approach. We, the Packeratchiks, are deathly serious about our core beliefs and anyone caught trying to escape will deal with our special unit of law enforcement "the KGB". The KGB is manned by 1 person, KGB.

If you threaten the Packeratchik party -

KGB will hunt you down and have his way with you much like a Gorrilla would if you gave it a bottle of viagra. OK, welcome aboard. We're looking forward to blindly following along side all of you. Just don't get individualistic or question Ted and everything will be....Plutonic *deranged laughter* "HEHEHE..HAHAHAHAHAH...HEHE"

Go Gett'em KGB

[RashanGary]

Like most good dictatorships, Ted Thompson gained his power by entrenching his totalitarian regime during a time of hardship. The Packers, lead by Mike Sherman, endured 12 losses in one season. Fans were getting restless, calling for the head of someone, anyone. Ted Thompson rose to the for-front during this time and began his reign of excellence. He fired Mike Sherman, effectively passing much of the blame.

He drafted AJ Hawk, Greg Jennings, Darryn Colledge, Jason Spitz, Tony Moll as starters from 1 draft. He signed Woodson and Pickett and improved the team by 4 wins in one off season. The rise of Thompsonism was beginning.

A group of Ted Thompson supporting apparatchiks began forming in internet communities with roots in Milwaukee, Greenbay and Madison. Some fans begin to question the direction of the team and with every question, it becomes more and more real that Thompson is embedded in the hearts of many fans but more importantly, John Jones. Ted Thompson has effectively gained power and there is absolutely nothing that any 1 fan or group of fans can do. The Packers are Thompsons toy and you all are along for the ride.

Welcome to Ted Thompsonism. Welcome to the beginning of the end of any power you thought you had. Hitch your wagon now or Esoxx' fate will fall on you :twisted:

[The Leaper]

Like most good dictatorships, Ted Thompson gained his power by taking over during a time of hardship. The Packers, lead by Mike Sherman, endured 12 losses in one season.

Just one problem...

Thompson came on board PRIOR to the 4-12 season...following several consecutive seasons of reaching the playoffs and winning the division.

So, the team was hardly in a time of hardship when Thompson took over...although the lack of young talent was certainly a bad moon rising.

[RashanGary]

I said Thompson gained his power. By gaining power I meant that he had the power to do whatever whenever with seemingly no consequence by passing blame on Sherman much like Hitler did with the Jews.

Watch your step Leaper, KGB just got his new perscription card from the newly state-run health care system and his first order of buisness is free Viagra. Your itchin for a stichin and you don't want needles and thread where KGB is a-fixin.

[RashanGary]

You may have me on a technicality Leaper but we will have none of that here :) Fortunatly it is a state controlled media and I can change my post to better reflect the states intent.

Ditto

The facts will state the Ted Thompson took over a 10-6 squad and turned them into a 4-12 squad during his first year of terror.

Now he's spent another year trying to get us back to where the Sherminator had us at :lol:

C'mon, B, you know you want to join. :twisted: :wink: :twisted:

[Packnut]

Every club has some kind of membership initiation. I got one for you guys. Sit down and watch 3 games from last season a few times. The first Bears game, The Pats game, and the Jets game. After that, compare them with any 3 home games in the same season from any year in the 70's and 80's.

Then after that, watch the Oakland Monday night game that was played right after Brett's father passed. Watch the CLINIC put on by Javon Walker a few times. Then look at the numbers for the contract he signed that Teddy would'nt give him. Compare that contract to what the current market of clowns just signed for. Then explain how giving Walker away for a second was a good move for the organization when the Pats got a FIRST for Branch.

Then after that, come back and explain to all us fools about what a genious Thompson is. If you guys choose to live in fantasy land, I suggest you pick a fantasy that has hot naked woman who cater to your every desire. That would seem one helluva lot more plausible then this one you've built with Thompson.........

[Packnut]

Oh yeah, one more thing. You guys don't have to worry about your membership exploding any time in the near future. Hell, you would'nt have enough members to fill Fuzzy's place! :lol:

[RashanGary]

Squirm Packnut. You are powerless to the Thompson Regime and it burns you. It burns you deep :) :) :) :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :) :) :)

[The Shadow]

".....Then after that, watch the Oakland Monday night game that was played right after Brett's father passed."

Hmmm. So the key to a successful Packer season is dead Favre relatives.
How many cousins does he have?

[The Shadow]

1. Then after that, come back and explain to all us fools about what a genious Thompson is.
2. If you guys choose to live in fantasy land, I suggest you pick a fantasy that has hot naked woman who cater to your every desire. That would seem one helluva lot more plausible then this one you've built with Thompson.........

1. We've done that many times. You just aren't listening & comprehending.
2. Do your innermost thoughts often combine Ted Thompson and sex?

And: Do you believe that if your blind & hysterical anti-Ted ravings somehow actually influence the Packers to fire Thompson you earn 72 virgins in Paradise?

[LL2]

Kinda wish I wouldn't have entered this thread. What else does your club do for fun? Never mind, don't answer that.

[BallHawk]

What else does your club do for fun?
We prepare ourselves to be transported to heaven where Ted Thompson will be the supreme ruler of us all.

:wink:

[The Shadow]

Hmmmmm. "fill Fuzzy's place".
Freud would have some interesting work to do with you.

No. I want every member of this club to be forced to watch the second game Vs the Vikings last season. . . . ten times.

Now . . . that was Ted Thompson pain.

[The Shadow]

Growth does not occur without pain.
Suffering through the bumps and bruises of a young team
learning is, alas, necessary.
The Packers are clearly a team on the rise; I'd much rather
have that than the 'try-to-patch-the-team-together' approach
of the post-Super Bowl years.

[Spaulding]

Naming this club a ship name I think would have been more appropriate (i.e. the Titantic, the Hindenberg, the Bismark, etc.). That way if it does down in flames it would become famous.

Then again it could be a pirate ship and anybody not on the TT bandwagon could be made to walk the plank. Depending on this season though it might be doing some of us a favor :)

I'm still a semi crew member until I see the product on the field this year but I won't hesitate to mutiny if we suffer another few home blowouts or flatline or regress from last year.

Shiver me timbers - Arggggggggggh

[Joemailman]

It would be more appropriate to name the Packers after the USS Enterprise. The Enterprise was away at sea during the attack on Pearl Harbor, arriving too late to prevent the attack. However, one year later, the Enterprise was instrumental in the pivotal Battle Of Midway. Planes from the Enterprise sunk the Japanese carrier Akagi, which had been the flagship during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Revenge will be ours! :smack: :cow:

Possibly the "Tedtanic?"

[Terry]

Now he's spent another year trying to get us back to where the Sherminator had us at
What?, you mean losing to the Vikings in Lambeau field in a wildcard game?

Such lofty goals!

[MadtownPacker]

He said Tedtanic, hehehe.

I won't be booking a trip yet but I will be a stowaway ready to jump out when we reach the new world.

[woodbuck27]

These are the Tedtanic years of our lives.

[RashanGary]

I don't know if anyone picked up on the humor of the thread but the main attack on Thompson supporters is "blind loyalist".

I was on dictionary.com looking up a word at work when I saw the word of the day "apparatchik". I like to look at the word of the day whenever I'm on there, I'm a bit of a nerd that way and the definition on that particular day was "Apparatchik - A blind follower"

I thought it was the perfect oppertunity to embrase the "blind follower" title and start a whole party of blind followers. The word "apparatchik" has Russian communist ties so I tried to bring some of that into the thread too. I was hoping people would look up the word and laugh. Guess not :)

Did we get to a wild card game the past two years ? I was just pointing out the facts; not saying I'm on or off the Polar Bear Express but he's too dam slow IMO

[Little Whiskey]

with the words "Packeratchik Party" in the title i thought bretsky's girls with painted shirts were going to make a showing. instead all we got was grossman going for a KGB ride......too bad. wasted a good title
