Good Job Thompson....It Only Took 4 Years.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

The Jets have made some changes to their O-line this year, from what I understand, every guy on the line was a former 1st round pick. While I understand that being a first round pick does not mean shit (Justin Harrell anyone?), the Jets have shown that they are very enthusiastic about protecting their QB. Unlike Thompsons cheap ass, they even used free agency.

(by the way JH, take a look at what that "Favre-Hater" Rod Woodson has on his chin. Looks like a nut-warmer. You should think about getting one for you and ted. )

Maybe they dont have those guys in camp yet?? hmmmm

You shouldn't post if you don't know the facts...the jets added Faneca and Damien Woody.

Their line isn't even close to last years.

Re: Good Job Thompson....It Only Took 4 Years.

Henderson was a workout warrior, who counted every calorie, and every carb.

So does Richard Simmons. You want him playing fullback?

The future, future, future stuff is nonsense. The future became the present last year when Thompson's misguided plan took them to the NFC Championship Game.

I'm a PONY! I'm a PONY!!!

First of all, I would like to thank you for keeping your response respectfull, and also thank anyone else who has posted to this thread with any kind of dignity or respect. Lately, if I post something, I like to let the thread go by itself for a while, to let all the smart/dumb-asses get in their attempts to be witty. If the thread dies before I get back to it, so be it. I just like to express my opinions in the hopes of hearing from others that share my views.

People treat you like they do because you're an ass triscuit. You have no respect for anything or anyone and yet expect everyone else to respect your idiotic, mentally stunted views. Beyond that, you never have any truthful basis behind your posts. When someone takes the time to disprove one of your fucking retarded posts, you don't reply, you slink away for a couple days then come back and post the same stupid vomit. Fuck yourself in the eye socket and die. Is that respectful enough for you little pud licker?

Am I to assume that he is not the new low-fat triscuit?

I'm used to it by now. Besides, there only seems to be about 5 or 6 guys in here who go around bashing any poster they dislike or disagree with. I'm sure that it makes them feel better to think that they share/have the opinion of the majority.


Guilty, I just dont like you. I really dont like people who post for reaction and you've been making the same post since you got here, just worded slightly different. If you cant say something new, stop saying anything at all?

I disagree with quite a few people at this site, but you're really the only one so persistantly stupid that you have to be Tank reincarnated. You dont want to debate, you dont want to discuss. You want people to react to your over the top posting.

You get what you ask for so dont try to play martyr.

Well, at least I have an opinion. Unlike assclowns like you and skinflute! You fucking cunts spend all your time in these forums cutting down everyone elses posts/opinions. How fucking pathetic are you? This is a forum bitch. If I want to share my views or opinions, I am entitled. So don't fucking tell me what to post or what not to post. If you don't like what I post, go fuck yourself..........or that other little cunt Skinflute, seems like the two of you spend a lot of time sucking each others dicks anyway.

If you dont like me, thats fine, I think that your a fucking cunt yourself. Here's a question for ya jerk-off...........What exactly do you "Moderate" around here? Fucking Loser!

We aren't telling you not to post. We're just telling you you're a silly asshole. A view that's strongly reinforced by your most recent post. Now suck it up and stop acting like a little girl.

Re: Good Job Thompson....It Only Took 4 Years.

Wow, I am impressed!!! From the time that Thompson came to GB and started to "not rebuild", it only took him four years to put a qualified O-line in front of Brett Favre............in fucking New York.

From day one with Thompson, it has always been about the future. Don't worry Packer Fans, because in the future.........


Face it, Thompson came into GB with an agenda, and I must admit, that he has done a good job doing what it is that he has come here to do. The team is young, the salary cap is in great shape. The older players are all gone. I doubt that you will ever see anyone retire in GB.......Thompson is not afraid to let any player go, no matter what their history has been with the team.

When I used to root for the Packers, when I cheered them on, I wasn't just cheering on the team, but also for the character of the players, and how hard they struggled to become the best that they could be. I cheered the Packers because of the pride that I felt, just in being a fan of such a great team.

Now, it is apparent that it's all business in GB. Any player can be cut or traded at any time. I was shocked when Henderson was cut with one year left on his contract. I thought that Henderson of all players would have deserved a retirement ceremony at the end of his contract. He had served the Packers proudly. Nevermind his age, he was in great shape when Thompson cut him. Henderson was a workout warrior, who counted every calorie, and every carb. Yet, as with Brett Favre, Henderson was sent Packing by Thompson, who claimed that he wished that someone else could sign the trade papers for Favre. I don't buy it for a second, and will always believe that getting rid of Brett Favre was always part of Thompsons agenda from the start.

I love the Packers, but it's hard to get excited about rooting for a business instead of a team.

It is more than Favre, Henderson, Na'il Diggs, Wahle, and Sharper.

I can be a bit cold and heartless on an internet message board but telling a guy like William Henderson or Brett Favre face to face that they aren't wanted is very cold. Sure the assistant coaches really have to do it but as a GM I would feel badly about it.

Telling lies to the press about players I couldn't live with myself.

This treatment of Brett Favre has shaken my fanhood a great deal. Not since the 1982 strike have I felt as apathetic about the upcoming NFL season.

I disliked Ted when he gave Sherman a contract extension and then fired the whole coaching staff and dismantled the team. His draft picks and rebuilding the team made me hopeful. Now I just don't know.

Hopefully I will have hope and enjoy the MNF game. If it goes badly my lifetime fandom of the Packers could take a serious hit. There might be other things I do on Sunday afternoons. Do I really want to spend that much money watching the Packers on television?

I haven't been to Green Bay in a few years and no one will really notice if some guy in California stops logging in to various websites. Will the Packer fans at the sportsbar care?

I hate what this has done to me.

Yeah, dude, I miss the good ol' days, too. 'Member when Mike Holmgrean cut Sterling Sharpe suddenly? Or when we used to cheer on Mossy Cade? Or when they traded Tobin Rote to Detroit? Or when they axed Gilbert Brown? How about when they traded James Lofton? Remember that?

Dang. I miss those days. It's so different now. Sigh.

Nope just you actually. And its true you can say what you want, but guess what shit stabber, I can too. Its just that your opinions amount to a pile of worm piss and as I've stated, you've got the brain to body fat quotient a plastic surgeons liposuction trash can.

Fucktards like you is who I moderate. Luckily most people here are normal upstanding humans. You on the other hand are like a Tennessee Ernie Ford record skipping for eternity. Keep trying though.

[Fritz]

Hey, I liked Tennessee Ernie Ford. Made great sausage commercials back in the day.

As for the Jets' o-line being better...Damien Woody was overweight and undermotivated the whole time he was in Detroit, until the last half of the last year, when he realized he was playing for a contract. Then he suddenly became interested. I believe this is why New England let him go in the first place.

Now he's got a big, new contract. I wonder how he'll play?

'

Overweight? How can you tell...he is a lineman. When he was injured he did balloon up..but, he lost that weight by going to the duke program..hardly someone who is unmotivated..and playing at 335.

Undermotivated? again, how can you tell. I say the opposite..he lost his starting position at guard, was inactive for a couple of games and worked his way into the starting lineup at RT. That hardly sounds like someone is unmotivated.

The facts are this..he started for two Superbowl winning teams. He started 76 games with the Pats and was considered the anchor of the line.

He was a pro bowler in 02 and alternate in 04. He started every game 04 and 05 before and injury sidelined him in 06.

He is versatile and has played every position on the line cept for LT.

At worst he is an above average lineman.

I am there with you Cheez. I understand why Thompson got rid of Favre, he had worn us all out with the "will he won't he" crap, and barring a multi year commitment this was understandable.

However, I also think it did validate that there is more to Ted Thompson than meets the eye. There are some things going on that I have never approved of... Some would say, "if that's the price of winning", and I would disagree.

Time will tell who Ted is, and I'll be watching. If it happens as I expect it will, I'll be getting my popcorn and watching who will mea-culpa and who won't.

In the meantime, I'll watch the Packers and hope the team I love continues as it has the past 16 years. But, this year, I think I'll also watch the J-E-T-S. If they get to the Super Bowl against my beloved Packers then I'll really enjoy the game, if they don't maybe I'll get to see that "Favre magic" a couple more times before it's gone forever.
