I think we need balance in the forum if were gonna start 2 of the same Farve bashing threads.

I liked this one......

Thompson has repeatedly misused and abused the power of his position. That alone is enough reason to fire him -- not to mention the other countless number of offensive and arrogant moves he's made. He actually let the public believe that Favre had contacted the Vikings on a Packer-issued phone when in fact there is no such thing as a Packer-issued phone. So I guess slander would be another legal reason to fire Thompson. He may have done some reasonable drafting, but that doesn't qualify him to be GM. Perhaps he should be demoted to recruiter it that's his supposed strength. Certainly his strength is not in people management or problem solving! He's taken the honor out of Green Bay and turned his back on the GBP's greatest asset -- Brett Favre. If the NFL business is winning, then how could any idiot make such a ridiculous decision? I wish my business issues were so difficult! He's an ego-sick, pathetic excuse for the GBP "leader." Nothing says self-important like the name Ted Thompson

Here is another good one:

Congratulations Ted Thompson --Green Bay is now irrelevant to the rest of the nation again. Although the Packers fans will continue to be loyal and rabid, the only reason the rest of the country had any interest in you for the past 15 years wore number 4 and played with a youthful enthusiasm that was refreshing and entertaining. It is apparent that you have wanted him to be gone for the past 3 or 4 years. Viewing the way the coach interacted with him on the sidelines, it appeared that he was tolerating him rather than enjoying coaching him. I believe he retired in the first place because GB made it clear by their actions that he was not really welcome to continue on (remember the "accidental" retirement release on the GB website).
I know it is a business but it still seems morally wrong for GB to not give him his outright release when they no longer wanted him. It would seem that the NFL vets of over 10 years should have some veto power over which teams to which they could be dealt so that they could at least have the opportunity to try to catch on with a contender when their current employer no longer wants them.

I'll find good snippets and articles that outright and slightly backhanded bash him and update this periodically.

gex, you are welcome to predict your quotes in my thread. There is room for all viewpoints predicting what Brett is going to want to talk about. The point is to do it in Favre style. The side of the Brett debate doesn't matter, its how well do you know the guy.

[sheepshead]

He's a better GM than McCarthy is a HC at this point. I dont think there's any question about that.
So top 10? Heck yeah.

Or maybe where people go who don't think he's doing a great job? Ya know like the under .500 record, missing the playoffs 3 of 4 seasons, firing our whole defensive staff already, coming off a 6-10 record.... Ya know stuff like that... Factual things....

Favre was paid good money in return for those rights. I didn't see Favre offering any refunds when he asked for his outright release. If you have a problem with his contract, I suggest you take it up with Bus Cook.

Ted Thompson is building a franchise from top to bottom that can contend every year.
A single player should not be able to dictate to a team. Favre simply ran into a stonger guy who had the guts to say no to him.
Brett Favre or Ted Thompson?
I'd rather have Ted - every time.

People still do internet petitions? They haven't realized that an online petition has never accomplished anything ever?

If people really, sincerely think that Ted Thompson should be fired, buy a stamp and send a letter to Mark Murphy explaining your reasons. That's going to be a million times more effective than signing an online petition anonymously.

That's a nice memento, but Ted's got the job, and Brett is just out looking.

We'll see who gets the last laugh, most likely...

Really? Brett most certainly does not have more rings.

My god, you must work hard to be this dumb. It can't all be natural ability.

There is a group of pretty outstanding coaches that joined our team this offseason. Coaches with a history of success. Take Trgovac for example - why would he leave a DC position @ Carolina for a position job here in Green Bay if he didn't think this team had a real chance at success? Plus, we still have a whole bunch of prime time games - so the media still considers us relevant as well. I don't think Green Bay is as irrelevant to the rest of the nation as you do.
