[pbmax]

Under appreciated genius or just the face of Elliot Wolf's nightmares?

Russ Ball seen as GM, president material, but he's never been interviewed for either position by an NFL team.

Ball replaces Murphy.
Wolf replaces Thompson.

I have a feeling the Packers will fall into a slump after Thompson. I don't trust wolf.

There is some logic to that. But does the Exec Committee feel strongly about an internal guy who doesn't even lead his own department? And has never gotten an interview elsewhere?

Murphy was an in demand sport admin already.

I have misgivings myself. My biggest concerns are that he has no significant experience anywhere else, and he has had a one track career in GB. Maybe it will work out fantastically, but I think broader exposure and experience is better for preparing a person to adapt to a changing environment.

Ya, Murphy had an exceptional background; playing, working for the union, working for the league, being a trial lawyer, then working up the ranks of college athletic directorships. I'm not sure what could make anyone more prepared than Murphy was.

i know tt's still sharp...but watching/listening to his press conferences...he's really starting to seem...elderly. no? is it just me?

[pbmax]

Not just you. I've thought the same thing.

[Patler]

He seems to have gotten thin and a bit frail looking. Couple that with his slow, hesitating delivery and he seems older than he is.

How much does John Schneider make?

That guy Ball looks bad ass in the picture. Looks like someone in a Lombardi era football program. Murphy looks a little like Bruce Jenner.

You talkin to me????

I saw a picture of Ted the other day in his big hat, pale skin, and thin frame, and I thought we ought to nickname him The Thin White Duke.

Ted's retirement dream is probably to go back to scouting college players.

now I'm starting to wonder about the sharpness.
the decision to weaken an already dicey o-line situation is baffling.
