    Marquand Manuel - a Thompson free agent bust -is DB coach in Atlanta. At the last scouting combine, Manuel openly questioned a prospect's sexual orientation ("Do you like men," asked Manuel, violating labor laws). Funny, cos Thompson not only "drafted" Manuel in Seattle, the Polar Bear also brought him to GB. It ain't a secret Ted is...

    The great Al Harris, a Sherman acquisition, is DB coach in KC. Not sure if Harris is still smokin' Mary Jane cos he's cut off his Bob Marley dreads.

      Actually, Marquand Manuel was one of Ted Thompsons many successful veteran free agent signings in both Seattle and GB.

        You sure you're not confusing Manuel with Charles Woodson?

        El Manuel lasted a mere 1 season in GB; was cut the next season. Successful? I think not. Wiki says Manuel did catch a pick-6 off Ahmad Carroll's deflection.

          He started all year for GB, which means he was a necessary addition for that season. Therefore, a successful signing.

          But I was more chiding you for your characterization of TT "drafting" him in Seattle. He was drafted by the Bengals, I think.

            My bad 'bout Ted drafting Manuel.

            Manuel started by default, cos, Ted failed to find a better player to replace the departed Darren Sharper. The guy was Hades-awful. 'Wood and the rest of the DBs couldn't trust him worth a lick.

                Collins replaced Sharper the year before.
                Sherman left such a mess that it took more than just a couple years to fix it.

                  Great to see Tank post something that is both wrong & stupid and make an asshole of himself.

                  Fortunately, Patler straightened him out.

                  Again.

                    One-hit wonder Andre Rison coaches high school in Michigan, as he struggles to pay or repay child support. A study shows that kids, especially African-American kids, who grow up fatherless are more likely to make it to the pros than kids with a father figure in their lives. "See y'all on draft day," Rison tells his baby mamas.

                    Mormon Ty Detmer used to coach high school futbol in Texas. He's now OC at BYU. Ty has how many wives? Polygamy was once hip in ancient times. Animals still practice it in the animal kingdom. Dunno 'bout y'all, but I wouldn't mind having a MILF wife to go along with a 20-something wife and an 18 year old wife.

                    Favre helped coach a southern Miss high school team to a state title a couple of or a few years back. Usually, I refer to Favre as the GOAT. After reading the Pearlman excerpt about how much of a douche Favre was, I am gonna need some time before I start calling him the GOAT again. I fuckin' wish jocks would all win/play with grace in their hearts and flowers in their hairs.

                    The legitimate king of the kingdom of Ghana, Charlie Peprah, currently scouts for the Pack under the guidance of the incompetent Polar Bear. Pep's grandfather was the late, beheaded King Ignatius Kutu Acheampong.

                      Manuel played 2 seasons in Seattle, starting 11 games. Would Ted Thompson have signed him? Didn't Ted primarily run the draft there?

                      Manuel started for the Packers in 2006 before being replaced by Atari Bigby in 2007.
                      I can't run no more
                      With that lawless crowd
                      While the killers in high places
                      Say their prayers out loud
                      But they've summoned, they've summoned up
                      A thundercloud

                        Thompson was VP of Football Operations in Seattle. It is routinely said that his responsibilities were to run the draft and advise Holmgren in all personnel decisions.

                          As I so often reminded y'all at the old JSO forums, so incompetent was Ted that on the day they demoted Holmgren, Seattle hired a basketball brass over Thompson.

                            That worked out well too.
                            Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                              You definitely got skills - bingo skills, numchuck skills, google skills. Unfortunately the gift certificate is redeemable only at Howard Johnson restaurants.
