Why Ted Thompson ? WHY Support Ted Thompson ?

[mraynrand]

Your faith in the drafting talents of TT amaze me. He has done NOTHING to even give a glimmer of hope. If you think stock-piling high draft choices is the answer, then you don't have a clue. Several teams have gone that route with no success. A GM need's to be able to bring in the right FA's and mix them in with the youth and I'd say there has been enough evidence to point out that TT is lacking in player evaluation skills.

Sometimes when you're wrong, you're epically wrong. But this was five long years ago

Yeah but when you're wrong and you're an asshole about it, makes it a lot harder for everyone to forget. Especially when you continue to be an asshole after being proven wrong.

Good of you to admit when you're wrong Woody, but this is what people do on internet forums. Don't take it personal. Posters serve other posters biggie sized portions of crow every day. Here especially. You weren't the first, and you certainly won't be the last. It's just the nature of being an internet forum. Especially this one.

If you have the time and the drive to do so, why don't you just get him back? Dig through his post history, find something to make him eat crow for. Bump it. Give him a dose of his own medicine. We'll laugh at him too. Difference is, I'll bet he has thick enough skin to take it. He'd probably laugh at himself right along with us. It wouldn't bother him. That's my advice to you Woody. Laugh at yourself and move on. Don't let it bother you either.

Your bang on Gunakor. I have no problem with any poster disagreeing with my stances. Where I get testy is when I'm flamed and cannot resort to any reasonable defene of my personality, nationality and character without getting threatened by the mob. My history with SC goes way back. We've crossed swords several times and I was able to defend myself with dignity; but that detracts from the overall good atmosphere that should describe Packerrats in a healthy sense.

When is an attack too much?

For me to have to ignore any poster here is a detraction of the decent person I know I am. What happened to the concept of decency and mutual understanding without bashing and unseemly threats?

I awoke this morning and looked at this thread in a positive light. I see in it an opportunity to really examine the progress we've seen having TT as our teams GM. It took time but that man deserves so much credit. I once believed he'd never get there. Mabe that's my impatience and lack of fairness in terms of foresight. I was in the anti-Ted Thompson camp. I felt the tension that had to exist between TT and Brett Favre when he played so well for us in the end and got moved.

I've moved on. I'm fully on board with Aaron Rodgers now and actually am amazed at his awesome skills and killer QB qualites. I fully believe in Ted Thompson.

If posters here feel it's necessary to remind me of past stances or make me eat crow. I will only shake my head. Where I come from it's OK to be wrong and if any of those posters are always right I'd challenge them to try to take me down in an NFL skills competition and I'd warn them that their work will be cut out for them.

I know who I am. That's got a lot more to do with GOOD than BAD !

All's well that ends well. That's what I want for ' all posters ' here at PackerRats. Noone should have to place another on any IGNORE LIST; yet, it's suitably required when tensions are at the highest. When threads have reached the point of ridiculous. Required to protect PackerRats even at the sacrifice of a posters pride to defend.

I've always successfully defended myself Gunakor. I'm sorry if that piss's of ' the Flamer '. I'll NOT go away. I don't run from adversity, ever.

Those fellas will not remaine on my IGNORE LIST. Why can't we all better get along here? I still believe we can. We all just need to chill out a wee bit first. To allow time to simply. THINK.

GO GM TED THOMPSON and the GREEN BAY PACKERS !

[VegasPackFan]

Nope time changes some things man, then time cannot change some other thing. What a pity SC kicking up this thread now. A pathetic small man. So in that sense of understanding why this thread was resurrected... I'll defend still.

If I'm wrong I admit it and I move forward. What I posted back then I believed just as what I post today. It's called integrity where I come from.

Today I am a huge Ted Thompson fan, as I deserve to be as a Packer Fan of over 50 years.

GO TED THOMPSON !

It's all good, I actually thought it was funny.

[woodbuck27]

It's all good, I actually thought it was funny.

Yea. (-: PEACE OUT! Packer Fan. There's the bottom line. We all want the best for OUR beloved Packers. Like any society PackerRats has a multiple personalty disorder at times.

Long live our Packer HOME ! PackerRats.

[Pugger]

Come on guys, let's not turn this place into the now extinct Sportsbubbler.

[rbaloha1]

My goodness -- the Packers win a super bowl and in position for more.

Chill out and enjoy the ride.

[Scott Campbell]

That's about the only thing I miss. 3 things really stuck out about him:

1) He was wrong about basically everything.
2) He was incredibly smug.
3) As soon as it was obvious how wrong he was he disappeared mysteriously.

ând you SC are one certain trouble maker. You have that need ..to do all you can to incite 'just that' TROUBLE. Why would you feel the need to kick up a thread I started some five seasons ago.. . .at this time Scott? Are you (were you??) that desperate to kick me to the ground. Why NOT just let go man.

You and I must both go on one anothers IGNORE LISTS as this is the 'ONLY ' solution RE: you and I and that's because of you Scott. Here is that PROOF.

I have to place you on the ignore list and you will go on trying your very best to smear me here behind my back. I try my damnest to be a good and very positive poster here and you get off with this CRAP. Ever hear of stalking Scott? In Canada it's against the law.

How do I ignore you and this CRAP Scott? Do I allow you to post this obvious attempt to trash me. I'm on record now of fully supporting Ted Thompson and also you damn well know my disappointment in Brett Favre's behaviour RE: the smear campaign involving that chick fr. NY City. ... the telephone sex thingy.

STOP YOUR SMEARS Vs ME SCOTT. Finally I must post this:

Scott Campbell....ahh - - - - - - - !! Well you know and that's NOT proceeded with any PLEASE. Get off your personal vendetta Vs me PLEASE.

GO TED THOMPSON !

Helpful hint: If you read a little more carefully, you'll note that PB and I were talking about Packnut - not you.


But thanks for the hilariously misguided rant!

[Scott Campbell]

We've crossed swords several times and I was able to defend myself with dignity...................

I must have missed that.

Seriously, I've seen monkeys at the zoo flinging poop with more dignity.

[Scott Campbell]

Unseemly threats????

[Scott Campbell]

If posters here feel it's necessary to remind me of past stances or make me eat crow. I will only shake my head.

...........and then go off the deep end with another 50 wild eyed crazy ass rants that read like the Unibomber's Manifesto.

[Scott Campbell]

Those fellas will not remaine on my IGNORE LIST. Why can't we all better get along here? I still believe we can. We all just need to chill out a wee bit first.

I guess not all of us have ice water running through their veins like you do.

[Fritz]

Can't we all just get along?

[Scott Campbell]

I have to place you on the ignore list and you will go on trying your very best to smear me here behind my back.

You would think I could find a little less public place to go behind your back like that.

[Scott Campbell]

If I'm wrong I admit it and I move forward. What I posted back then I believed just as what I post today. It's called integrity where I come from.

It's called acting like a demented old circus monkey where I'm from.
