T.T. calls another press conference... INTERESTING THEORIES.

[Bretsky]

First reason Fergie has no value is he's a Fraud as a football player
Second reason Fergie has no value is he makes way way way too much $$$$

Any team stuipid enough to carry a roster spot for him for the past two years and this year would rather wait til he's cut as opposed to take on that salary.

[CaliforniaCheez]

Ferguson's salary is believed to be in the range of 1.8 million dollars.

Last year he cuaght 5 passes for 31 yards. $60K a yard if he does it this year. $300K/catch is good money.

No one will pay that kind of money and give up something in trade for the right to do so.

Likewise Bubba is untradeable. 25 catches for 232 yards. Rookies can do that for less than 1.4 million dollars. Why trade a pick for that burden?

[BooHoo]

Let's step up to the plate and make the hard and correct decision to remove Fergie from the team. Time to move on.

People have been saying that for 3 years now. It hasn't worked so far...

Last year cutting Fergie was cap neutral. Meaning it cost the same to keep him or cut him.

This year the Packers gain cap room by cutting Ferguson. They should take the whole cut this season and not stretch it over into next year.

Oh, I'm not disagreeing, I've been absolutely astounded at how long he's managed to cling on here. I really think that Donovin Darius's running lariat tackle that put him out of commission for however long that was definitively ended his career.

[Joemailman]

He is going to announce that Robert Ferfuson is being given a 13 million dollar contract extension.

You should be drawn and quartered for that comment.

Actually, I was baiting Bretsky. I think he's starting to ignore me.

LOL; yes, I felt the bait, and it brought a laugh on. I've noticed you have also been having Turtleite tendencies here and there too. Are you baiting me with that too or are those real

[the_idle_threat]

I wonder if the conference was called to announce an agreement that had been reached to trade Fergie, and then the other team (Houston?) came to its senses and backed out at the last minute, realizing that they were bidding against themselves. Would make sense given the Ferguson news that came out later in the day.

[Iron Mike]

In my dreams, he reports that we have completed a trade sending Dendy, Herron, and Manual to the Bears for one voucher for a free deep dish style pizza at Uno's Pizzeria.

Uno's? It'll take a deep dish from Lou Malnati's or Giordano's to say it's a good deal.

I'll go on record as wanting an Al's Original Italian Beef.

[woodbuck27]

It will be nothing.


"I like the players we have now."

"We will be competitive."

"We keep our options open."

"We like ____________(insert player name) he has a chance to be a very good football player."

"We are working hard on that all the time."

Any other questions?? These answers are always ready.

How did the predicted compare??

"Cullen has been a good football player here for a long time. I was glad to see him have success, ... we're really, really happy to have him."

"Mike and I talk about every position all the time, and for now we're OK."

"We're constantly going through different combinations of players and looking at the board and seeing how it looks, and doing it again. But there's not that many decisions already made."

"We'll see how it plays out. He's a football guy. He can catch the ball, he's got good toughness. We thought he and Ryan (Powdrell) both played very well the other night. We'll see how it works itself out, but he's doing fine."

"Yeah, we think we have some talent at returns, and I thought the other night we did OK."

"We think we have a few guys, and we're looking forward to seeing how that plays itself out."

I did not hear the we will be competitive line unless you include "doing okay" but everything else was standard Ted verbage.

Why get excited??

Anyone see a contradiction here?

If you're obsessed with finding one, you could probably read whatever you want into it.

That would have been cool!

Does Shermie really exert that much influence down there?

A franchise listen to the OC?

I don't know for sure, but it would explain all the ex-Pakers on their roster.

I never confuse the word observation and it's merits with the word obsession Scott.

Between gentleman. . . .

Should any member here regarding this issue for or against our observed GM take it to the personal level?

I TRUST this in my observations:

Ted Thompson isn't worth it.
