Ryan Grant? WTF TT?

[The Shadow]

That said, I miss his honesty. While Thompson is a better player talent evaluator, he's a lying prick. You can't believe anything that comes out of his mouth.

Ron Wolf also lied all the time, in GM circles he was famous for being one of the biggest liars of all time when it comes to players he's interested in, players he's not interested in, negotiations, or the draft. On a Packer pregame show a while back, the announcers were actually lamenting that Thompson didn't lie as much as Wolf did. If you ask Thompson about trading for a player from another team, Thompson will give you an honest answer of "I don't talk about players on other teams" while Wolf would just out and out lie to you and then do the opposite of whatever he just said at his earliest opportunity.

We don't mind this about Ron Wolf and we remember him fondly because he won. At the same time we look to find fault in TT because he's done some things we don't like, and even though it's the same faults that were worse in a guy that held the job before him, we lambast Thompson. At the same time, even though Sherman was a wretched GM we can at least play the "at least he was a good guy" card. I don't care if Thompson points and laughs at cripples, sends mean letters to orphans, or really hates kittens so long as he wins.

Lurker, I applaud you for great insight.
Well done; keep em coming.

If anyone ever has a question as to whether or not a person is inherantly good or evil, please PM me. I will be happy to peer into the soul of anyone in question and give you the answers that have, until this point, been unable to be determined by man kind.

I'm typically a pretty modest person but the reality is that I am god in human form. Please, don't refer to me as god, it's ebarassing and I'm not on some power trip about it. It's just who I am, so I have to deal with all of the responsiblity that goes with it.

Mike Sherman
Retail guy (I hope I spelled it right, man. I don't want you to spend an eternitiy in hell because of a clerical error)

No room on Sherm's fluffy cloud for a silver haired lying prick?

Yeah, that's a fat joke, but I'm damned to hell anyways.

Crap. I'm stuck with eternal damnation.

On the bright side, at least there weren't any Bears or their fans that made it. So I guess the cup is half full.

Lurker. I simply disagree. Arizona has been inept for years and still signs free agents. Some lies don't have to be told. They simply don't.

We'll see if they bring success.

Ummm Arizona has had a very difficult time up until the past 3-4 years signing free agents because they were historically bad. Same with Cinncinatti. Things are starting to look up there because they have had great DRAFT PICKS in Matt Leinart, Larry Fitz, Anquan Boldin, etc.

That's just about the poorest example. Your views on TT lieing are pretty dumb in my opinion because you never, ever tell your young guys and HOF qb that you're rebuilding.

...don't know if this is old news but here's what Ryan Grant cost the Pack (from the Green Bay Press-Gazette):

The Giants acquired a 2008 sixth-round pick in the trade that sent Ryan Grant to Green Bay over the weekend.

The pick is unconditional, so New York keeps it whether or not Grant plays a down for Green Bay. Grant will be the Packers' No. 3 back on Sunday, behind Brandon Jackson and DeShawn Wynn, if Vernand Morency (knee) sits out.
