Ted Thompson and Packers officials out of line in the dome?

There's a rule that you aren't allowed to cheer in the press box, but that hasn't stopped any of the Packers official seated behind me, especially General Manager Ted Thompson, from cheering all of the second half. Thompson is now to the point where he's clapping after each play. It's not a good scene.


So, were they out of line. You are not allowed to cheer for your team? Strange.

It makes sense that the press (who's supposed to be unbiased) wouldn't cheer, but team officials are clearly biased towards their team and they have every reason to cheer.

Possibly we just need another box.

He might be passive/aggressively rubbing it in their faces for writing shit stories when they had no clue what they were talking about

They aren't, but Bedard needs to lighten up. He should be more concerned about doing his own job and not worrying about what is happening around him in the press box.

Please watch your fucking language. I happen to like figs a lot.

As far as TT cheering - I actually can't picture it. He is so reserved, I can only picture him smiling for a moment after a good play.

What kind of a pansy is too scared to say something at the moment and then complains about it to the general public after the game.

I still think he was rubbing it in as if to say "how do you like me now"

I know after the crap that they wrote and way they treated him in some of his press conferences that he should feel a little resentment. I would anyway.

Except the game was in question almost until the end....actually until the end.

Anyway, do you really think TT gives a good GD what anyone writes? I've never gotten that impression. Plus, there was nothing that was written that I'd consider BB material....other than Pat Williams calling Scott Wells Dawn Wells, which I thought was funny as hell.

That's not what I meant. I was talking about the Milwaukee and GB writers ripping the hell out of TT at a few press conferences and interviews and then doing it in the papers. He might have been letting out a little frustration by cheering on the team he built and they doubted.

Ah, sorry.

I guess I'll leave this thread now because I have no clue what went into it.

Figs or Frigs - it dont matter to me..

Enough of that crap where these guys will now criticize TT for actually WINNING. You have got to be kidding me! Now TT is a bad GM because of the way he reacts to his success?

Kiss my @ss, writers.......

If they don't like TT's cheering, maybe TT ought to head down to the field...

Can you imagine TT at Lambeau in December with a big "G" painted on his bare chest?

Yeah, I'm sure the EC Gals would love that. :P

At this point - and it's still early - I'm not overwhelmed by this Bedard or Gerard or whatever his name is. You know, that new writer guy.

When Jones caught that late TD pass, Bedard's blog headline read something like "Jones' TD catch should Do It." Hasn't this guy been around football long enough to know better?

And then TT, who gets criticized for being inhumanly unemotional, now gets ripped for cheering his team. Hmm. I remember Ron Wolf getting pretty evocative in his box back in the day.

Maybe the new guy feels the need to prove how tough he is, I don't know.

[BallHawk]

Yeah, Bedard has not impressed me so far. Sounds like a few people here could do a better job than him.
