Does anybody know where I can get a Ted Thompson Jersey?

[woodbuck27]

I totally wish that i though of this idea first!! Great!!

sidenote: does woody hate the fact that we're 9-1? He seems to be one giant posting (rather than walking, of course) oxymoron.

How could any Packer fan much less a Packer fan of nearly 50 year's hate the fact we are now 10-1?

Just the mere thought that any Packer fan could get there isn't even mildly retarded.

What is worse!!

It's just simoly ridiculous that anyone would even suggest such a possibility.

I'll have to suggest a study on this topic to The American Psychiatric Association.

......side hurts.........please stop.........

Top notch thread!

I'd WEAR A BEAR'S JERSEY BEFORE I'D WEAR ANYTHING LABELED TED THOMPSON.

Call yourself a Packers fan? Shame, shame, shame.

If I was an Irish Catholic. Would I enter the Orange Parade as a drummer?

So you're saying there's a chance? Yes!!!

Finding a TT jersey is hard and requires work and patience to discover one. They are new, but don't cost that much.

On the other hand there are several "classic" jerseys of formerly average players you should buy instead. They cost more but have better name recognition. Otherwise you can always buy a used, broken down jersey. Also expensive and prone to fall apart at any moment.

I can never get enough of the hypocrisy here. Anyone want to go out on a limb and say they wanted KGB cut after last year? Or perhaps go out on a limb and say that Justin Harrell was a horrible pick? Or that you were one of the billion people who wanted Bigby cut after the Steelers pre-season game? Didn't think so. Remember that everyone is entitled to their opinions and just because you disagree with them doesn't mean they are wrong and you are right. I have my reasons for not liking Ted Thompson, they are called 2005 & 2006 for reason stoo many to mention, 2 out of our 3 first round picks which only one of which is a contributor, and poor perception of veteran leadership. He had many opportunities to avoid 4-12 and 8-8. Just because we are 10-1 is no reason to go crowning him king. Take out Brett Favre and show me 10-1. Thompson tried to run him off and now looks like a genius because he is playing lights out. Of course, no one would ever admit that because they are too busy burying their hypocrisy, ala the KGB question. I can name numerous players that people wanted cut but now are singing praises for. Funny how winning makes everyone go "doh" when it comes to judging players and decisions.

So go ahead and get your childlike digs in. Go ahead and call me stupid for stating the obvious. Go ahead and be the bias homers you are. But at the end of the day, it isn't me flip-flopping all around on issues. Look in the mirror before you go bashing someone for their opinion, or are you closet Abdul Hodge (you know the guy who was going to take Barnett's job away) apologists going to finally admit that you jump on whatever bandwagon is popular, including the "bash Merlin" wagon? Meh, didn't think so. Reality sucks for those who don't live in it.

[Tarlam!]

What a hostile post, Merlin.

Why on earth don't you share more wisdom, like how you know TT tried to run Favre out of town, with us?

I remain a big fan of Hodge. I also stand by wanting to cut KGB at a time when the salary cap was way lower than today. Now, he is paid about right, IMHO.

The Germans have a saying that I think applies to you, Merlin. They say "As you speak into the forest, the forest speaks back to you".

I have noted you shouting into the forest, Merlin. Why are you so surprised at having the forest shout back?

[BF4MVP]

Take out Brett Favre and show me 10-1.

Classic

News flash..Favre is our best player. If you take out the best player on any team, said team is not going to be as good.

Where's the ignore list when you need it?

[cpk1994]

Thanks for your comedy again today, Merlin. Your insane ramblings always cheer me up as TT continues to make you look like the idiot you are.

I found this on NFL.com. $200, but worth every penny!

That must be that special Woody Harrelson Edition Vince.

Thanks for taking the ribbing in stride Woody. That says a lot about you.

Are you honestly still drinking Summer Shandy in late November?

[packrat]

Merlin, haven't you figured out that 2005 and 2006 were the price TT paid to get to 2007? Where would we be today if TT had stuck with Sherman and what the salary cap let us keep of Sherman's choice of personnel? I'd trade 2005 and 2006 as the price for 2007 anytime, rather than for three years of limping into the playoffs only to be booted embarrassingly in the first round and a future that promised more of the same, or even less.

It's not hypocritical for a fan to change his opinion when the facts prove him wrong--its intelligent. What is hypocritical is to pretend to not see success when it is slapping you in the face.

[MJZiggy]

If you look up 'futility' in the dictionary, you'll find this thread and many others like it...

But since I can't resist, Merlin, could you please tell my why since TT was trying to run Favre out of town, did he not accept his retirement the first two times he tried to give it? If what you say is true, he had him gone. All he had to do was say ok and he's off the hook as it would have been Favre's decision and not TT's so why didn't he just leave it at that? Why did he and McCarthy go to Miss to see him in 2006? And if you're gonna ask me why TT didn't get him any weapons, take a look at this team. Maybe people are changing their opinions about players because they turned out to be better players than people expected. I'm still trying to find the problem with that...

Well, can we at least crown him GM then? I mean, since everything he stuck his neck out for seems to be paying off in his third year, how about we at least crown him a good GM? I suggest we do it now before the league decides to name him executive of the year or something, because that would mean everything we've done to praise TT and admit our errors in judgment about him would only be due to the media's sudden embracing of him - not because of what we've seen with our own eyes.

Do the math, Old Noble Wizard: 4-12 to 8-8 to 10-1 (and counting) equals progress. Improvement. He trusted in his vision, he fought to make it happen and now everyone can see what he was striving for.

But then again maybe its all just luck.
