Q&A session with Ted Thompson

Sorry to hear that Bozz.

Have you tried, Bean-O? :shock:

Good post.

Best post ever!

I will judge Ted when he does something one way or another. Thus far he has put together a 4-12 losing season, a mediocre 8-8 campaign, and thus far a steller good season. I don't pretend to know the future.

He is what he is but he is going to have to get this team a SB ring before I would even think about singing his praises. Winning seasons are easy with Brett, building a SB team is a little harder, doing it without him is what is going to define his legacy.

Maybe it was 60/40 Longtime.

I know that it was a good amount at the time.

There was definitely more of that sentiment outside this forum. I'll give you that.

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

60\40!

What's the term for this? Revisionist history?

60\40! Hahahahahahahaahahhahahahah!!!!!!!!!

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Let's do the math here:


3 years he's been here.

That's 156 weeks.

I'll be generous and say one new TT thread every 3 weeks. Considering the offseason, and the gross tonnage we had week-to-week in 2005, that's damn generous.

156/3= 52 threads. Since I suck at math, let's round down to a total of 50 "TT sucks or is gay cause he's not married" threads.

Find the "Bench or trade Brett" threads, I guarantee you there aren't more than 10 of those on this forum.

Out of 60 total......




Crap. I still need a calculator. But.....eyeballin those figures, I'd guess around 80/20?? Like I said, I suck @ math, so someone help me out here.

EXACT A FUCKALOO! you cannot find a post where i ever said brett should retire or needed to be benched. in fact there were maybe 3 posters on this board who ever said that. and Trom nor longtime never said it either. we said Brett needed to play better. and he did. TT needed to put together a great team. and he did.

so we said TT should put together a better team and had faith that he would do it... by looking at the facts instead of hype.
and we said Favre should play better and we all had faith that he would do it... by looking at stas and facts instead of saying that Favre is perfect which by all accounts he is not.

TT good team ----- check
Favre play better -- check.

so you said.... TT sucked after 1 minute of being in office and that he would never get the job done, because he didnt do what ESPN told you he should do.
You said favre is perfect and that Ted Thompson was the reason his play suffered.

TT suck ----- blank
Favre better because of ted----- CHECK!


your just wrong so so so wrong.

So, just so I have this correct:

"TT should get all the credit for the 10 and 1 team "This Year" when just a few short months ago the same supporters defended his decisions by saying he was "building this team for the future"

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense !!! Look TT deserves a lot of credit for "building depth on this team; for the future", but if you want to give credit for winning "this year" , the bulk of the credit goes to Brett for coming back, MM for his coaching and the vets for their impact on the rookies because they are playing for today instead of for Ted's future.

Brett being considered for MVP of the year:

I guess TT could have just slipped Aaron in there at MVP level and we would have the same record ? ( No offense to Aaron at all ) but please !!

That's without even trying, and that's the tame stuff. Looks like some of your "facts" are being blown right out of the water.

And I'm not talking about topics...I'm talking about POSTS. Alot of people chimed in with their opinions on a post's topic, but didn't start the topic. Are there more topics regarding TT than Favre in a negative light? Yes, there probably are, but there were alot of posts that I remember by other posters that you are discounting.

Exactly, what is your point anyway? Why are you so backed up and bloviated over this issue? You may need a colonic...

People here have admitted that they were mostly wrong about TT. But that's not good enough for you, for some reason.

You say that Favre needed to play better. With what? You still haven't answered that question. With no WR's in '05 and no defense. With no O-line and WR's in '06?

Let's do the math.

TT could have fielded a better team in '05 and '06 if he would have used FA better. His choices for offensive line and WR position were not that good. (You won't admit it because you "TT Firsters" want to put it all on Favre). But this is a fact.

Now, thankfully..TT's draft picks at WR and defense have worked out, for the most part. The O-Line is better, but still needs some tweaking, and he might have finally found a RB in Ryan Grant.

You can try to re-write history, or twist the facts, but the simple truth is that TT hasn't been perfect in his tenure at Green Bay, but things are definitely looking up. I see that as a good thing, and hope to see it continue. But it's all good.

I don't know why some of you guys have such a hard time admitting your mistakes however, in your assessment of Brett Favre, and the fact that he was roundly attacked on this forum, and elsewhere. I guess it's my fault. I keep forgetting how "sensitive" you TT-Firsters really are...

I'll try to be sensitive to your "feelings" from now on. :thumbsup:

Whatever, go ahead and gloat.

Gloat like a Goat...If that's what floats your boat..., for all I care...

But don't be surprised if you ruffle some Packer fans who also support Favre and remember all the arguments. "Favre is washed up...lost his arme strength...can't play the game anymore...", etc..

You may have some Favre supporters "gloating" right back at you!

PS..I'm glad someone FINALLY admitted that the '05 season shouldn't be pinned on Favre, (as it shouldn't be pinned on TT either). Some of it can be pinned to TT, but certainly not most of it.

(By the way, who are the "TT fisters..." :shock: )

What does Favre have to do with people giving props to TT? Oh, were you one of the Favre vs. TT people? Suddenly your existence and appearances on these threads make more sense.

I'm glad Favre is playing amazing. I'm also glad I get to rub it in your stupid faces for saying TT is a matt millen clone and should be fired. god it's good to be right\tromadz.

There was NEVER that much directed towards Brett being 'washed up'. Never, not on this website. I know this for a fact because I read the site consistently, even though I have my own Packer site. Even when I was thought to be 'banned' I still was reading it. There was a massive misperception from a few Favre homers who thought a poster stating that Brett wasn't the same QB he was ten years ago, that in fact was the poster saying Brett is washed up. There were a few of course who claimed Brett lost it completely and was washed up. I was one of the many who were falsely accused of saying Brett is washed up. I simply said he wasn't making the same throws that he used to.


There was an immense hatred for Ted on this site. It actually overcame the website damn near 100%. There were threads about other teams that were turned in 'Ted sucks!!' and 'Ted is forcing brett into retirement' and etc.

Don't degrade the website with yoru innaccurate statements. It's appauling. Feel free to TRY and prove me wrong by doing some research. Trust me, you will find MANY hate ted threads vs brett is washed up threads.

I'm glad TT is doing well.

Can I rub it in your stupid face for saying that Favre is washed up and should've retired or be been traded by TT, then? :wink:

(I disagree Zero. There were quite a few people here stating that Brett was washed up on this very site. They should "man up" now and admit it, while they have the chance!)

There were others. Quite a few.

When I have time, I will root them out and and prove it to you if you want.

Yeah, I'm sure you will. And you'll find more than 5 Favre-washedup\traded threads too, right?

(hint: no, you won't)

Jeez... a couple hours to the biggest game of the year to date... and some are pissing an moaning about what was posted on an sports forum with multiple viewpoints with the posts comming months or even YEARS ago.

Brillant... We are 10-1 and having a great year.. sit back enjoy the ride.

How the Blue Hell did this turn into a Favre Thread?



Oh, that's right, that's about 60/40 what fuzznuts ever posts about, and let's see......yep! He's in this thread. So, that explains it.


Time to get this one back on topic.....


TT is a badass. One time I was lost in the woods, and manbearpig attacked me out of nowhere. TT showed up out of nowhere as well and ripped manbearpig's face clean off of his skull- not with his bare hands, mind you, but with his bare wiener. That's right, he mushroom-whipped manbearpig's face off.
