It was so obvious he was uncomfortable being placed in those situations and he always had his water bottle there with him as his security blanket. Indeed, dry witty snippets would be traded between him and the press. I was enthralled with the scene. The guys in the press would tiptoe around him re-wording questions in a vain attempt to get him to answer questions on subjects that he wasn’t going to reveal his secrets. To me, it was great theater. Ted, possibly in a moment of weakness, would quietly reveal a tidbit that we really had no business knowing. Like the time he dropped the news that their board consisted of 125 players that year. That right there is very revealing in how targeted their approach was. I was stunned by that revelation. I learned a lot by watching and listening to Thompson and I would bet good money that Gutekunst is repeating many of the same processes. I was certain that Ted wouldn’t write his book. It was already written on the field and still is. He’s the kind of guy that just silently drifts off into the sunset when no one is looking. I found him to be a very fascinating individual.p.s. still laugh thinking about seeing him get clearly annoyed when Tom Silverstein asked him about the UDFA’s in one of his last press conferences.</blockquote>
