Ted and false rumors?

[SpartaChris]

Maybe it's my liberal side coming out, but am I the only one who doesn't care at all if Ted's into dudes?

Unless he starts dating Rodgers, I don't really care which way he swings.

I'm relatively conservative and I don't give a **** either. Just doesn't matter and has no relevance to his ability to run a team.

What I really question is the origin of these rumors. I'm sure many would point to Favre and company and I would think that a likely scenario. As for motive: revenge. But revenge is a funny thing.

Confucius warns, "Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves."

Ted eats breathes and sleeps ftball and I am glad. Its his whole life and nothing distracts him. I have never heard anything from anyone in the organization that suggests that he is gay. This only seems to come from fans of a man who enjoys taking pictures of his ****. If he is, good for him.

We thought randy would have stepped in line just like we assumed brett would be the saint he was portrayed to be. Not that much gets out of NE but nothing came out public that I remember that randy was a pain in NE until this year. I truly believe our offense would have exploded with randy in 2007. Too late though now to matter.

I think the fans want harrell cut because they are bitter, not because its a smart ftball move. He was performing well in camp and the talent is there. I have no problem with ted keeping him on. Bush was hated more than anyone and called to be cut for a long time but I have seen some nice compliments thrown his way this year on the forum even.

If anyone has talked to Wolf in recent years you will realize pretty quickly he doesnt follow ftball that closely anymore. But he likes to talk about his St Louis Cards if you ever run into him. Nice guy.

Ted is cheap

Look at the guys he has re-signed and for how much

Last year they were 9th in total salary, pretty cheap eh?

This year 8th

So Ted is cheap?

Ted doesnt go after free agents..

He doesnt sign the "typical free agents" But does sign free agents..

Clifton, and Taucher are examples of free agents he signed.

Pickett, Woodson, Chillar

Thats 5 right off top of my head that were actual FREE AGENTS

Who else?

 

[SpartaChris]

Nick Collins and Tramon Williams were both resigned by Ted.

LT, I remember alot of complaining based on the positions he drafted this year.

True. I questioned him myself, not for his draft picks but for not making the trades this year but the funny thing is, T.T. has come out looking like a genius on nearly every one of those arguments. Do you remember that "fire T.T." thread from earlier this year? Well, he surely must know what he is doing. I think he just does what he knows is right intuitively and could care less if people throw tomatoes at him and call for his head.

I think we might need to bring back that thread ....

People *always* seem to think the grass is greener elsewhere. If fans took just a few minutes to think about where we are now vs. where we used to be and the position we're in for the foreseeable future, they'd be more grateful.

What's nice is to see comments like these from fans of our division rivals:

Love hearing people bash Ted Thompson. Arguably one of the better GM's and people relentlessly bash him.
Hopefully they force him into quitting.

That from a Bears fan posted over at PFT: Week Nine mailbag | ProFootballTalk.com

I think it speaks volumes that fans of other teams have a respect for just how good our guys are. No, Ted isn't perfect, and yes, some of his moves lead some of us scratching our heads. He doesn't make big splashes in free agency or knee-jerk reactionary trades, but he's far from being the worst GM in the league. In fact, I'd say he's one of the best, and I think this season proves it. 10 guys out on IR, 5 starters, 5 immediate backups and we're still having success. Most any other teams would have folded by now. In fact, anyone remember the 2005 team, also riddled by injury and finishing 4-12?

Yet here we are, currently leading our division. Imagine how much better we will be next year when we have all of our big players back from IR. We have Ted to thank for that.

Were you born stupid? Haven't you heard or read that you can't prove a negative? Are you just trying to to have fun at Ted's expense?

IMO, after being called a liar by you, maybe you want to come out of the closet...so prove to us that you are not gay.

It's obvious you have some kind of personal beef with LTF. If you could please TAKE YOUR CRAP OFF THE FORUM and address it privately, that would be great.

Thanks.

Mods, do the right thing, this isnt getting any better. As requested I havent verbally lashed out since the thread about killing military personnel but if wanna be eastwood keeps it up I feel like its only fair.
