Most of us frequent forums to discuss…
And one of us – you – frequent this forum to spew your admitted hatred of Ted Thompson.
In my opinion that makes you a Favre fan, not a Packers fan. Because how could a Packers fan proudly state on a Packers forum he hates a man who has accomplished the following as General Manager & Director of Football Operations of the Packers:
• Built teams which have made the playoffs four consecutive years, and five times in the past six seasons – the only NFC team to have done so.
• Built teams which have won 19 consecutive games over two seasons, setting the franchise record and second best in NFL history.
• Built a team that won the Packers 13th Championship; and not only that but …
• That Championship team was so deep it won it all even though it finished the season with 15 players on IR, including eight who started at least one game and six starters on opening day who sustained injuries in the first seven games of that season.
• Built teams with a winning percentage over 61%, which is closing in on his mentor’s winning percentage in Green Bay.
This is a man who has twice been voted NFL Executive of the Year – an award voted on
by his peers. Even most foolish Bears fans don’t call Thompson “a hack”, yet you have done so at least twice on this forum and beyond that, insulted him personally. [
IMO] You can hate him all you want – that reflects much, much more on you than it does Thompson. But what true Packers fan in his right mind calls Thompson “a hack”? The answer is none. You are apparently still so head over heels in love with Favre you can’t think straight.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but not every opinion deserves respect and because you can’t refute any of the above facts, your opinion on Thompson deserves no respect. How can a GM with those accomplishments be called a hack as compared with the other GMs in the league over the same period of time?
Some say to ignore you and I do that a lot. You can be toyed with because your bias and blindness allow you post things like you don’t care at all what players do off the field (how could a Favre fan post anything else?). And I have done that, too. But every now and then the board needs to be reminded that you have such a strong and irrational bias against Thompson you pollute the site with your venom.
I enjoyed the reports from that other site where Favre fans admitted they couldn’t fully enjoy the Packers Super Bowl XLV win. And although you probably won’t admit it, I enjoy that you are undoubtedly in that group. That's Thompson's ultimate revenge: You and other Thompson haters can't fully enjoy the success of the team you purport to root for.[
