As to Thompson's health, the speculation began with the pre-draft press conference in which Thompson's speech was slurred at times. IMO the explanation for that was more likely fatigue perhaps mixed with stress and a cold or flu bug. As Wilde reported, he spit out a cough drop before the press conference.Green Bay’s permanent disadvantage is it’s small town reality that some players dislike. I hope going forward it’s permanent advantage will be keeping the structure Harlan initially put in place. Along with a world-wide and devoted fan base, that will bode well for the franchise.</blockquote>
