strangely quiet... no favre worshippers have a comment?

Good article. You're much better in print than on the radio. (Why are you so anti-Packer there?)

Who cares what this jerk does?

You are exactly right in that he tried to stick it to the Packers by going to the Queens. He would have been better off imho signing up for the Communist Party.

I hope the Packers never let him into the Packer HOF.

Bill, it is sad that a man universally admired in Wisconsin has chosen to destroy his reputation by his selfishness.  McCarthy has been proven correct in moving to Rodgers, and Thompson should be admired for taking the heat on his coach's decision. To complete things,  I would now like Thompson to  announce that the $25 million offered to Favre is being placed in a fund to be used by former Packer players in need of medical care.  What better use of the money could there be?

This is just throwing dirt on the grave in my opinion.   And no i'm not a Favre 'Worshipper'.  I watch the Packers.  I caught a few Jets games, and he clearly looked different towards the end of the year.  I wanted to see him do good because I like him as a player.   I really think this is Bill's attempt at 'I told you so'.  Thats all.  You just come across as a gossip queen.  Oh and Gravy, he'll be in the Packer hall of fame, sorry bud.

Bill you stated on the air on Sunday you don't care about Favre anymore!  Why write about him then.  If this is the only way you can get people to read your trash I guess you have to do it.  Leave Favre alone and let him do his thing and maybe you should consider retiriing from your job.  Take Ted Thompson with you.

My estimation is that the Packers did do the right thing by denying Favre to come back to Lambeau.

Favre would have retired this year anyways. Rodgers will only get better as our quarterback.

Ted Thompson has been villified by the press for "running Favre out of town." That's a big load of bulloney. Favre retired on his own, decided to unretire later, and then was poed when the FO didn't welcome him back like he was the only good player on the team.

If you want to blame Thompson for something, blame him for not improving our lines, which has been a problem--hell, since Holmgren!

Pedro-

When do you know someone's stabbing your team? Or don't you care?

By Brat's own admission, he was saved by the Green Bay Packers, at least twice from Skid Row. The Packers also made him the highest paid QB in the game.

In return he wanted to stick it to the Packers.

Good riddance to this traitor.

And Ireland, TT did improve the lines. We had a pretty good rotation of eight D linemen. But C. Williams didn't want to be here, Jenkins was lost to IR, KGB never recovered from surgery, Harrell can't heal up.

The O linemen are going through the same things Rivera and others have to go through - learning.

Shurmur had a pretty good front: Reggie, Gravy, Jones and Dotson....the guys who really made Holmgren.

Thompson has done nothing to help this team now!  We had a 13 and 3 team.  We now have a 6 and 10 team.  We need to focus on the present and not always the future.  If he is still the GM (I really hope he won't be) he better bring in some free agents to help the team.  Bringing in young draft choices will not help the now!  Seattle went to the Super Bowl after Ted left. Why?  They brought in free agents somethng Ted doesn't do.  Once you guys in the media get off the Thompson pay roll and open your eyes maybe you will see that.  In the mean time let's keep building for the future which will will never come under Thompson.

Wow! How did you miss all the young draft picks on the 13-3 team?

Or, the fact that the 13-3 guy who threw the pick in OT was 38 years old?

The futuere is 2009 and I see us being verrrrry compettiive thanks to TT.

Jaysus, where's the common sense amongst you New Age Packer fan wannabees?

The 2005 Seattle team was primarily TT's players, with some important additions, as JF4N says.  The genius that replaced him has not done so well since, has he?  Is that TT's fault, or the man who replaced him?? Thompson rebuilt an old, bankrupt team into a divisional champ in 3 years with plenty of cap room to sign present players, and add free agents, if they make sense. I think he will make additions to the defensive line this offseason.  We'll see.  People seem to dislike TT because he shuns the microphone and cameras.  I like him most because he shuns the microphone and cameras.

People need to get off of TT's back.  Yes, I agree and believe he needs to spend some cap money on Free Agent's this offseason, especially for the Defensive Line, they need another pash rushing DE to compliment Kampman.  They need to get Jennings under a long term contract.  They need to improve the line's.  I was the biggest Favre fan in the world until he pulled his crybaby shenanigans.  I will forgive the guy, and welcome him back to Lambeau when the time is right.  He did too much for this franchise and gave so much to the Packers for him to be shunned forever.  Level heads need to prevail here.  Ted Thompson is part of the problem of 6-10 this year, but he's not the absolute problem.  There were other factors, the defensive not holding on to leads late in the game, injuries did take somewhat of a toll, (even though I don't like using that as an excuse, but it is what it is when you lose your starting Middle linebacker, safety, cornerback, defensive lineman, that's going to hurt your team).  To the people who are saying "fire TT", what do you think that's going to accomplish??  Last year you same people were raising him above your heads and calling him a genius for turning around a team that was 4-12 to super bowl contenders.  They will be back stronger next year, and Rodgers will only get better with time.  Remember who drafted him?  That's right, TT.  And to find a quarterback right away to step in and fill the role so well that he did is VERY hard to do.  Hell, look at some of the teams in the league who are STILL searching for a franchise quarterback and have been trying every avenue for the past 15-20 years (see Bears, Chicago).  Come on people, back the pack, I see a successful 2009!

First off, of the six 2007 NFC playoff teams, only the New York Giants made it back to the playoffs.  The Dolphins, 1-15 last year, the Ravens, 3-13, and the Falcons, 4-12, all made the playoffs this year.  TT went from 4-12 to 13-3 and the NFC Championship game in 2 years.  This shows the fine line in the NFL between success and failure.  Had Crosby made his two game-winning kicks and the defense / special teams not melted down in one or two of the other half dozen games, the Packers win the division.

This 6-10 team is in far better shape than the 4-12 team of four years ago, which was riddled with jayvee talent.  The Packers have a known quantity at QB, a running back that should be to training camp on time, and fairly good depth.  We need to settle on the offensive line combination and keep those five guys working together, and we need help on the defensive line.  I'd also like to purchase a bus ticket to get Jared Bush out of town.

MM does need to step up and clear out some coaches, notably Mike Stock on special teams and perhaps Sanders as defensive coordinator.

I agree with Pedrobilt....maybe Unit is really Rosie O'Donnell and a gossip queen just like her??   BTW Gravy...not only will #4 be in the NFL HOF as well as the GBP HOF but he will join #3 Tony Canadeo; #14 Don Hutson; #15 Bart Starr; #66 Ray Nitschke; and #92 Reggie White as the only Packers to have their numbers retired  displayed high on the facade in the north end zone in Lambeau Field.    DEAL WITH IT!!!!
