I find this interview very funny...hahahahaha.

This made me laugh out loud:

Q. What's the one area you think the Packers need to be better to be at a Super Bowl level?

A. There's probably a lot of areas.

Q. There's got to be one thing that's foremost in your mind.

A. I'm sure there is.

Q. You're not going to tell me, are you?

A. No.

And this part confused me:

Q. You claimed Smith when he was cut by the St. Louis Rams; did that signify you made a mistake in releasing him?

A. I don't know about mistake, at the time we felt like he could add something to our team.

I didn't know that we claimed him...so is he technically on our team right now?

No go.

We put IN a claim on him. We didn't get him.

I liked the last answer the best.

"oh"

Q. Can you explain the decision to put cornerback Pat Lee on injured reserve before the season?

A. He was injured.

Nice.

Q. Do you want linebacker Aaron Kampman back?

A. Sure.

Q. Will you make an effort to bring him back?

A. Sure.

Q. You think he's a good 3-4 outside linebacker?

A. Yeah, he's a good player. You can never have too many good players.

Q. Will you definitely make him an offer?

A. I'm sure we will. But we don't talk business.

Not the answers I was hoping for, but it's Ted, he might just be throwing up a smoke screen. You obviously don't want to get his trade value down.

This was a really stupid interview.

"Hey, are these guys good? Hey, can this guy play? Hey, why isn't this guy playing? Hey, can this other guy play? Hey, do you even know what you're doing?"

I like how he pretty obviously tried to bait him into a Favre comment with that last question. You can just feel the loathing this guy has for TT.

Good god. Looking through this again you can tell this guy was just absolutely seething during the interview process.

The amount of snide questions he asks is absurd. You can tell Ted Thompson just sort of started to tune him out mid-way through.

Q. Did the addition of Tauscher and running back Ahman Green - and their contributions in the locker room - open your eyes a little bit more to the value of veteran players?

A. No. I had my eyes wide open a long time ago...

Aren't Thompson's eyes always wide open? I don't think the man would ever lose a staring contest.
