Wallmart for his kids birthday". Very good quote regarding how Ted Thompson goes about business here regarding the team and transactions. LOL


It is true.

How about this: Ted Thompson doesn't give a crap if the fans want him to sign every free agent that comes along to a multimillion dollar contract.

Not quite as catchy, but more to the point, I think.

...or "Ted Thompson saw what a complete bust and waste Haynesworth (or any redskins signing), Houshmandzadeh, David Boston, or Javon Walker were, thus is judicious with his FA transactions, siding with creating an environment that fosters a competitive environment amongst young, talented players who are still eager to prove their value and are willing to earn a contract."

Oh, and Ted isn't married, thus has no kids. Spends a little too much time in the office.

Hey it's the parade of the over-priced dipshits! NSD's sig says it best "Ice cold conservative." Ted Thompson may not be the flashyist GM in the league, but he gets the best results. Conservative...it must be an aquired taste.

Seriously, you could of had a field day last week with piss poor Special Teams, but waited too long.

For what it is worth, your quote describing Ted can be interpreted as follows: "shops at clearance racks" refers to him being extremely cheap, and "for his kids birthday" can only refer to his own players since (despite having no kids of his own) the players on this team are the direct fruits of Ted's labour.

Thompson signed / gave extensions to Tausher, Clifton, Collins, and Pickett that count for a total of 30.52 million against the cap this year. Unless Walmart decided to try and appeal to a much, much higher crowd, the above moves alone show that Ted clearly is not a penny pincher when it comes to his "own kids".

Learn to make more appropriate comparisons, and if you cannot do that then learn to be more explicit, you ass.

    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
    Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
    dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
    Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
