I think the players, staff and GM think this team is better than it really is. It's good to have confidence, but there's a time when you need to wake up and realize that just because you won 13 games in '07 doesn't mean you're a perennial 13 win team.

I'm going to refrain from using the profanity I want to use at the moment, but practically every word out of this "reporter's" mouth pissed me off. He has no interview skills whatsoever. He asks nothing but viciously leading questions. He deserves all the evasive answers he got. If he had been interviewing me, I would have said, "Stop telling me what I think and start asking me what I think, or this sham of an interview is over."

He's not a reporter. He's certainly not a journalist. He's a one-trick pony with an obvious agenda, whose entire shtick is attempting to provoke his interviewee into making some controversial statement that he can put in his headline. He's worse than a defense attorney. Bleh.

If I was a GM who knew I needed to make some big pickups in free agency, I would talk like I didn't need to make any moves, or at least downplay it. Ever hear the saying, "Treat a girl like dirt, and she'll stick to you like mud",? Same philosophy here. A hot free agent is like a hot chick, you have to act like she should want to be with you, not try to convince her why she should give you a date. Make her want to date you. "hard to get" is a classic strategy for picking up ladies (and free agents), and it's a classic because it works.

Only if she's desperate. You're a thousand times more likely to get laid telling a girl that she turns you on than trying to play "high-status game" and feigning disinterest.

I'm in an open marriage to an openly bisexual woman. I speak from experience.

That's one way to look at it. But the way I see it, Thompson is going into his fifth year as GM so he had better be confident that he has a good core of talent. If he said that he did not, I would want him to be fired immediately. Next season should tell us a lot about where the Packers are in terms of talent. Maybe they played over their heads when they went 13-3, but I think they underachieved by a lot in finishing 6-10. Unless there are huge injury problems, I expect them to win at least 9 or 10 games.

The common conception of open marriages certainly is a myth. ("Oh, you just want the freedom to cheat. You just want an unending series of one-night stands." And other assorted BS.) But they do exist. I'd be happy to talk about this topic in a thread in the General section, but obviously it's completely off-topic here. 🙂

Those are the questions that fans have been asking, so I have no problem with this journalist giving Thompson the opportunity to answer them. It was the sort of interview I would expect with the GM of a 6-10 team. And I thought Thompson handled the questions pretty well.
