No, it would take one of my longer posts.

I'll stay out of this one entirely.

You're welcome.

The military is kind enough to do flyovers for almost every game, I don't think it's a big deal if there's money changing hands.

Utterly disgraceful. Thanks, Ted for bringing shame to our organization.

First, Ted Thompson didn't cause world hunger nor did he have anything to do with this.

Second, if the military came to 1265 and said we want you to help us recruit men and women for our military in such and such a fashion, should they have said, "NO?!?!?!"

You want to be outraged go to the debt clock website and you'll see the debt at 18.2 trillion; but look quick or the number will be higher. It takes about 90 seconds for our debt to climb 1M. in 7.5 minutes from now US will be another 5M in debt...POOF GONE!!!

5M is nothing; the Def department paid 5M for 14 hammers about 10 years ago.

Irony...just right over your heads.
Ted Thompson gets credited with things that have no basis in reality by people here. I can't discredit him based on the same things you do in reverse?

This org should've released a statement. In Texas, a state senator wants answers to this question that you just want to shrug off because it's the precious Packers. It is always fun watching Ted Thompson get defended as if he's your dog of 15 years.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."
