When he was running a publicly owned franchise...it is.

If he was to leave the org, then I agree. Oh, how the code of silence is wrangled now. They were a part of it and now are trying to shame those who question. I haven't been disrespectful. I'm angry and upset at what happened.

It now makes me ultra worried about how Davante and Lindsley got their money. WHO made that decision? It wasn't Ted.

Ted was the GM, and he did make those decisions because: TED IS NOT MENTALLY IMPAIRED and everyone around him effing knows it!

In his last several PCs, Ted showed unbelievably strong mental acuity, a brilliance, in answering questions without giving away any proprietary info, just like he always did. This requires a high functioning intellect to do this over and over and not slip-up.

You test mental acuity, by what people are saying, not by the fact that their drooling while doing it.

Do you not fucking understand this?

The only decline I'm referring to with Ted is his brain.

And anyone not ignorant knows rarely do those different parts of the brain degrade at the same time and rate.

Oh, and Z...MM was just extended 1 year. Did Ted do that, too, now that he's officially not GM? Now, being reported this was done WEEKS ago. So, our unfit mentally compromised GM signed off on an extension. Tells me this ran deep and the plan was inhouse and everyone was on board. I'm more upset than before.

He’s burned out and he’s drained. Dude needs some rest and some yin and blood tonics. Last thing he needs is people shit talking him.

I'm not saying I am/not a fan of his, but Eliot is the highest ranking in the personnel department currently, so if it's an internal hire, I don't understand why Eliot would be leap-frogged.

You're avoiding a simple question. If your claims are true that the media, Mark, etc. all knew Ted had dementia/CTE why did they choose to Ferris Bueller him? What was there to gain?

Nerd brought up good points - a dopey stare in a Vikings game doesn't confirm he has CTE. Could it be? Sure, it could also be overworked, depression, or a simple moment of staring off into space we all do from time to time.

I don't dispute that, but Eliot is highest on the hierarchy now...although Russ is sort of laterally equal, maybe?

I'm not pining for Eliot. I honestly have no idea how good Brian, Russ, Alonzo, or Eliot are or could be. I'm intrigued by Eliot for the obvious reasons, but readily admit I have no clue if he can do the job well. I'm just referring to the supposed "depth chart."

musccy...you've never been in media. My last post will be this:

Back in the 90's when Doug Woog coached the Minnesota Gophers hockey team, a player, Brian Bonin, made a comment about his playing time. Woog, who got the paper delivered, read what Bonin wrote and knocked on his door early AM and told him if he ever made another comment he'd never see the ice again and be out of the program. Dan Gilbert over at the Star Tribune who covered the Gophers knew of this story... as did others. When asked why he never reported it? He said it was out of respect for the Gophers hockey program and not wanting to paint it in a negative light.

I can only imagine that the Wilde's of the world get off on their chumminess with 1265 and wouldn't dare tarnish the org not only for their sake but just because they feel due reparation for being allowed to be a part of the machine there.

You really don't know how it works. You don't get real stories. Favre stuff was buried for years. The Jenn Sterger stuff was no surprise to many who knew what he was really like. However, it blew people's minds. Not Brett Favre! Look into Mike McCarthy and who he's married to and how that came to be. There are so many stories involving Michael Jordan, Joe Montana, Cal Ripken Jr.,etc that would boggle your mind.

Would leave you with that I promise you information is controlled. The Packers org appreciates your cooperation as a good fan of the team. I promise they do. Without people who don't question and just go along with what they feed you they run a multi million dollar for profit business thanks to those like you. You think a big business like that ain't gonna try to control the flow of negative info from ever seeing the light of day? I can only hope in this case someone with balls blows this wide open so that those of your ilk have no choice but to realize you were played as a dupe.

wpr (15h) : now 3

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?
Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast
wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.
wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4
wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am
wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
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
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
