So, where is Ted Thompson? He's at an All Star game ... SCOUTING. Man, I love this guys passion! Very fortunate he's still scouting for us.

As a chief scout, Ted is tenacious.

Thompson could be there scouting UTEP's LB Alvin Jones... a year after drafting his twin brother, UTEP's RB Aaron Jones. (among others)

Ted Thompson was essentially demoted. He is no longer the General Manager. Yet, he's humble enough, and ego-less enough to keep balling out for the organization. I am telling you, the man wanted what is BEST for the Green Bay Packers. Yeah, I didn't like his silence or lack of media available or his lack of aggression of getting key missing pieces, but the man always had what he believed was the best interest in mind for the Packers. I admire the shit out of that. Everything I've heard from "insiders" is Ted is very humble and will stay in his lane. That is meaning, he will not interfere where not asked.

I'm excited for the new GM, but also very thankful for what Ted did and is continuing to do in his new role.

Between now and the NFL Draft, Brian Gutekunst (BG) will be enjoying something of a Honeymoon with the Packer's and the Fans. I will at this point give him the benefit of the doubt as far as his autonomy in making decisions like draft picks, trades, or FA acquisitions. Yet with Ted Thompson and Russ Ball still playing major roles with the team, I'm not so sure that they will not be BG's puppet masters.

IMO, if your going to clean house, then you must take out the trash. [mad]

Well put Zero. He was also very crafty in FA at times in the first half of his career.

You may disagree with what he did as GM ( I do as well), but it's hard to find a report that doesn't make you respect him, his work ethic, and his loyalty to the franchise.

With its unique format – a showcase with a controlled scrimmage rather than a game reliant on playing time and play calling – no other premiere college football all-star event gives participants as many quality opportunities to display their talent.

Also who said they were cleaning house? They seemed to just move the furniture around.

dfosterf (4h) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (4h) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (4h) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

dfosterf (5h) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (5h) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (5h) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (6h) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (8h) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (8h) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (9h) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?

dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out

dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?

wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : NFLPA report said Packers lockerroom needed upgrade. Whining bout where you change?
