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.

Zero2Cool (30-Jan) : QB coach Sean Mannion
Zero2Cool (30-Jan) : DL Coach DeMarcus Covington
dfosterf (30-Jan) : from ft Belvoir, Quantico and points south. Somber reminder of this tragedy at Reagan Nat Airport
dfosterf (30-Jan) : So eerily quiet here in Alexandria. I live in the flight path of commercial craft coming from the south and west, plus the military craft
dfosterf (30-Jan) : So eeri
Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?
beast (30-Jan) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.
beast (30-Jan) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.
Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired
beast (30-Jan) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.
Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia's deal
Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Chiefs again huh? I guess another Super Bowl I'll be finding something else to do.
Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : Chiefs Eagles...again...sigh
dfosterf (27-Jan) : Happy Birthday Dave!
Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : happy birthday dhazer
TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Exactly buck...Washington came up with the ball. It is just a shitty coincidence one week later
buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : I forgot, they corrected the call a week later. Lol btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY dhazer!
buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.
buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.
packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was
TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Eagles down by contact on the fumble....fuck you NFL
Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : I think this games over
beast (26-Jan) : Eagles sure get a lot of fumbles on kickoffs
Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : This game looks too big for Washington
packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : that being said, The Ravens are the Browns

beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)
beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab
Zero2Cool (25-Jan) : Any reason I'm catching a shot here about my intelligence?
Martha Careful (25-Jan) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me
Martha Careful (25-Jan) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not
Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!
beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋
Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.
dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.
beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC
Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no
Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.
beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?
beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁
