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.

I think that would be a popular topic.

P.S> My initial comments were made with the understanding that the girl is desperate, at least for attention.

    Zero2Cool (5h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha
    TheKanataThrilla (5h) : That was terrible.
    TheKanataThrilla (5h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.
    beast (6h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent
    beast (6h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime
    beast (6h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing
    Zero2Cool (7h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is
    Zero2Cool (7h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true
    beast (8h) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management
    wpr (10h) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
    Mucky Tundra (17h) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago
    beast (18h) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years
    Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.
    packerfanoutwest (26-Dec) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it
    beast (26-Dec) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done
    Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

    Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!
    beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
    beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game
    packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won
    Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!
    Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol
    buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier
    buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol
    Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???
    Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???
    packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
    packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
    packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
    Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
    beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
    beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
