Who is on this organization right now.
Not most responsible for Brett Favre being here.
I didn't highlight the quote.
Read the prior sentence to the highlight.
It is true, No one in the Packers organization RIGHT NOW is more responsible for getting Brett than Ted.
Obviously, Ron Wolf is THE most responsible, but he is no longer with the Pack...also obviously.
Here is my original post. Take away the emphasis provided by someone subsequent to my post and it reads a tad bit different, no? Like I said, good idea to read the thread prior to posting...sometimes it is important to do so. Thanks for the compliment ( :icon_smile: I think? :tongue3: )
Nice split job, z-- that was a bit of a toughie to figure out the "how to do", imo
On topic...
I would also like to reflect on the confirmation by Trippster of what I always suspected strongly knew was the the way Ted conducts business/management style.
He listens to his subordinates and bases decisions on their input, as any good manager would.
It is documented, for example, that Ron Wolf operated in much the same way.
For example, when he was contemplating the acquisition of Brett Favre, Ron sought input from one of his subordinates, specifically, Ted Thompson.
Ted watched the tape Ron gave him and concurred with Ron's assessment.
We as fans forget this, but I bet Ted doesn't. As far as who is on this organization right now...
Ted is by far and away the most responsible for Brett Favre EVER having been a Green Bay Packer, and that is very much under-appreciated...imo
One thing I always concern myself with is the possibility that one of his scouts has too much influence upon Ted...in other words, he listens too much to them, not enough. I worry when we draft anyone from Tennessee, for example. icon_smile but that's another story.
See the difference?
On another note ....
In possibly another vain attempt at interjecting a little humor---
NonStopdrivel crushed the competition when it comes to ragging on a fellow member over words, context, etc. I posted a photograph, with a (Vikes fan? I forget) holding a sign with text in the sign. I also posted a link to the source. He plus 1'd me for the humor, but then minused 1 me for the misspelling of the sign. You know, the sign in the friggin' photograph.
I still gotta laugh at the harshness of that one. I don't think anyone can beat that. :icon_smile:
