Sounds like a bit of a smokesreen. Never heard Ted Thompson talk up a guy in the media before he's drafted him.

I hope I'm wrong, I'd love to grab Schofe and stick him on IR.

whats the time-table for his recovery?

Thompson said too much. Motormouth.

---

LoL, same here. Although, it makes me smile when I think of how those who are really trying to figure out what he's doing ... how bonkers they must be ... yeah I smile at that thought.

Vexing means "Close your eyes and hope for the best possible result".

Isn't that what they used to tell Victorian women to do?

"Hi, I'm Ted Thompson. Welcome to my pre-draft press conference. I'm not really going to say anything or commit to anything that you can rely on at any point in the future, and especially not before the draft or my retirement from the Green Bay Packers. And I have no intention of retiring before the draft or after the draft either (that was that other guy, remember?).

"But I'll be happy to hang out with you guys for an hour or so if you want to ask me some questions that I will (a) fail to answer, (b) answer in vague nothings, (c) answer with lies and half-truths, or (d) answer by going off on a tangent about anything else I might think relevant to missing or evading or not bothering trying to figure out your question."

Then, sixty minutes or so later ...

"Thank you very much. Have a nice day, or a bad day, or whichever kind of day you wish to have as you blather on trying to read the tea leaves of this coffee drinker. "

Good for Ted. Keep your mouth shut about everything you are planning.

Silence is the way to avoid misfortune. The talkative parrot is shut up in a cage. Other birds, who do not speak can fly freely and build their nest.

Not sure where I heard that quote: But I remember it.

Why is it every time I hear him say something it reminds me of Dick Chaney's famous speech about " you don't know what you don't know."
