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.

That's assuming there was trash, I'm sure 1265 cleans up the trash about once a week.

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