"Buried"? You're alleging a wholesale conspiracy. On what grounds? Who was leaning on the reporters to ensure they remained silence? What carrot was offered or stick was brandished? Are you trying to imply that the folks over at 1265 Lombardi Ave. were slipping these reporters a few extra bucks under the table -- or that they were threatening to revoke their media credentials? There's no way that duck could have flown. Breaking this kind of conspiracy story would have been a huge boost to these reporters' careers; they would have been falling all over themselves to expose it. And what would anyone in the Packers organization have stood to gain from this kind of malfeasance anyway?

Did they ever write anything via any of their outlets assigned to covering the team? Why? Why did the org allow this? Personalize it and you may just find the answers you seek. Why did we read articles from TotalPackers on this subject but not JS, ESPN, etc? Think about it. Why does Michael Rodney say the things he says and the other guys don't? Think. Think of the CONNECTION.

An independent voice would and should expose this. I'm very disappointed McGinn didn't go there. I'd love to have a conversation about the reasons he decided not to do so. He was no friend of Ted's. Perhaps, he felt sorry for the guy and decided to call the dogs off and leave it alone? I just hope he fully explores the travesty this situation is now that he's blown the lid off it even though nobody seems to be noticing. Do you understand what has happened here? If not for McGinn many would be blissfully unaware of the real story. Bob told it. He was removed because of his impairment and it sounds likely the image on SNF played a significant role. Not a story? My goodness. I can't wait to see if the silence returns or if this gets fully explored as it should. No accountability. Mark Murphy should've removed Ted a long time ago...not forced due to complaints from board members who didn't like how he looked on SNF.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Uffda - I read the reports on PFT, I get all that you're saying.

My complaints come from the pretentiousness you project - that you're the ONLY one who wanted this, who saw it coming. EVERY OTHER FAN is a lobotomized lemming, right?

Whether we KNEW he had some mental disorder or not, for years many fans thought he came off as awkward, slow, odd /frustrating he wouldn't talk to the media. Many wanted more movement in FA. Many saw underwhelming drafts. Whether or not we all knew every minute detail you claim to have known for years, we could read variations of tea leaves and share levels of frustration you did.

Furthermore, you've ripped into Ted for years - cool, fine, you're not alone. However, it's utter bull shit that you now come on here today blaming the media and everyone in the organization for supposedly Ferris Buellering him along - if you truly know about this dementia or whatever this is for years, your narrative should have been dramatically different for years of Ted bashing - this sudden compassion you feel today towards Ted should have been apparent for all these years you claim to have known about this deep dark secret.

This is OFFENSIVE!

Any adult that looks at a physical impairment and assumes mental capacity is also impaired proves they are ignorant; it a demonstration of their dearth of mental acuity and morality.

Any of you moronic Dr. Jackasses see Stephen Hawking speak? Hawking is a shriveled up nothing of a human form; so is his mind impaired too? The IGNORANCE and STUPIDITY by some Packer fans is just an outright damned shame. This is as offensive as any racial prejudice EVER uttered by ANYONE.

And of all the people the ring leader of this stupidity is HUBER? Ever hear this ass-clown ask a PC question with his stuttering…lisping…?

So let’s ask Packer Report about his mental decline. What?! They deny it!? Ahhhh….haaaaaaa! That proves it and every report should be shot for not reporting Huber’s mental decline.

Oh and anyone that believes the BOD ordered Murphy to remove Thompson is also ignorant of how these things work. McGinn is a complete starving to death phony bitch looking for clicks.

Steve, I wrote on here that this offseason wasn't Ted and got hammered for it. Why would I write it wasn't Ted? I wrote it because I saw that he was impaired and what was happening this past offseason was different than usual. It now makes me ultra worried about how Davante and Lindsley got their money. WHO made that decision? It wasn't Ted. However, you see, without McGinn, it would be assumed Ted is the one who handed out the money. We know now that it wasn't him thanks to Bob. Thank you, Bob. I honestly think a lot of people would prefer the info Bob revealed wouldn't have been. How can you be as you were now that you know?

I wish I could find and link the piece from Arizona. I spoke to it at the time and it might be on here already. I believe I linked it right after I saw it. I know I posted about it for sure.

Ted was and is IMPAIRED...that is a MONUMENTAL story. How is it not?

Heck even he had nothing to do with it the 2016 draft is looking like it's going to be one of the best we've had in a while so if he was so clearly demented then it didn't show up in the draft.

Having declining health and being fully impaired mentally are two different things. One's health can be declining and they can still perform their job adequately. The only thing that will really bug me is if Ted is currently impaired mentally and it wasn't part of Murphy's plan to move on this offseason.

The man's health is NONE of our business, period.

The only decline I'm referring to with Ted is his brain. Nothing more. I believe that he was hidden and others did things behind the scenes..may be the reason for all the restructuring that seemed to never end. Ever wonder why all that was done? Perhaps, now, we have our answer. Ted was unfit.

If you don't think this is a story...that's fine. It's HUGE.

If he was to leave the org, then I agree. Oh, how the code of silence is wrangled now. They were a part of it and now are trying to shame those who question. I haven't been disrespectful. I'm angry and upset at what happened.
