Ted Thompson has to go. The Packers are about family, history, integrity, and doing the right thing. He is no Packer. McCarthy and Murphy are next. I actually used to like McCarthy, now I can't stomach watching him either. None of these three deserve to be associated with, much less employed by, The Green Bay Packers.
I support this petition. - TT is a cluster $((&* of a GM - I am a Packer Fan and will be torn all season wanting TT fired so rooting for losses - and for AR - don't get to good cause if they like you more than TT and his little ego gets threatened you will be a Jet also very soon ...
I don't know who is more stupid. Ted Thompson, or some idiot (the beast?, #802) who signs a petition that he doesn't support? Maybe he should follow his own advice and get a job. But then again working does require some semblence of intelligence. Should I explain semblence to you, beast?
This is shocking. What amazes me is the number of fans that have decades behind them...and they won't support the Pack til Ted is gone. YOU ALL ROCK!!! Ted and Mike just took away our midwest values and brought "corporate" right into this decision. While Brett did make some missteps, he CERTAINLY did not deserve this type of parting. WEAK MEN MAKE WEAK LEADERS!! WHERE is the board in all of this? Mike and Ted better dig the media attention because this is what they will not only be remembered for...it is the last time either one will receive this type of attention and they are only kidding themselves if they think the MAJORITY of the team and fans are behind them...Ted and Mike deserve to be in pink tutus.
I support this petition. Not one of the most talented Bernice...THE most talented of all freakin time!!!! I am so upset with this whole thing I just don't know what to do!
I support this petition. Favre traded??? This is BULL***T! What happens when Rodgers is injured - hand over the reigns to one of two rookies? TT needs to go = EXTREMELY poor management. Can we get Favre back by claiming 'GM Insanity'? He has got to be crazy to trade one of the most talented players in the NFL and the Packer's biggest marketing $$$ maker. BIG mistake!
Hey, Ted. Now your name can be mentioned in the same breath as Jerry Glanville. You pompous a-hole. Don't worry, we'll leave the light on for you.
Sincerely,
Hell.
I support this petition. what a dumb as. This was all about your Huge Ego. You should have just come to accept that Brett has a bigger voice than you. No one will remember you but for this- Why the hell did you do that to yourself. This guy took you to the Conference finals- COME ON.
I support this petition.
Ted Thompson has been trying to push Brett out for quite some time just so he can make his mark on the franchise with his players (i.e. Aaron Rodgers). I have been a Packer fan for 53 years and I have never been so disgusted with the organzation. Ted must go. He put his own selfish interests above that of the team.
I support this petition.
What in the world does any football observer really think that Ted Thompson has ever done for the green bay packers? understand that the packers are the most unique franchise in all of professional sports. they are not owner dependant, butr rather fan supported and dependant. we as fans care little if anything about the ego and big business attitudes of the ted thompsons, mike mccarthys and mark ??'s of this organization. it used to be a matter of pride to be a packer fan and supporter. remember us, we bought the millions of dollars of worthless stock so that we could upgrade our stadium. remember bret, the nobody quarterback who got his chance when it came to him and never complained. your right, bret didn't regenerate the packer fever by himself and he sure had a fabulous history to build on. it took the likes of reggie white, sterling sharpe,mark chumura and a long hisoty of others to make the packers through the thin and thick years. but thru it all remained the fans, who believed, supported and never waivered. what ted thompsonhas served to do to the packers is to create a rift, no a grand canyon between, players and fans, fans and fans, board members and fans, news casters and fans. i'd rather have 1 more year of a loosing bret then ten more of the crap that ted thompson has done to our football team.
Since TT likes conditions(i.e. Brett's trade to the NYJ) If Aaron Rodgers doesn't play in 50% of the 2008 Season, TT will resign.
IF the Packers don't win at least 60% of their games Dueces MM resign also. I support this petition.
Brett made football fun to watch and he will be missed by fans. TT needs his ass run out of town with his 2 little flunkeys with him. They have turned a great football team into a joke. I for one have bought my new Favre jersey. Jets have a new fan.
Moron is the only reference that comes to mind for Ted Thompson. He must go before he destroys what's left in Green Bay. Go Jets. Where does Green Bay go now when Rodgers gets hurt, and HE WILL!!
I support this petition. How can you trade the guy who put the Pack back on the NFL map after 20 plus years of mediocure play from the 70's to the early 90's. For a man running a business who is suppose to make business decisions, this choice that Brett Favre needs to go, became personal and he overstepped his job duties. If you think he can look me and all Packer fans in the eyes and say Rodgers is better QB for the Pack than Brett right now, he'd be lying and we all know that! If this team does not get to the NFC Championship or better this year, then he failed and he did not do his job. Will the organization do to Ted Thompson what they did to Brett Favre if that does not happen? If they don't, I am done with them.
I SUPPORT this petition and I HATE Ted Thompson. I just watched the press conf and I have one more question....I want to know when the definition of "open competition" means keeping a playbook from a player, locking them out of the locker room, paying someone off all while telling the media that Rodgers is your guy and you moved on. I am sorry Brett that after years of enjoyment watching you play that you are gone, it's not fair. Sunday's won't be the same because I can't support my favorite team until this bonehead Thompson is gone!
I support this petition. If it is just business, then you keep the biggest money maker in the NFL. Yes Brett made his own mistakes but management should have anticipated and planned for it in advance. Hes a QB, they are management.....but fan desires should have been considered too.
I support this petition because Ted Thompson is a COMPLETE AND UTTER DISGRACE TO THE PACKER FRANCHISE!!!! Get him OUT! I can't stand the sight of him and take both MMs with you. Nice job guys, you've ripped apart the heart, soul and spirit of the Packer Nation by trading OUR Brett. Fire them all, NOW! They've brought shame and disgrace to Packer fans nationwide.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS CRAP!!! WELL TT GET USE TO IT!!! YOU ARE GOING TO BE UNCOMFORTABLE UNTIL YOU PACK YOUR BAGS AND GET OUT OF TOWN!!!
Murphy, Thompson, McCarthy Talk About Favre Trade
(WFRV) GREEN BAY (AP/WFRV) - Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson admits he's not comfortable that he will, historically, be known as the man who traded away Brett Favre.
Thompson says he, in fact, didn't want to be the one who signed the trade papers when they arrived at the Green Bay Packers' offices, but knew he had to.
Move on people. True Packer fans will be there cheering on the team AND cheering for Brett in N.Y.
As someone said, Brett had his chance to come back and compete and lead the Packers once again, he said no because his feelings were hurt. He needed to get over it and play for the Pack.
Blame Brett for this!
Life goes on, join it!
You all need to get a life. Brett was offered to come back and compete for his position, and he said NO!
Blame Brett not the Packers.
Brett was tough on the field, he is a crybaby off the field.
I still hope that Brett does well in N.Y. and Aaron does well in GB.
I support this petition. I can't believe the pack. It is a sad day for the nfl and most of all the dedicated packers fans. We bled green and gold but no more! As much as I HATE the vikes, I hope they humiliate the packers. Now I am a devoted Jet fan. Go brett, jets, and the packers management defenately needs to GO!
The most inept handling of a player situation - and most of all disrespect to the history of the packers organizatrion, the intelligence of the fans, and the legacy of players who gave and give it up on the field of play for the team and those who "used to" stand by it. Ted Thompson. Joke - and not a funny one.
I think Ted Thompson is a disgrace to the Packers,and their history. Most experts feel that your handling of the Brett Frave situation is at best odd, and somewhat egotistical. I however believe you are deranged. You are heading into this season with a quarterback who has made one start, subbed once and was injured shortly after both stints. His backups have never played a down in the NFL. This is the most irresponsible thing I have ever seen a GM do. You need a brain transplant becuase the one your using is shot.
The TTs and 2 M&Ms need to hit the road. I listened to the 3 stooges for their press conference - what a joke!!! Brett will one day tell his side of the story. Until then - Brett see you September 22 at SD.
The three stoges just proved it today how much they really didn't want Brett in camp. They are a bunch of liars and old Teddy should be canned. Ted's doesn't deserve to be in Green Bay.
time and time again he's made some bad decisions. He needs to be fired. tax payers pay for the greenbay packers and greenbay citizens should have their voice heard.
Ted Thompson's job as GM is to put the best possible team on the field. Obviously, his job description is beyond his comprehension. When an employee proves incompetent in the performance of his duties, standard procedure is to fire him. I am definitely still a Packers fan, and I encourage fellow fans to direct their wrath not at their team but at the one man most responsible for disrespecting the greatest player in the history of our franchise as well as damaging both our team and its reputation. Ted Thompson and his ego need to go. While insisting that the Packers are bigger than one player, apparently he forgot that they are also bigger than the general manager.
I support this petition.
I know that Brett Favre has been a rollercoaster for green bay nation, but to treat a man like this and want to get rid of him becaseu you want to finally see how your number one draft pick performs is the most egotistical thing that anyone in the nfl has ever done. May you burn in hell because you have broken one of footballs most cardinal signs and that is where you belong.
I support this petition. Ted Thompson does not deserve to stay with the Packers. His behavior is disgraceful. All three of them should be fired. They're all full of themselves! My heart goes out to Bett and Dianna and the rest of their family. He will be missed greatly! I will not be spending several thousand dollars buying tickets on Ebay this year! BIG MISTAKE!
I support this petition. for the good of the team, the packers just gave up a huge revenue stream in BF. TT is a class a egomaniac, and while mccarthy seems to be a darn good coach... just one of his butt kissing toadies. MURPHY DEFINATELY NEEDS TO GO... along with the entire board. You knew we were in trouble when the board tried to exclude harlan from joining the search for his successor. Folks... this IS the packers of the 70's now... packers fan for 27 years, stockholder... it will all be boxed away until sanity and common sense is restored in GB. GO JETS!
I support this petition. However, I am not a Brett Favre supporter, I say fire TT for the good of the Packers. Mark Murphy can go too. Let's give Rodgers a chance, we gave Favre a chance, and look what he did for us, maybe Rodgers is next.
I support this petition. Absolutely disgraceful behavior. Very poor choices made by two egocentric individuals in TT and his ingratiating minion, McCarthy. They will be haunted by their actions for the remainder of their GB tenure and deservedly so.
I support this petition. I will always follow my team but as long as TT and MM are there I will not purchase anymore Packer merchandise. We the fans need to hit them in there pocket book that is the only way to get rid of TT and MM. I wonder how many games it will take for our looser QB to lose before TT and company are gone
I am now a JET until Ted is GONE. He has destroyed all of my faith in our organization! I am a shareholder and WI native but feel totally lost with Brett's trade!
I support this petition and will be wearing my "Fire Ted Thompson" t-shirt at the Dallas game. He is nothing but a lying worm and has shown that to the world during the last month. Fire all three of the worms!!!
I will never watch, support, or care about the packers again until this S.O.B. is gone as well as his PR mouth piece Mike Mccarthy..
at least half of the fanbase has been alienated ... time to pay the price boys
I support this petition. TT, you and your ego have betrayed the greatest fans in the league and the greatest QB of all time. You've played this very slimy. Favre's stats speak for him. What are your stats? You have a job because of him. Lambeau is renovated because of him. International fan support was because of him. You've been driving away OUR QB since you got here. You should have gotten over yourself and done what is best for all involved--not just for your own legacy. Why would any player want to come back to a team that would pay him millions to sit on his couch. You just gave the Packers fans' spirit to the Jets fans. I feel sorry for the position you are putting Rodgers in, as well. In your quest to "move forward" you just sent the Packers flailing backward and got rid of a huge fan base. Nice job! Go Jets!!
