I support this petition. Ted is about making himself famous, not whats best for the team. He has blemished the best team in history in the nations eyes forever. Go control someone who beleives in you. We are not the right team for your type of dictatorship. We are family
I support this petition. Brett was forced to retire; that's why he was so emotional when he announced his retirement. I think Ted and possibly, McCarthy, wanted him off the team for several seasons; that's why they are so adament about him not returning. I like Aaron and wish him the best, but Brett is OUR QUARTERBACK!!!!!!!
Ted, Listen to the Fans...or start looking for a new job! You'll be the one held accountable when your not-so-ironman Aaron Rodgers is on the injured reserve list (again) while Brett is taking another team to the playoffs!!!!!
I support this petition. MAN UP TED!!! release brett you moron!! now brett is staying away from camp cause ted asked him to so not too be a big distration to the team, brett is being to nice and is really trying to end his career with the pack peacefully!! MAN UP TED RELEASE BRETT YOU PUSS!!!!!
I support this petition.What in Gods name is Ted Thompson doing to the Green Bay Packers! i have been a Packer fan all my life and can not believe how Brett Favre is being treated!!!! Not only should they fire Ted They should make him leave the state of Wisconsin!!!! What a shame!!! He has tarnished the name of the Green Bay Packers and made one of the dumbest moves in Packers history! Our whole Wisconsin family is just sick!!! FIRE HIM PLEASE!!!!!!!!
Fire Ted Thompson now! This bozo thinks he's an f'ing genius and thinks Aaron Rodgers is going to be scare talented even though there is ZERO EVIDENCE that it's true. And to cover up for that carpetbagger GM incompetience he is trying to make it so Packer legend Brett Favre is not allowed to play ANYWHERE. Sorry it's too late if Aaron ROdgers doens't take the Packers to the Super Bowl Ted Thompson you scumbag and your fat lackey McCartney will be fired.
Do the right thing and release Brett Favre if you and then hitch your wagon to Mr soul patch. Otherwise you are cowards and deserve to be blackballed when the Packers fail.
Should have been fired for not getting Randy Moss, now choosing an unproven qb over a brett favre that was 2nd in mvp votes last year is absolutely stupid. That isn't even considering he is an icon for the NFL and Green Bay Packers. They pushed him out the door, I won't be a Green Bay fan much longer if they don't resolve this admirably.
I support this petition.HOW CAN GREEN BAY PACKER MANAGEMENT BE SO STUPID! COME ON! THIS IS BRETT FAVRE HE BLEEDS GREEN AND GOLD! GIVE HIM THE RESPECT HE DSERVES AND LET HIM PLAY! IF THERES A CONFLICT BETWEEN BRETT AND TED BY ALL MEANS FIRE TED!!!!!!
This whole thing is just maddening. I can't believe there is even a problem with letting Brett come back. How can you put all your faith behind Aaron Rodgers, back up to Brett Favre, over Brett Favre, legend and record breaker! You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure this one out!
I support this petition. TT should be fired. Brett has devoted his career to Green Bay, is an outstanding player, leader, and a special person for many reasons including all he has done for the people who live in Wisconsin. Lets prove that the Green Bay Packers and Wisconsin have still earned the reputation that this is a special city and team - unlike no other and do the right thing - bring Brett back and give him the respect he has earned. Otherwise, it may never be the same for a very long time.
Thompson has made nothing but poor decisions since he came. He's the General MisManager of the Green Bay Packers.
I used to pay extra $ to have Packer license plates, but am getting regular ones.
Ted is losing revenue for the team...See another person's signature on the petition...she's right on track.
I think Ted will be done in GB as Brett stays retired, Rodgers gets hurt, and Brett won't come back to cover TT's behind even if TT is on hands and knees.
Steping back from the Favre man-luv, let's view this as a logical decision;
1.) Favre generates money, the NFL is about to go uncapped in 2010 - truuuubble wen people stop buying your stuff because theyhate the GM
2.) Favre is without a doubt capable of leading this team to much greater heights, perhaps higher than under Holmgren, to diss him is to say the Packers are a great team without him and face it, they are NOT a 13-3 talent team without him.
3.) Ted Thompson was run out of Seattle, not just fired but escorted off the premises by security guards. Now he wants to inflict the same sort of "I don't play well withy others" attitude in a city known for being about the common man and respecting the traditions of the game?
Exactly what IS Brett Favre - if not a Green Bay "tradition"? Does the word "loyalty" suddenly acquire a new meaning, that "loyalty" now means Aaron Glenn - er I mean Aaron Rodgers is more worthy of respect and "loyalty" than Brett Favre? What has he done to earn this "loyalty"
4.) Then we have the "he called Minnesota" scandal, except that now appears to be a LIE - told by Thompson to smear a great player's reputation just to win his pissing contest. 2 sources - 1 inside the NFL and 1 close to Fave 100% deny Favre has a cell phone from the Pack, and it would be a salary cap violation if they had provided one. Either TT is a "cheater" like Belichick, for providing an off-the-record cell phone or he's a liar, take yer pick.
TT is an idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a life long Packer fan, but I plan on making BF's new team my team. Once TT and MM are gone, maybe the healing can start.
I support this petition. Ted Thompson is a softspoken turd who needs to be flushed immediately. Give the fans what THEY want not what your ego tells you. If I had known Ted was the reason Wahle left I would have been screaming this in 2006. He knows talent just not how to handle them or what to do in tough situations. Mark Murphy is just a BIG as a turd as Ted. I like McCarthy but he couldn't coach his way ot of a paper bag. COLD WEATHER TEAMS PRACTICE OUTSIDE. Ever since Sherman got canned they started bringing in more General disappointments. Ted should have hired then Def coordinator instead of McCarthy
I support this petition. Ted Thompson has really got to be an idiot!!! What's he afraid of? If Brett is not allowed back in Green Bay, then let him go. He deserves to play the sport he loves whether it's in Green Bay or not. I think what Thompson's afraid of is that if he releases Favre to another team, and we play that team, the potential is very, very high that Brett will beat the pants off of us. Admit it Thompson, that's why you won't let him go. Afraid he'll make you look like an even bigger idiot than you already are. You need to go. Go Pack Go!!! We want/need Brett back.
I am a Steeler fan, but I love and respect the game, and know that Brett Favre in a Packer uniform is the best thing for football!
Ted Thompson in his own arrogance is trying to force one of the games greats out of the game before his time! Showing that it is HE that needs to go and not Favre!
The media is just as guilty! As soon as a player starts to escalate in age, ESPN starts talking about retirement! Let me tell you ESPN, it is not your decision to make as to when a player should start thinking retirement! Forget age as a number, but look at the skill!!! Brett's still got it!
So Thompson, GET OUT! And ESPN, BACK OFF!
I support this petition.now the pres is backing up ted on all this what is wrong with this organation they can't see how ted has screwed up the team come on!!! the pack could have or have still randy moss,Marco Rivera, Mike Wahle, Justin Harrell, Marquand Manuel,along with some damn good recievers they should have terry glen,etc open your eyes guys step off your high horse before the packers fans step on you!!!i'am a pack fan and i'am ready to start steppin and follow farve anywere he goes this pack organation has gone down hill and really starting to piss me off!!!!
This man has done more to destroy this team than any player, and I mean ANY player in my life time. I'm 45 and have been a packer fan for 36 of those years.
To trade SAM-BAM for Vernand Morency and not place Blackmon on IR should be enough, no consider Will Henderson...
I could keep going, but why...
GET RID OF Ted NOW!
I support this petition.
