TED THOMPSON HAS JUST OFICIALLY TARNISHED ONE OF THE MOST STORIED FRANCHISES IN NFL HISTORY. HE MUST BE FIRED. 3 QUARTERBACKS WITH 0 STARTS BETWEEN THEM. NUFF SAID......
I support this petition. Ted showed a lack of professionalism. I do think Favre is being somewhat of a spoiled brat by not being able to let the way Ted has acted. Just play ball. I will be surprised if Brett does well in Jets land!
I support this petition. Is TED THOMPSON HIGH when he is making these decisions? Our last piece of SUPER BOWL 1996 is gone. Favre was a living legend in GREEN BAY and will be missed. Anyone else hate management?!?!
I support this petition. I think this is a huge mistake for the Packers. Maybe they should have traded Aaron Rodgers to solve the problem. Oh wait, nobody wants him.
I wholeheartedly support the firing of GM Ted Thompson. He is ruining a great organization. He has no lyalty and makes poor decisions. His poor drafting decisions and the handling of Brett Favre should earn him a permanent spot on the unemployment line. He pushed favre out the door and got nothing in return. A 4th round conditional pick? For a top 5 QB in the league? Thompson is a joke and Murphy needs to fire him immediately. If not, then Murphy is a part of the problem. Hire me, I'll do the job for free.
I support this petition to fire Ted Thompson. His great lack of integrity for the organization I have enjoyed for nearly 50 years is both sad and disgusting.
It is a shame that Brett poured everything he had for many years into a team that would snuff him so easily. I hope all the best to Brett and Deanne. I'm just a Cincinnati gal who WAS a packer fan. After this fiasco I don't want to watch Aaron loose any games. It will be salt in the wound.
We support this petition. After being Packer fans all our lives, we are done. We are now Jets fans because we are Favre fans. SHAME on Packer so-called management! You need to check out SaveBrett.net to see what Favre fans think of you!
He's made some good moves. And not made some moves (Moss). But the Favre mess must be cleaned up. One of many changes that need to be made to move on is to Fire Ted. Another is trade with the Jets to get Brett back.
Mafia Ted is NOT welcomed in Green Bay any longer.
Go find a hole someplace else.
He IS the reason that Brett was forced into retirement in March, and earlier.
Damn shame too.
Thompson you have brought ridicule to our wonderful organization.
Leave now.
I support this petition. TT is obviously inept in every facet of his job. If that is not enough of a reason to hand the guy his walking papers then how about his being an arrogant ass?
DON"T FIRE TED THOMPSON... FIRE ALL OF YOU IDIOT PACKER FANS! YOU'RE NOT THE GM! The Packers decided that they did NOT think Brett Farve could win them a Superbowl this season...so they are going to season A-ROD and since they only have 1 starter NOT under contract (Tauscher) they have this season and next season for A-Rod to make his name and bring home the Lombardi Trophy! And all of you whom want to hang Ted now... Remember how stupid you are acting today when those of us PACKER FANS... Stand by the TEAM!!!! Not one 38 yr old hasbeen QB!
You are all idiots... Yeah, trading Javon Walker was bad too huh? I am glad some of you won't support the Packers.. Remember that when they are on their way to the playoffs... ONCE OFF!!! STAY OFF THE DAMN BANDWAGON! YOU ARE NOT PACKER FANS... YOU'RE FARVE FANS. People get old...FARVE IS!
Ted Thompson's recent management decisions are a disgrace and an embarrassment to the Green Bay Packers organization. I will NOT support the Green Bay Packers again until Ted Thompson is fired.
Signed - Another Shareholder.
I support this petition. Ted Thompson is the worst GM this franchise has ever seen. I hope he gets the axe sooner than later. I will be wearing my #4 Brett Favre jersey to any Packer game I go to.
I support this petition. I have been a life-long Packer fan. As a kid, the 60's were a great time to be a Packer fan. As I grew up, the 70's & 80's were hard years to be a Packer fan. Then, when Ron Wolf, Mike Holmgren and Brett Favre came around (& MAINLY Brett Favre), it was almost as good as those early years of being a Packer fan. I will have Sundays free this year because I no longer want to watch this team, good or bad, for what it did to Favre. Once Mark, Ted & Mike are gone, I will be watching again. I really believe Bob Harlan would NEVER have allowed this clown show to happen, so Mark Murphy, you let it happen. As for Ted, I can only think he did not want to try and win a championship with Brett at the helm because it wasn't "his" guy and he probably would have felt he was on Ron Wolf's coattails. As for Mike, yeah, I know he has to toe the company line, but to me, he was just as stupid as Ted Thompson was in this whole mess. Do I think Brett was faultless? Hell, no. I know it was a hard decision, but he should have known himself and his need for competition. He knew he'd never be happy on the outside while he still had the skills to be at the top of his game. As for Aaron Rodgers, he showed his true colors in the SI article and this whole mess has set him up for a huge fall. If he gets injured AGAIN or falters at all, fans will be calling for his head in addition to the 3 stooges running this show. This is a sad day for Packer fans. I know it will be hard to stay away, but I will. Maybe I'll watch some Jets games to ease the pain. Thanks Mark, Ted and Mike!
Ted Thompson has totally disrespected one of the greatest players who has ever picked up a football. What did he think he was doing? It is even more obvious that Ted Thompson is all about money. It is all he understands.
But he is also extremely terribly short sighted. He has failed to understand that Brett Favre is all about heart.Full of joy when
he does well, never giving up. Ted Thompson is all business. But he made a terrible mistake when
he rebuffed Favre's need to play (heart) with money. I doubt that Bret is that concerned about money he just wanted to play.
In the long run Ted Thompson's pigheaded behavior will cost the Green Bay franchise millions of dollars because I doubt
Favre will ever allow them to franchise his name or likeness after this mess (It was worse than a divorce it was a amputation -- minus the anesthetic). Think of all those green and gold Favre shirts, pictures,and football paraphenalia that the Packers will not be selling. Other than his parents, who is lining up for an Aaron Rodgers shirt? What number is he? Can he play even one game without getting hurt ? How many games did Favre play injured or uninjured
Personally, I have found this latest Ted Thompson hack job disgusting. Thompson is supposed to be a professional who obviously needs some sensitivity training (assuming he has a soul). No doubt the fans will still fill the stands, but when Aaron Rodgers fails to measure up and the PAckers go 3-13 this year.... Ted Thompson and Mike Murphy will feel the pain.
Mark Murphy is an ass, and Thompson is the piece of crap. I will support Rodgers. This whole mess is not his problem. He's just a guy trying to do his job. TT and MM have messed with a great organization for too long. It's time to flush.
I support this petition.I can't understand why a guy with less then a full game of experience can be chosen over a man with 16 years of experience..... makes 0 sense
For the damage done to the franchise from TT's fiasco of the Favre situation, he must be removed. This is no longer about who is right, it is about the damage and fall out created by this current management. Winning or losing is secondary to preserving the history and mystique of Lambeau and Green Bay. TT has caused serious damage to both of those, and that alone is inexcusable.
I support this petition. Ted Thompson is an As* and has negatively affected peoples feelings all involved, Favre, Rodgers, and the Packers. Nothing but Negative Feelings All around! He should be fired. No matter what, he has made things worse for the Packers and if they really like Rodgers why would you make it so difficult for him to be accepted. I will always love the b Pack but I will hate Rodgers no matter what he does for no fault of his own. Way to go Ted!!! Leave we don't want you here. I ask All to watch the Packers But BOYCOTT ALL PACKERS MERCHANDISE! Hitting them in the pocket book may be the only way they will listen, to get rid this as* Ted Thompson. All he had to do was say welcome back from the beginning and all of this could have avoided. Go Jets!! FIRE Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy, these are Our (Stock Holders, fans and the people of Wisconsin) Green Bay Packer not yours we were here before you and we will be here long after your gone. O.K. I’m done now sorry for any misspellings or grammatical errors but I am pissed, disgusted, ashamed and bewildered by the way things played out.
I never saw two people more full of themselves than Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson. Mike is a Bill Belicheck wanna-be. You can't win by analyzing film and satellite photos. That might help, but technology will never be enough. Winning is always about extraordinary people. I hope everyone boycotts Packer merchandise, even the $4 jersey that helped build the beautiful facilities Ted, Mike, and Mark enjoy working in. Without Brett, Reggie and their supporting cast they have nothing. I hope for failure for all of them, and failure for whatever process gives the stockholders no power to remove them from their positions and keep this trade from going through. I guess Holmgren saw something was off and that is why he left. Boycott Packers merchandise - even the Farve jersey! They deserve to have a season in the red for their misjudgement. Don't even buy beer at Lambeau. Bring your own flask as well, if you have to attend the games. Eat your own brats in the parking lot before the games. Heck, eat cliff bars and drink water from the sinks.
I support Ted Thompson. Job well done. Congratulations on winning executive of the year. You've turned this franchise from financial ruin to a Favre interception away from the Superbowl. Keep up the great work. Go Pack!
I support this petition. This has been mismanaged from the day that Brett announced his retirement. Moving ahead... while listening to Mark Murphy and Ted Thompson after the "Family Night" scrimmage, anyone in their right mind could surmise that these two were well coached by Ari Fleischer. If their plan was to move on (which apparently it was from day one), so be it, but not at my or any other Packer fans' expense. These three(including McCarthy) have lied, cheated and disgraced the franchise, it's members- present and past, stockholders and most important of all it's fan base. This shouldn't be, just, a fire Ted Thompson site; it should encompass Mark Murphy as well as a head coach that "towed the company line" rather than do the right thing and welcome back a legend in the making. Whether you believe it was time to "move on" and Rodgers is the "guy" or Brett should've been the "starter", one thing I do know is he deserved, at the least, the chance to play for the Green Bay Packers -- the team he really wanted to play for. He EARNED that right for his accomplishments over the course of his career, let alone, for his play last year -- plain and simple -- case closed. You might not agree with that but too bad, it's my opinion and I'm entitled to it.
So now we have to move on, Yes we do. I am and always will be faithful to the Green Bay Packers -- just to many good memories. What has been tarnished/trashed is the manner in which Mark Murphy, Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy (and any of the other Packer Management, that had a hand in this) conducted their business. For this, all Packer fans need to sign this and any/every petition to remove management. Shareholders and fans need to go in writing with the Packer organization, Board of Directors, Management.... and let them know just how poorly this was handled.
As a note to Ari Fleischer, you certainly didn't earn your pay or respect from a fan's per
Someone already stated that a boycott should take place against everything Packers. What is better than that.....HOW ABOUT ANY PACKER FANS THAT GO TO HOME GAMES....WEAR NUMBER 4 JETS JERSEYS!!!! Just imagine the effect that would have on the media frenzy that has already taken place. I've loved the packers for as long as I can remember knowing how to watch football. I was 11 years old when I started seeing Favre energize this franchise. I'm now 27 and I don't feel bad that I'll be a JETS fan this season. Our team HAS been givin into the hands of a piece of shit GM...who's only claim to fame will be the guy who ousted Favre from Green Bay. Talk about a self defeating accomplishment. The Power of the Packer Fans should take charge of this shit and pray for an absolutely horrible season just to get a management change. Sad to see a legendary era come to an end. I truly hope for bad things to happen to Ted Tompson.
