Ding, Dong, The Ted is Dead. Ding, Dong, The Dom is Dead.
Those two refrains should be enough for any Packer Backer to be dancing in the
streets and for most of us we are, if for no other reason that Dom Capers’ wide
open in the middle, laid back pass coverage and “No Tackle” zone defensive is
really gone.
However, in the infinite wisdom of the Packers Brain Trust
(I have my doubts about the brain part) Ted Thompson wasn’t fired or retired,
but given a promotion where he could and probably will be influencing the moves
“new” general manager Brian Gutekunst will be making this offseason, including
the upcoming draft. I have acid indigestion over the thought that the man who
gave us a team that needed overtime to beat the 0-16 Browns is still wielding influence.
