Ted Thompson will never go away. He will haunt your nightmares until one of you dies.
So you’ve got that to look forward to.
We speculated yesterday that the Green Bay Packers’ promotion of Eliot Wolf to director of football operations might be a sign that Thompson would be stepping down from his role as general manager sooner rather than later.
We can dream, right?
His contract runs through the 2018 season.
Thompson says no, that is not the case.
“No, it has nothing to do with it,” Thompson said. “It’s just part of our organization, and this part of the organization, the personnel part, fluctuates from time to time as it’s gone forward the 10 or 11 years I’ve been here.”
He went on to essentially say he isn’t going anywhere.
“I’m feeling good now and enjoying it,” Thompson said. “You wish these kind of conversations and questions would go away because it makes you feel old. I’m feeling good and we have a good crew. I like where we are.”
Maybe if we all simultaneously focused our overwhelming disdain for Thompson at once, it would form a laser-like beam of anger that would obliterate him from the face of the earth.
Maybe that’s how we get rid of Ted Thompson?
