Packers - Bears: No Contest

While watching the game with two family members (one, a Viking fan) who managed to talk trash throughout the entire game and never (I really mean NEVER) managed to say anything remotely interesting or accurate, I did come to some conclusions.

One, I can't believe the Packers paid $52 million dollars for a punt returner. What's that you say? He's plays defense as well? I don't think you're right about that, ...I didn't see him play any defense, did you?

Two, I for one was shocked, yes SHOCKED that the achitect of the NFL's worst offense last year managed to put up ZERO points at home in the season opener. No one could have seen that coming.

Three, I've been too mean to Ted Thompson. He's NOT the NFL's dumbest GM. Nope. He's actually one of the world's 50 smartest squirrels.



Just look at those pictures, ...same build, same haircut, same beady eyes, same brainpan, ...he even hoards 7th round draft picks like nuts in the winter.

It explains a lot. Outside of Detroit, you don't usually see someone take over a team and systematically run it into the ground.

And you just know that he's up in his tree now, sitting on a throne of acorns, clicking is paws together, nibbling on a twig he traded a 3rd round pick for in a complicated 3 team deal, ...and he's smiling.

"It's all going according to plan."

Beware the squirrel with a plan.
