Green Bay Packer Fans Should Be Booing Ted Thompson, Not Brett Favre

It's time. Time to call out Ted Thompson.

I cannot understand why the fans at Lambeau Field were seen booing Brett Favre. That passion and anger should be directed in an entirely different direction.

Packer fan: If you don't like seeing Brett Favre run out onto your field in a Vikings uniform, don't get mad at him. Get mad at your General Manager who ran him out of town.

Get mad at the man who decided that the Packers didn't need Brett Favre anymore. If the Packers are too good for Brett Favre, why should they be worried about him playing anywhere else?

Brett Favre took a ton of heat from media members and fans alike for his indecision. Where is the heat that Ted Thompson so richly deserves?

Ted Thompson, we are now a season and a half into your Brett Favre dismissal operation, and I think we can declare you as the official loser.

Your team that won 13 games two years ago and found itself an overtime away from the Super Bowl has compiled a 10-13 record since the departure of Favre.

Yes, Aaron Rodgers is playing well. He's putting up great numbers. Kudos to him for performing well in a tough situation. But, with almost entirely the same team as two years ago, the wins are just not happening.

Anyone who has followed the career of Brett Favre knows that he doesn't put up the best numbers you've ever seen. But he does win.

And winning is exactly what he did last Sunday at Lambeau Field. He showed the men who turned on him how big of a mistake they made.

He showed the crowd of fans who turned on him that he still has it.

So it's time to start talking about one of the biggest blunders in the NFL. Its time to bring out the nominations for the Worst GM award.

Don't look now, Ted Thompson, but Brett Favre is running away with your division title.
