I saw this clip on "Cowturd" and I really couldn't believe what I was hearing.
Brady Poppinga was talking about after the Packers had won the Super Bowl in 2010. And he said Ted Thompson called him into his office to cut him from the team. He said Ted told him that one of the reasons he was cut was because with Aaron, they weren't going to worry so much about stopping teams with defense, they were going to outscore them.
Funny thing, that's almost exactly what happened in 2011. But if this is really what Ted said, and not simply the bitter ramblings of an ex-player, then it's no wonder we never returned to the Super Bowl.
It was such an unusual thing to see last night, watching the defense win the game for the Packers. Normally you get the feeling Aaron Rodgers is the only guy out there, and you have to depend on him to pull something out of the hat. This is strange and wonderful, but it shouldn't have taken so long.
