Packers should call an audible
Published 7/14/2008 at chicagotribune.com - Sports
It could be worse. You could be Ted Thompson. No matter how awful your life is — fallen arches, unruly children, two gas-guzzling Hummers in the garage — you could be Thompson, the goofy general manager who has decided that Brett Favre can be the Packers' backup quarterback in 2008.
