Today's dose of warm and fuzzy

Comes courtesy of Ted Thompson, General Manager of the Green Bay Packers.

As teams in the NFL cut players from their squads to get them down to 53 players, TT gave a press conference explaining the reasons why the Packers chose to ditch certain players and keep others.

On the decision to cut Tyrell Sutton (emphasis mine to highlight the warm-and-fuzzy):

Did you feel like it was a risk to cut Sutton, especially since he was claimed by Carolina?

Yeah, he is a very good player, just like he was at Northwestern. It came down to where we felt like we had a number of good backs and keeping the three fullbacks was a factor in this. We're sorry to lose him. Gave him a big hug today and he'll do fine.


Maybe it's just me but I thought that was really sweet.

Comments Moderation Policy

This blog is intended to be a place where I can develop my thoughts freely and get free and honest responses. Essentially, it is my safe space, and for that reason I have elected to maintain this blog as a moderated space. However, I am opposed in general to censorship and believe that usually the best way to kill a bad idea is with a better one, so very few comments will be rejected. Comments designed to cause offence for the sake of it (e.g. abusive or inflammatory remarks with no other content), or else those that I feel cross a boundary of human decency, are most likely to be rejected.
