Check out this press conference. Is it me or is his speech kind of slow and slurred? Did he have a stroke or something?

Yeah probably a stroke or a cerebral hemorrhage.
What it couldn't be is being exhausted from preparing for the draft & free agency.
He had a cold...and a few too many Bud's with ice.
It's possible he caught a cold or virus.
Need my wife to make some chicken soup for him. Cures everything.
Stroke is the only logical conclusion here.
A high ranking front office exec told me TT had taken a call from Rick Spielman 15 minutes before this presser. Rick had offered Ted a 1st and 3rd rounder for Greg Jennings. Ted wanted to do the deal but he couldn't becasue Greg is already a Viking. Ted was still reeling a bit when the presser started.
Thompson is more than OK. It is a hard life when you always have to keep people guessing.
Welcome to red herring #2 for the draft. He wants other NFL teams to see this interview and believe his brain has been compromised so when he offers them a trade deal they think they're taking advantage of him...but in reality he just powned them! Uncle Ted is playing these fools like a fiddle!

From what I can tell Ted has had a stroke in 2010, 2011, and 2012, as well as 2014.
2012 pre-draft presser
Hating every Packer fan in the world takes a lot of energy out of the man.

As long as TT can still pull off jeenyus type drafts. This will be TT in 10 years...

Butt-wiper would make anyone sick.
TT partied too hard on Star Wars Day. The late draft has him out of sync.
First time I saw TT at TC a couple years ago I thought he was about 80 years old. He shuffles around and moves like he can barely keep upright. As long as his head is sharp...
I'm 48 and only played sports through college and I'm starting to feel the effects of that in my knees and hips. I'll cut TT some slack since he actually played professionally.
Sadly, it's AIDS. A buddy of mine who knows this guy that went to college with Elliot Wolf's neighbor says they're working on an emergency succession plan. Good luck Bro!
webmd has made everyone a jeenious at diagnosing health issues....including Dr. Bob and Benni....pretty sure they are not real doctors....probably podiatrists
He's done. Time for the Jenius talk on who his replacement will be.

I was in no way "diagnosing" him, but I was somewhat alarmed by the way he looked and sounded. I asked if maybe it was a stroke or something, which covers for a multitude of ailments, including head colds. But even a reporter asked him he he was "OK" medically.
You're taking a pounding here Sep, so I am reluctant to add my two cents, but for what it's worth, my initial reaction to the podcast of TT's presser was "Holy ****, did he have a stroke?".
That notion faded as the press conference continued, but the initial impression was stark.
FWIW-IANAD, but that's no reason to forego an irresponsible diagnosis. I'm going with Parkinsons as my first round pick.
What were you guys watching? The man looks really good, especially when you consider his age. He has a bit of a drawl. Always has. It's a southern thing.
probably just herpes or something
Wonder when the board of directors will give Keyser soze an extension?
To me he's had that look on his face for a couple of years of someone with dementia, I wouldn't be suprised at all if he's in the early stages of it, the guy just doesn't seem right
