Green Bay — Change most assuredly will not be in the air this season when it comes to the Green Bay Packers.
Ted Thompson, the general manager who sets the course for the team's football operation, remains as consistent as ever in his 12th season.
None of the nine men in franchise history who held the actual title of GM was at it as long as Thompson.
According to the Packers, Vince Lombardi is next with 10 years (1959-'68), followed in years of service by Ron Wolf (1992-2000), Bart Starr (1975-'80), Verne Lewellen (1954-'58), Dan Devine (1971-'74), Curly Lambeau (1946-'49), Mike Sherman (2001-'04) and Phil Bengtson (1969-'70).
