Packers Senior Advisor TED THOMPSON yesterday revealed that he has been "suffering from an autonomic disorder and it is the primary reason he is no longer leading the team's football operation." Thompson, the team's former GM, said medical specialists do not believe he fits the "profile of someone suffering" from CTE. Autonomic disorders can "occur alone or as the result of another disease, such as Parkinson's disease, alcoholism and diabetes." Blatter's watches are "not the only belongings of ousted officials that have remained at FIFA." Late former FIFA exec CHUCK BLAZER's vintage Mercedes "remains in its parking space in FIFA's subterranean garage" (NYTIMES.com, 5/8).
