So...why do people hate Ted Thompson, again? A closer look

Now that doesn’t mean I agree with everything he does. But at the end of the day, I’m glad he’s running the show over at 1265 Lombardi [...]

New OT rule: What do you think?

So the new OT rule is in, at least for the playoffs, and it looks like this:

–A touchdown wins the game.

–If one team kicks a field goal on its first possession, the other team gets a chance to score; if the score is still tied at that point, next score wins.

–Any defensive score (TD or [...]

Checking in (and rounding up)

Hey gang. We owe you an apology.

We know it’s been a few days since we’ve posted anything new. Sorry, we’ve all been busy with various endeavors – work, mostly -and just haven’t had the time. We truly care about breaking down all things related to the Green Bay Packers, but sometimes, life gets in the [...]

OBOD Mock Draft: The sequel

Now that we are roughly 12 days into free agency, it seemed like the perfect time to run an updated mock draft.

(Plus, as you likely know, we LOVE doing mock drafts.)

Most of the “big fish” free agents have signed their respective deals and, as a result, some teams’ draft plans have changed. Our new mock has [...]

A Tuesday trip to the question department

Funny how things can change in a week, isn’t it?

At this time last week, there was almost nothing going on with the Green Bay Packers. I mean, I was writing 1,100-word posts on the “Lombardi” movie to pass the time, for God’s sake - and that movie won’t even come out until roughly two years from now!

All [...]

Tauscher's back, too

Mark Tauscher is back in Green Bay, and there can be no doubt now: Ted Thompson is trying to win a championship this year.

The offensive tackle, who came back halfway through last season after tearing his ACL in 2008 and stabilized the Packers’ offensive line, got a multi-year deal for what one league source told [...]

Thompson shows he's willing to go for it by handing out Collins and Pickett extensions

Say what you want about Ted Thompson.

But no longer can you say he doesn’t want to put the Green Bay Packers over the top.

I say that because, as many of you know by now, it was announced Friday that free safety Nick Collins and defensive tackle Ryan Pickett had both agreed to long-term extensions with [...]

Collins AND Pickett receive extensions! Hallelujah!

The big news we’d been waiting for, seemingly for weeks, finally broke Friday.

Although it was bigger than any of us could have expected.

On the first day of Fan Fest, the Green Bay Packers announced they had reached contract extensions with free safety Nick Collins and defensive tackle Ryan Pickett. Collins received a three-year deal worth [...]

Friday round-up: Old quarterbacks, new jerseys and dreadful commentators

With the waters of free agency apparently still too icy for Ted Thompson to dip his feet into, there again just isn’t a whole lot going on with the Green Bay Packers at the moment.

So we at OBOD have decided to roll out a Friday round-up for you, a few Packers-related items of note that [...]

So, De Niro is in...but what about the rest of the

Outside of an impending extension for Nick Collins (fingers crossed), there really isn’t much going on with the Green Bay Packers at the moment.

(Yes, I know they signed a receiver who spent most of last season in the Arena League, but I refuse to talk about it, okay?)

That being the case, I’ve decided to have [...]
