Friday roundup - Clay, Lang, a different Harrell and more

It’s been a minute since we’ve given our thoughts on any actual, real news surrounding the Green Bay Packers. That’s mainly because, well, there hadn’t been much.

I mean, I know they signed a receiver from the CFL recently. But I’m not going to talk about it.

Lately, though, there’s been a slight flurry of activity. And with [...]

Get OBOD on Facebook? Check!

So, it took a minute, but we finally did it.

That’s right: OBOD is now on Facebook.

Our page, which just launched…well…a few minutes ago, is something we’re pretty excited about. It will be similar to our Twitter page – right down to the profile photo – and we’re hoping it serves as yet another cool compliment [...]

IF the Green Bay Packers never existed, who would I root for? I wonder...

Last week, I wrote about some special posts/series we’d be rolling out during the dead zone period.

This particular post, while not part of any series, is really the first of those special posts. It’s something I’ve been thinking about for quite some time now.

Question: IF the Green Bay Packers never existed – and everything else [...]

OBOD to appear in Maple Street Press' Packers Annual...and here's the cover!

Completely forgot to mention this to you guys earlier, but for those of you who don’t already know, the mighty Maple Street Press is releasing a Packers Annual Magazine this summer. The editor of said publication is none other than the great Brian Carriveau of Railbird Central (one of OBOD’s favorite Packers blogs).

Back in late [...]

One more question involving Big Ben: What if he was a Packer?

(Thursday, I wrote about a topic submitted to us by one of our readers, Nathan Heineke. Unfortunately, I was not able to touch on the final part of Nathan’s multi-layered question. I will do that now.)

Nathan asked in his e-mail: “At what price comes winning – would we tolerate a Roethlisberger with the Pack if he brought [...]

Roethlisberger prompts re-examination of some age-old questions

(Recently, we asked you guys – the faithful OBOD readers – if you had any interesting ideas that you’d like us to write about over the next few months. One reader, Nathan Heineke, sent along a couple of cool ideas. This was one of them. Thanks, Nathan. If you have any ideas, again, feel free [...]

A glance at OBOD's offseason plans (aka, Welcome to the dead zone!)

(Before we begin: I know I told you guys I’d be back late last week. But I was busier than expected and, frankly, a tad burned out after writing all that draft stuff. I needed to re-charge a bit. I have done that and am now good to go. Thanks for your patience.)

The most dreadful [...]

I love Wayne Larrivee

I had no plans or premonitions to write this before this afternoon, until I started poking around the Web. And I just felt the need to state publicly: I love Wayne Larrivee.

Growing up as a Packer fan, as many of us did, I would listen to Jim Irwin and Max McGee every weekend (most of [...]
