Jolly suspended for at least 2010

For quite a while, we’ve been wondering when the NFL would hand down its somewhat-inevitable suspension of Johnny Jolly amidst the defensive tackle’s legal troubles. Well, it came today.

The NFL suspended the Packers’ defensive tackle, who was one of the team’s best linemen last year, for at least the 2010 season for violating its substance [...]

I poke fun at Desmond Bishop…and Desmond pokes back

(Before we begin, a reminder: Our mid-Summer trivia contest will begin later this morning as we reveal the first clue. Again, we will only do so via our Twitter and/or Facebook pages.)

Over the past couple of days, a flurry of pro-Desmond Bishop activity has taken place on Twitter. Most of the Tweets have been spin-offs [...]

What if I told you that you could win a free t-shirt? That something you're interested in?

So, again, training camp is still a little ways off. And fear not – we’ll have a boatload of pre-camp coverage here at OBOD soon enough.

Before that, though, we’d like to play a little game with you guys and gals, the OBOD faithful.

A new year - and a new leaf

Sure, I could write about some things that actually involve the current incarnation of the Green Bay Packers. But now doesn’t seem like the best time to write such posts – better to [...]

A message to Cavs fans from a guy who's been here before

(Before we begin: I’ve been sick all week and haven’t been able to update the site as much as I would’ve liked. Sorry.)

Cleveland Cavaliers fans, I feel your pain.

No matter the color of the jersey or the sport, it always really hurts to find out someone doesn’t care about you as much as you thought they [...]

Officially back from vacation (and what a way to return!)

As you may have noticed last week, there wasn’t a whole lot going on at OBOD (outside of Gene’s excellent post last Monday, of course).

The reason for that was simple: I was on vacation. Not a vacation from writing, per se, but rather a vacation from my regular job. While I never actually left the [...]
