There were a great many positives to take away from the Green Bay Packers’ 59-24 pounding of the Indianapolis Colts at Lambeau Field on Thursday night.
The offensive line, Ryan Grant and Aaron Rodgers all turned in very good performances. The defense wasn’t perfect, but rebounded after a tough start to play well, despite the absence of a [...]
I’ve spent the last hour going back and forth with myself about posting this; there are some of you who’d prefer we focus solely on the Packers and not touch the ongoing soap opera west of the Mississippi from them — well, I guess today, the soap opera is in Mississippi, but I digress. This [...]
Just read the ESPN: The Magazine (seriously, could the title of that magazine be more self-serving?) profile on Aaron Rodgers for the fourth or fifth time. And every time I read it, I come away liking the guy more.
Here’s why: I don’t want a guy leading my team that won’t associate with players, who looks [...]
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 [...]
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.
Don’t like games? What if I told you there was a free t-shirt [...]
Last night, when Chris sent Adam and I an e-mail about some of the t-shirts they’ve got over at BrentFavre.com — my eye went immediately to the now-famous “We’ll Never Forget You, Brent” shirt they rolled out last year. I’ve thought about picking one up for a while (it’d make a nice addition to my [...]
I’ve resisted griping about this issue for a long time, since one of the first things they teach you in communications classes is to recognize biases and how they corrupt perceptions. But I’m going to go with it anyway.
I was watching one of NFL Network’s many, many Top 10 shows today — something about the [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Brett Favre apparently needs ankle surgery to play in 2010, according to this report from ESPN’s Ed Werder.
My take: Well, it’s official. He’s playing next year, and just needed the proper excuse to skip training camp. He’d be able to rehab in plenty of time, but if you hem and haw a little longer, have [...]
