Tuesday quick slants (copyright Adam Somers)

Let’s face it: Tuesday is the worst day of the week.

Sure, you’ve cleared that Monday hurdle well enough – perhaps with some help of your fond memories from the past weekend – but now what do you have to look forward to? Those weekend memories (if you can remember what actually happened) fade quickly, leaving [...]

Other thoughts on the first weekend of free agency

So far, we at OBOD have covered the hell out of free agency as it relates to the Green Bay Packers and the rest of the NFC North.

(Okay, maybe we haven’t “covered the hell” out of it. But we’ve been good….solid….decent. Yeah, let’s stick with that – decent.)

But what about the rest of the NFL? [...]

A look at the NFC North's busy weekend

Friday morning, I provided a brief look at what the other three NFC North teams had been doing in free agency up to that point.

Now, with the weekend drawing to an end, it seemed like a good time to provide an updated look (and, as always, give some thoughts on it all). After all, it’s hard [...]

Kampman stays in Jacksonville, signs deal with Jags

As Chris posted yesterday, Aaron Kampman was visiting with the brass of Jacksonville and was rumored to be have other teams interested in his services.

Cancel those travel plans.

The Jaguars announced this morning that they have signed the former Packer defensive end/linebacker, contract length and terms undisclosed as of yet.  There is no doubt Kampman got [...]

Kampman starting his search; Tauscher oddly silent

Saturday, 4:45 p.m.

After waiting a bit – and making some plans before breaking them – Aaron Kampman is finally putting himself out there for other teams.

Kampman visited with the Jacksonville Jaguars today, according to The Florida Times-Union. Friday, Kampman was all set to visit with the Philadelphia Eagles, although he apparently had a change of [...]

Clifton's signing brings some stability, but changes still in store for o-line

Friday, 11:50 p.m.

For pretty much the entire afternoon today, it was sort of looking grim if you are a fan of the Green Bay Packers.

Green Bay’s starting left tackle, Chad Clifton, was visiting with the Washington Redskins. The ‘Skins need a left tackle and have an owner (Daniel Snyder) who loves to overpay for aging [...]

While you were sleeping, the rest of the NFC North was plenty busy

Good morning, OBOD readers!

While you were sleeping, the NFC North teams not named the Green Bay Packers were plenty busy.

Here’s a look at what the rest of the division has been up to in free agency so far (scroll down a bit for our most recent Packers update):

Chicago Bears – The Bears are positioning themselves to be perhaps [...]

An update on Kampman, Tauscher and Clifton

Well, we’ve reached the century mark for the 2010 free agency signing period. And, no, I’m not referring to the game where you drink 100 shots of beer in 100 minutes. We at OBOD would NEVER condone such a game.

We are now 100 minutes into free agency. At this point, it seems like a good [...]

First OBOD mock draft of 2010! Hooray!!

Well, it’s time.

With the NFL scouting combine in full swing and free agency set to begin Friday at 12:01 a.m. EST, we at OBOD figured it would be a good idea to pull together an early mock draft. Like we said in our first mock last year, this baby is likely to change a ton [...]

Running back group the focus of much scrutiny

Last week, we received an e-mail from one of our readers, Tim Wellerritter. After saying some kind words about our site – thanks for that, Tim – he brought up the topic of Green Bay’s situation at running back. His thoughts:

“As far as the Packers, I would love for them to get a change of [...]
