Friendly fire: Update edition, part one

(I wish we could utilize sound effects on this site, because I’d totally begin this post with the ultra-creepy “Update” music that used to run on “Unsolved Mysteries” whenever a criminal was caught or mystery was, in fact, solved. You remember, right? The music that should have made you feel better because something good had [...]

Wrapping up a busy past two days

The announcement of the starting offensive line is far from the only important development in Packerland over the past two days.

Here are my thoughts on what else has been going on.

Preseason game two vs. Buffalo: These ain't your 2008 Packers

If you felt good about the Green Bay Packers after their preseason opener against Cleveland, you have to be over-the-moon about this team’s potential after Saturday night’s showing against Buffalo.

I use the word potential because it’s still the preseason, so we have to temper our excitement.

But only a little bit.

The Packers’ starting units on both [...]

Training camp stew- 8/20/09 edition (the series finale)

As Adam previously stated, he and I are pretty much done talking about Judas. In fact, we ARE done. Gene will be weighing in with his thoughts sometime soon, but after that, don’t expect any more Judas stuff from us.

We’re very glad that you all felt as passionate about the issue as we did – [...]

Preseason game one vs. Cleveland: A smashing start

Saturday night, we began to see just what kind of team the Green Bay Packers might be this season.

There were a lot of signs that the Pack could be pretty damn good as they blanked the Cleveland Browns 17-0 at Lambeau Field.

Still, there were some areas that were cringe-worthy (for the first preseason game, anyways).

With [...]

Training camp stew – 8/13/09 edition

Here it is, your nightly serving of the most interesting bits of information from today’s training camp practice.

The Packers had two practices today and, with only two days to go until Saturday’s preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns, there’s quite a bit to get to.

As always, this information comes courtesy of the folks at the [...]

Training camp stew – 8/7/09 edition

Here it is, your nightly serving of all the best bits of information from today’s practice.

The Packers had just one practice today in preparation for Saturday night’s annual Family Night scrimmage, which always sells out. Funny, the Minnesota Vikings have trouble selling out a home playoff game, yet the Packers sell out a scrimmage. Yeah, [...]

Friendly fire: Training camp battles, part two

(Quick apology: This was supposed to be up Wednesday afternoon. But the whole Judas situation caused us to push some things back. Our bad.)

Part one of our series focused on the three key battles along the offensive line. For part two, we’ll be focusing on three battles amongst players the hogs will – or, at [...]

Grading Ted Thompson's Drafts: 2008 Edition

So, as I stated earlier, I dropped the ball by not posting the OBOD review of Teddy’s 2007 draft until earlier this week. Ultimately, though, that works out well for you, our faithful readers.

How is that so, you ask?

Because you get two draft reviews in one week!

With the draft just hours away, here is the final installment of [...]
